Brilliant. Doesn't it make your day, when a problem that had you tearing your hair, is explained in simple and precise terms, by an expert. Bless you, and thank you so much!

[@m6nster1965]

I’ve just had a new boiler fitted and it came with the T3R I knew I would’nt remember the plumbers demonstration so I had to find a video of it, Yours has been a big help, Thank you.

[@grannygreensocks6675]

I had to play this half a dozen times in order to understand the process. Reading the comments, I'm glad to see it's not just me being thick.Why can't someone design a user friendly controller with actual buttons on it? All, does anyone know how to reset to the original programme, which might be a lot easier than faffing about with all these little steps?

[@andyinthewatford7025]

Just got one almost impossible to use. Ridiculous how complex these things are. I literally want to just turn my heating on or off that’s it. I do t give a fk about the date and time.

[@chriszebra7806]

Absolutely agree! My biggest question is: Why is the program set to 21C??? Why I am having to look up videos how to change it down to 20C! I may just get something else because it's the most un-user friendly thing I have ever had installed.

[@raypratt6892]

I just had a new boiler and thermostat fitted. I was given an ‘indi tpistat wireless thermostat’ . If you think the Honeywell is hard to work out that that! I’ve spent a week struggling with it and called the plumbers for help. The guy who gave it to me came round and even he couldn’t work it out and replaced it with the Honeywell which is a doddle to use compared to the first one I had but I still don’t know why any of them need to be so difficult to work out. It shouldn’t be this difficult! @@chriszebra7806

[@babz7051]

Does anyone know how to just keep the heating on. Mine says 19 but the house is cold and my old one I would put on 19/20 for hours and it would stay on. This one doesn’t let me. I don’t want on 23 say as it will cost more then even still it cuts off shortly after. I just want my heating on till k switch it off. Can anyone help me please. I just want on say 19 There is no way my house is 19 now with it off it’s crazy

[@unicorndump9452]

I'm so glad I found this video and read the comments, I told the electrician to stop right there and I will read the manual because all I heard was button button heat button button up button down button. The manual was fkn useless. I'm 30 years old so I don't think it's our fault lol. The electrician was in a rush and that manual has no instructions just tells you what the buttons are. I just figured out how to keep my heat on lol thank you

[@user-gf5ez1np1s]

Thanks for clearing the cobwebs. I was completely bamboozled by the boiler chaps 1minute run through then just to read the instruction booklet. Your explanation/demo much appreciated-very helpful

[@bluebluesky3170]

This is so helpful, thank you. Just had mine replaced, due to it being unable to read the temp correctly. The instructions are useless and, like others, the original fitter explained it all far too fast for me. Today's engineer said it's "Typical council buying from the lowest end of the market" - total false economy, as always, due to repair costs. I'm on my third one in six months!

[@tracywatson9859]

Yeh this is my second one in six months also from council 😮

[@jdanielzz]

Our one is always at manual 22.5 temperature 24/7/365. Works well, can't be bothered with any other settings in it :)

[@chriszebra7806]

I find this Honeyewell product the most un-user friendly one of all! I may just get something else. Thanks for your vid!

[@daphodill6291]

Thank you so much. My engineer looked at me like I had 2 heads when I asked him for a demo. I never usually have a programme setting programmers or reading manuals but this one is horrible. You saved my sanity!

[@keithharrison1453]

Good Video. Worth mentioning for those who have the problem where the Honeywell T3R keeps re-setting and offering the Setup Screen, Mark Ballard MTD has a good video posted 25/02/2023 that covers how to fix this. Basically, it's the spring loaded Battery Clips, that need gently prising outwards to make a better contact. This may need doing to both the visible connectors in the Battery Compartment, and also inside the unit, where the same Clips press against the Circuit Board to provide power. Those can also be set too low, so just need gently bending outwards, then re-assemble, and there should then be a good connection between Batteries and Clips, and between Clips and Circuit Board. That should stop the random Setup Screen problem. All that is happening is the connections are poor, so any movement or bump, and that breaks the flow of power, and the unit thinks it has just been turned on, so offers the Setup Screen.

[@paulinehalkyard9312]

Thanks as our thermostat does this starts flashing and the boiler comes on .

[@yamyam_1978]

Thanks, had one fitted this past 2 days ... couple of electricians from Gloucester gave me a 1 min demo. I remembered how to turn it off (first thing I asked) but not how to turn it on ... Always ask a scouser 😂 Don't need it till Halloween

[@beckymuir1842]

Really helpful i couldn’t figure out why my boiler was coming on in the off period thank you!

[@angelvisions444]

Good video. It's important to mention the flame as if this doesn't show up, the heating won't turn on.. 02:14

[@captainthorn6055]

Thankyou so much best explanation on KZbin you made it so easy to understand

[@glowenergygroup9236]

You're very welcome, glad we could help!

[@loaurl]

Let's see if i got this right: P1 and P3 is when you want it on, you set the temperature to 20°C for example. P2 and P4 is when you want it to turn off so you set it to 10°C for example. So in auto mode you can only set it to turn on 2 times a day?

[@elainethompson1965]

Great I finally understand how to use mine it’s just been too hot at night I couldn’t figure out why! Thank you!!!

[@daveloz1]

Much appreciated for a decent demo on how to use this properly 👍👍

[@gooner6942]

Just set up my mother in laws one for her. Nice and easy to follow and thanks.

[@alisontaylor5743]

I found it easy and clear and a very good point on off temperature to stop the boiler firing up when off . Thanks

[@triplevxd]

Don't usually have an issue with user manuals, however this one was utterly hopeless. Thanks for the info about the boiler coming on during off periods. That's the bit that confused me. It's not explained at all in the manual. Great vid 👍

[@kenfoot699]

Thanks mate. A lot more information than I got from the installer. Video saved for future reference. Cheers.

[@simonheywood5065]

Thanks so much, this was very clear and helpful.

Brilliant. Game changer, I owe you a cuppa 👍🏻

[@SH-xv6mj]

You explained that really well, thank you!!!🙏

[@user-hx5cy6rr8u]

Thanks for mentioning why the heating comes on, in an off period of Auto. I get this now (though unsure why it would do it, as you have only asked it to be on during timed sessions) and can rectify and stop waking up at 3am to a hot house. One more question; what is the point in having a temperature for P2 and P4? Surely, if they just stop it, it doesn't matter??

[@rebeccawilliams2410]

Brilliant video. Thank you so much

[@NeddyNoodle]

thank god for you

[@sarahwood6021]

Thanks so much for this video Pete, really helpful! Have also been struggling with why rads are still on after ‘off’ time 😂 Does anyone know how to just add a 1 hour boost? Thanks.

[@raypratt6892]

He tells you in the video. Press the middle button once and if ‘auto’ is highlighted with the box around it press the middle button again and it jumps to manual. You then just use the up arrows to raise the temperature and the boiler will start and stay on for 1 hour.

[@shushannahcr8774]

Thank you. Brilliant

[@dontwastetimetoday493]

Thanks Mark absolutely priceless ❤

[@richiero0o0]

Thanks for the video. Really don't understand the temperature setting for P3 and P4 - does it actually do anything since they're the off periods!?

[@shahhossain4973]

Thank you. Easy explanation

[@normaanderson6676]

Thanks, Pete had no clue.👍

[@neilsimpson-es4pi]

This is a confusing device! Our fitter explained the P1, P2, P3, P4 settings - they are not on and off, they set the temperature you want at different times of day. If P1 is 20 from 7am, and P2 is 18 from 9am, the boiler will keep the place at 18 degrees from 9am - this is more efficient as when P3 at 5pm wants it to be 20 degrees it doesn't have to do as much work. He described it as being like a simmer rather than a boil.

[@daveemmons]

Great video that was really useful. Thanks !!🤟

Is it possible to change the schedule so that it is a 7 day program as my Dad doesn't want it to be any different at the weekend

The product specification for T3R says for the base unit "Find a suitable location near the boiler. Leave at least 30cm distance from any metal objects including wall boxes and boiler housing." May I ask why the base unit has been fitted close the side the boiler in the video?

My remote honeywell has a plain face with just a central button. How to use it??

[@TheRowanR1]

I’ve done everything in this video, on the actual boiler do you need to keep the dial for the heating turned on can you leave on 0 and this will turn it on automatically?

[@farazbari26]

Thank you very much for the information. My biggest question is when you set up the start time on the auto mode for heating how, long the heating timer last, it's 1 hour , 2 hour or etc. Thanks

[@valwas6581]

Hi Faraz, if I am not wrong, you have to set your own timing, at your choice. In other words, you have to input start time and end time. I think that for end time you have to set the temp very low, otherwise it stays on continuously. This device is perverse.

[@farazbari26]

@@valwas6581 Thanks for replying. You got my point but I didn't see the end time . I will look it again otherwise I will contact you soon. Thank for your help

[@kakkunkk]

From my memory of the manual, the default schedule is set at 21 degrees 6:30am to 8am. From 8am to I think 6pm its set to 18 degrees. From 6pm to 10:30pm its set to 21 degrees. And from 10:30pm to 6:30am its back to 18 degrees.

this thermostat can you set it to turn off and on at a set time and how

[@geoffbuckley8637]

My T3R suddenly goes blank and then asks me to reset the date and time. Seems very random but often after I try to set a new temperature. Sometimes I come down in the morning and it's flashing. Very annoying!

[@user-fu3et5ry6s]

My control is Honeywell Home so this is no good for me.Do you explain my one,thank you

[@stuartmolyneux64]

Mine is unresponsive since the kitchen fitter moved the receiver unit. The boiler now has 2 modes - 1 Heating fully on 2 No heat, but a ready supply of hot water

[@kakkunkk]

Not sure if this helps but I asked the plumber what to do in this situation. He said to resync the device with the receiver, take out the batteries from the thermostat and replace them. It should auto connect back with the receiver. Hopefully its as simple as that 🤞🏻. I can't fully remember but does this model have a compatible app?

[@Smaffs59]

Watched this a couple of time and programmed for morning and evening. Bloody thing is always on. What is the SET temperature you refer to @5:20 ? Surely it is illogical for the boiler to come on outside of the times you have programmed it?

[@valwas6581]

Smaffs59 I have the same problem. Total crap of engineering. I hv tried to set the off temp to 5c but it keeps re igniting

[@valwas6581]

It is illogical, like the minds of the engineers behind many electronic devices

[@Smaffs59]

@@valwas6581 I think I figured it. You set the temp you want when you have the ON time and then when you set the OFF time you put a really low temperature. I was keeping them the same. I guess that gives you the opportunity to have a different temperature in the different ON times.

@@valwas6581 It definitely works for me. For 1 and 3 I have the temperature set to 18 degrees and for 2 and 4 I set it to 5 degrees. Comes on when it should and goes off. In my case it would only come on in between now if the room temperature went below 5 degrees.

[@kakkunkk]

I'm not sure if my thermostat is calibrated correctly in reading room temperature. I was holding it to adjust the schedule for a few minutes and it raised by 2 degrees? Is that normal? I know the sensor is inside the device but it seems to remain at 21 degrees a lot.

[@GlasAuFruix]

Intalled this at my dad's place, now he wants to murder me :D Anyway, i don't know if i got a bad unit or something, but just picking it up shoots the temp by 2 degrees almost instantly and then it takes it almost 20 minutes to get down. It is also firing up the boiler for like 3 minutes, then it stops. The little flame is indicating the boiler is supposed to be on but the wireless receiver says it's not. Oftentimes it turns on then turns off, then tries to turn on again but too bad the boiler has a timer to avoid those kinds of things. It's working very very weirdly, would not recoomend.
