How to fit a wireless room thermostat | fit Honeywell wireless thermostat

[@chunkymonkey55555]

Just had a Wireless Thermostat fitted by a plumber, this is the best video around telling you how to do it. Only issue we had was working out which connection to put it into in the boiler. Good job mate.

[@ultimatehandyman]

Thanks for the comment ;-)

[@chunkymonkey55555]

I bought a Honeywell Y6630D Wireless Room Thermostat, which only has a turn wheel type of dial on it, no fancy digital display or anything. So working out if it goes into the 230v connection or the eBUS connection wasnt as easy to work out as you might think :) Works fantastic now in, well worth the effort!

[@jamire36]

Excellent instructional video, I just installed one of these on a Ferroli combi boiler and the most difficult bit was fitting the trunking and drilling for the wall box! Very simple wiring even for a DIY enthusiast like myself. Prior to this we had no thermostat so were controlling the temperature in the house with thermostatic valves and by turning the boiler on and off which was hopeless! 3 days on we only have the boiler on half of the time and the temperature control is effortless. Top marks for the video, and chuffed to bits with my Honeywell Chronotherm unit. Always sceptical of the range of RF, but our transmitter unit is working fine 2 rooms away from the Relay box in an old house with solid stone walls. My only regret is not fitting it last year and reducing the amount I contribute to the profits of my gas supplier!

***** Just wondering at 10 mins -20 secs in the terminal where you fitted the switching cable is block 72 where the link was .....correct..

[@ultimatehandyman]

Yes, the switching wires replace the link. The relay from the wireless receiver then opens and closes this circuit to switch the boiler on and off.

[@malachy1847]

***** Great upload always wondered how to get my head around this wiring loop... now i'm sorted... [ Because of the digital control introduced there's reckoned to to be a fuel saving of 10% plus ] thanks again....

[@puskycip]

hi guys. guess what!... done mine and .....success. It works. We did it!!! we did it!!...I mean I did it. Really it was a piece of cake. The guys who made the boiler were so clever to fit the room thermostat connectors outside on the back of my boiler's control panel. it was so intuitive. had to check first anyway the boiler's electric diagram. I had a clue of what I'm doing but your video was so reassuring. thnx ultimatehandyman

[@subrjs]

Nothwithstanding the bit about soldering; the actual 'stat installation was very informative. Thanks

[@mrqwerty65]

Every video you post is a corker. So much information and easy to follow content. You are a marvel...

[@ultimatehandyman]

Thanks for the comment

[@revanslacey]

Wow! Voltmeter, soldering, heat resistant wire, shrink fit stuff, clips, trunking. It like going ice skating then watching Torvill and Dean! Proper job!

[@shugipop]

Thanks so much I've struggled for weeks to get the remote sensor to work only to realise I hadn't reset the thermostat all working fine now saved me calling out the boiler guy. Thanks a bunch 😊

[@ultimatehandyman]

+shugipop You are welcomeThanks for the comment

[@BeardyRebel]

I've just changed my Worcester Bosch stat to this exact same Honeywell model and it's so much better. Mind you, this was one job I left to the boiler installer ..... LOL

[@imranmajid1978]

Perfect example of how to achieve best-practice when wiring; the time and effort in perfecting those cables is excellent.

You've been more helpful then a electics tutor. Vids are great

[@ultimatehandyman]

Thank you ;-)

[@MaureenStacey]

Brilliant. Suggest if you can’t get the green light flashing green, move the thermostat closer and try again. Worked for me.

[@fatboon]

hi, i finally got round to fitting one of these to my ferroli f24. identical connections to yours, but mine only works if the clock is in the I position. the thermostat bit is working, but i find the pump is running constantly. does your pump cut out when you switch it off

[@dinosauraccounts1411]

Excellent video. I have a ferroli boiler.. similar diagram to yours. The clock in the boiler is faulty if I replace with a wireless thermostat and receiver can I just take the clock out

[@lordshoa]

Thanks Great tutorial came in handy. Almost missed the double pole switch part as my boiler only had a spur unit in there not sure if it was double of single but changed it out for a double pole switched spur just in case. I installed mine on a Baxi 35/60 was same install only thing I figure out, was I had to turn the temperature dial up on the boiler for it to start working was not sure if it was supposed to be up or down to start with, but now I know and hope it helps others.

[@andreacangiani]

In my boiler the red link is not there. One of the two wires connecting the circulation pump is connected directly to the switch entry were the thermostat should be connected. I do have a timer already connected ahead of the boiler: is this the reason they may have changed the way the pump is connected? CAN I STILL CONNECT THE THEORMOSTAT THEY WAY IS SHOWN IN THE VIDEO?

[@RobsRepairs]

thank you, think i blew up my pcb by applying 240v to the switched live circuit, but this has helped me narrow down the fault finding, wish i had just done more research and watched this first :P cheers.

[@Razittee]

Great video. I have them fitted and working last year. The heating was switched off during the winter but now the thermostat is not communicating the receiver, what could be the reason. I have tried reseting the thermostat with no luck.

[@19A261]

I've honeywell CM921 connected to Ideal Isra24 boiler, since last year the thermostat unit stopped working/connecting to switch the heating on. The BDR91 unit is flashing red light constantly. The heating only can be switched on manually from BDR91 unit (small button next to the green light). I know there is a communication problem between the BDR91 unit and the boiler. I had PCB replaced, could it be because of that? Any help? thanks

[@jasondavies1009]

Enjoy watching your videos and you explain things in a easy to understand way keep up the good work

[@ultimatehandyman]

Thanks for the comment Jason 👍

[@David5495]

@9inety9 It's a CM921 so you can set it to automatically come at different times at specific temperatures throughout the day e.g. 0800 - 20ºc, 1130 - 16ºc 1830 - 21ºc 2330 - 15ºc and so on... The CM927 allows you to set different temperatures and times above but for every day of the week. If you just wanted a simple wireless stat without all the timing features then I would get the DT90E.

[@shouloakleyaha7576]

Hi there I have exact one has yours,have you had any problems with other rooms in the house not getting warm,has I am having this problem,I have places the unit in neutral places and still only certain rooms get warm,hope you can help thank you,

[@ultimatehandyman]

This will only set the temperature in the room where it is placed, once that room gets to the set temperature, it will not ask the boiler for more heat. You can either move the remote to one of the cooler rooms (which will mean that it will call for more heat), or perhaps adjust the radiators in the other rooms using the radiator valves. If you are struggling, just do a search for radiator balancing, that should help ;-) Thanks for the comment 👍

[@1justpara]

Thanks for this. My dad has one of these and it lost it's connection and we could not find the instructions. I've reset it once before but without the instructions to tell me which buttons to press for 3 seconds I was unable to reset the connection. Now I will be able to go and fix it again for him. Many thanks once again.

[@surtigurl]

informative video i have one of these can i take it with me if i go out anywhere? also on my honeywell CM921 ok button is not working to set the time?

[@ultimatehandyman]

No, if you move it too far from the receiver, it will not work. You might need a new unit, if you want to set the time and the button is not working!

[@petinyiri]

hi there, I have a honeywell ST9400C programming unit, and I am trying to replace my old hcw80 wireless thermostat and receiver, with a newer DT90e in the old receiver have a 5 wiring which are (Blue wired in N, then the brown wired in the L (2nd) then I have a black wire which wired in to A, then a grey wired into B and then the earth wired into the E, , do I follow the same with the new receiver dt90e ? if so where do I connect the earth as on the new dt90e there is no E (mark) only C, in the new receiver dt90e I have a NLL then ABC , any advice? thanks

[@scottyboymu]

For reference any live or switched live conductors should be marked with brown tape unless there is no chance of confusing.. and all multi cables containing 230V should be earthed

[@10rab2k]

recently had a really bad lightning strike mid year and took out power to boiler had a rough guess that it was the internol boiler fuse was just woundering for futcher refrance are thay located on the pcb panal and easy to replace if ever happens again nice upload can now get my timer up and running now :)

[@mufc99ok]

hi im getting used to heating programs in the uk ,s, y palns etc , so need to feed the reciever first and the the room stat does the rest for ya, i would have ran a 4 core from the reciever thats just me but what ever suits eh

[@blackmoresblood2489]

I'm replacing the same model. CM921. No matter how many times I press the buttons as you do, the unit will not go into the test transmit mode. Incidentally, a Honeywell video on here says press the left button, not the right one. Doesn't matter in my case though as neither option works for me!

[@richardwindle4055]

My CH is quite a modern system with a combination boiler, motorised valves and TRVs on all the radiators. A Honeywell 9400c programmer controls the timing. There is a frost stat in the laundry room which is where the boiler is located and next to the kitchen so unlikely to freeze BUT there is no room thermostat anywhere in the house. Could I just remove the frost stat and replace it with the sender unit from a wireless room thermostat then place the thermostat itself in the living room?

[@simonbuenosaires]

i havent done it yet but ive been thinking how to do this for a while, and your clear instructions are very helpful i will have a go, thanks for that, great videos your have

[@savagesi29]

Great vid - would this be classed as a volt free thermostat as it didn’t require additional power source? Looking to fit to my Ferroli which can only have a volt free receiver fitted. Thanks in advanced.

[@ultimatehandyman]

Yes, if I remember rightly it is zero volts (you just need the L and N connecting to power the unit). Thanks for the comment

[@rayc1503]

Volt free would have been wired in the same way.

[@PlatonGlobal]

Nice vid...a quick question, can we use the white box with the green light to connect a smart thermostat?

Great video and it was great to see the job as it was very much what i was thinking it would be in my head. I got a price from my boiler service co. and they want £230 to do the same job!!! I was a little unsure as i have not done one before and thought it would involve messing about with the boilers timer switch - In fact its very simple to do and the hardest part of the job will be fixing the receiver to the wall.

Can you add in one more wireless thermo stat on to this system for example one for upstairs one for down stairs?

[@ultimatehandyman]

No, this thermostat only switches the heat on or off. You might be able to do it using different zones but you might need your system re-piping.

I have an old room thermostat in the hall for altering temperature and a programmer in the kitchen for choosing on off times for heating and water does this replace both of these boxes or just the room thermostat.

[@h026532792]

Could you explain to me where the two wires go for switching the boiler on? I’ve tried using the low voltage switched wires and remove the link wire but my boiler stays on all the time, I removed the link wire completely and my boiler still works does this sound right to you? This is why I’m going to have to wire it with 240 V switching

[@ultimatehandyman]

Normally the two switching wires just replace the link wire, as it is just a relay contact on the other end which closes to complete the circuit. Thanks for the comment 👍

[@markanthony6778]

Hi helpful video thanks. I need to replace this exact stat with a smart stat. The only thing I am confused about is the switched wires, does it not matter which way they go round in the boiler or receiver? It didn't seem to matter in the video? Thanks

[@ultimatehandyman]

It does not matter with this boiler/receiver as the receiver is simply replacing a link wire in the boiler. When the receiver calls for heat, it closes a contact to make the circuit on the boiler.

Hi thanks for the vid. quick question when you connect the switch wire A and B to the boiler how do you know which way round they go?

[@ultimatehandyman]

+g wild With this boiler it doesn't matter which way around they go as thy are simply connected to a relay, which is closed when the thermostat is calling for heat (which closes the contact on the relay)

+Ultimate Handyman Ty for the reaponse one last question before I get started, the wiring for the relay box says N L L (neutral live live) I can see you used neutral but did you use the 1st Live or 2nd Live to power the relay box?

+g wild I just connected the wires to the where the existing N and L wires were connected in the boiler

[@gwild2927]

+Ultimate Handyman yes I can see where you wired it to your boiler yes but the relay box has room for 3 wires N L L. I was wondering if you used the 1st L or 2nd L in the relay box? Your video shows the relay box on the wall but it's not clear to see which connections you used!

How long should the all fitting take? I was billed one hour and a half for that. I think it is a lot too much. I am very opposed to thermostats especially when there are thermostatic valves on each heaters. There is a conflict between the two controls and also you can have the required temperature in a room and completely freezing in another.

I have mine setup so you have boiler on heat temp middle around 60 degrees but how hot you want the boiler to heat the water up to is up to you but need it to go hotter than you want the house temp or it might take some time to get the house warm, the timer if it had one is not used now so set it to constantly on as the thermostat will take control now, but you did not say which switches you have on yours.

Hi Great video. My old mum has just had a new central heating system installed (Ideal Logic 24 + combi boiler). Can you advise where the best place to but the wireless thermostat should be please? Some say in the hall (where the radiator has no TRV) others say put it in the room you live in most i.e. the lounge. I'd be grateful for any advice. Cheers

[@ultimatehandyman]

Ours is in the living room, but most people put them in the hall. The beauty of these is that you can move it around with you, so you can set it to say 19 degrees when you have it in the lounge, then just press the down button till it gets to 17 degrees and move it to the bedroom when going to bed.

I had the same system fitted 5 years ago. If you put the thermostat in the hallway, some way away from the non-trv radiator, it will work fine. Then you should be able to set the hallway temperature at, say, 16 to 18 C, and use the trv's for comfortable temperatures in the main rooms. You can then juggle with timings for best economy. The real advantage though, is that you can carry the thermostat around and close down the trv's in rooms you are not using. I find this saves me about £500 a year, with bedroom temperature 16°C at night and 21°C daytime (and 18°C is fine if I'm very active). If you do this, and the system was properly balanced, the hallway temperature should be about 16 to 18°C anyway. The milky white hot water is quite normal. Because the domestic hot water comes directly from the mains water inlet, It has lots of dissolved gasses and is at a fairly high pressure. Gas is less soluble in hotter water, so the milkyness is caused by lots of tiny bubbles as the pressure reduces and the temperature is raised. The only problems I have had were a faulty diverter valve and motor just outside warranty (expensive and annoying s), and the display fading after 4 years (expensive again.) But overall OK, so your mum should be very happy with it.

Great video. How do I know which way round to get the switching cables on the boiler? Thanks

At night I turn my thermostat to off , is this correct or shall I just turn the temperature down so the boiler doesn't come on in the night . I use the manual setting .

[@ultimatehandyman]

I normally just turn mine down to 16 degrees at night, during the day I set it to 19 degrees. I guess if you switch it off you might save some gas

hi. do you connect live and neutral to the boiler?

[@ultimatehandyman]

I connected the live and neutral to the boiler in this video but you don't have to. You can connect the live and neutral elsewhere if it's more convenient.

Hi can the wireless thermostat be wired up to any combi boiler

[@ultimatehandyman]

Roy Kirkham Yes, I believe it can.

[@ysnapzakazeeron]

Hi Unlimate Handyman, Im guessing that the heat resistant cable used was 1.5mm?

[@ultimatehandyman]

Yes, if I remember rightly (it was a few years ago) Thanks for the comment ;-)

[@Jaaammmbbbooo]

Mine has a red light on it, any help please?

[@ultimatehandyman]

There is a PDF guide here- heatingcontrols.honeywellhome.com/documents/All/pdf/Re-binding-Final.pdf Red light means it has lost communication, it tells you how to remedy that in the PDF 👍
