Can anyone recommend a Timer with more Time Settings?

[events]

I would prefer to have heating come on 4/5 times through the night, yes I know I can adjust/control the thermostat at the radiator but don't want heating running constantly throughout the night, would like to have it come on for a 30 to 45min blast and 4/5 times throughout the night, currently have a Drayton Lifestyle and find it's very limited (only 3 timed periods)

What are you trying to achieve, and why?

Why don`t you get a Programmable wireless stat then you can set your target temperature throughout the night. ie if temperature drops below 16 degrees it will come on until that temperature reached.

get an engineer in to explain how to use a modern programmable stat, and consider having an outside sensor/compensator fitted and your dreams will be answered, then though dont fiddle once its been set up and working

It doesn't make sense to time control a boiler like that on a properly designed and configured and controlled system.

I know of one device that will do exaatly what you want.

My question though, instead of jumping to a product / solution is WHY? What do you want to achieve?

Agree but the product best suited to this is

http://www.myson.co.uk/products/programmable_room_stats.asp

24 individual time points ( so 24 possible on and offs) 3 settings high medium and low so about 1500 different combinations of heating permutations

I don't think you are going to gain anything, blasting it on and off through out the night. Just keep it on a moderate temperature ticking over, it will use a lot less energy, if you have good insulation in the building.

Like it, now do you know of a similar one for a cylinder / cylinder stat?
Looking for one to cope with multiple renewable sources so that I can prioritise what to use when it's available.

 

[Ermintrude]

Glue it to cylinder?

 

[Worcester]

I know of the Danfoss WP75-RF, however that's going obsolete
Someone must do one!

 

[Ermintrude]

2ch programmer with two stats?

 

[happyflyer]

Come on lads this one available from Srew-fix
a peg type time switch for the oldies think there is a on and off peg about every half hour, nothing wrong with my memory
£9.00 simplez, thought you would have known this one Ermi:ciappa:

 

[happyflyer]

You could also use a repeat electronic timer that will turn on and off at a regular intervals, they can be set, seconds, mins,hours, RS or CPC do them but are fixed
once its set, drive you crazy all night ticking pipe on and off, pump bagging on and off, could have soft start, did I just say that....grhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Forgot those, got an old Horstmann one with toggle switches in the shed somewhere!

 

[Ermintrude]

It's not dual channel / dual temp I.e different temps at different times.
