The freebies are back, but the rules of the game have changed.

PLEASE NOTE - if you are reading this after Weds 26th March 2014, then the offer will LONG SINCE BE GONE!

Do not PM me. The ONLY way to get the freebie is to follow the instructions below, and you need to read all the way to the end.

Today's freebie is a Salus iT500 Internet programmable roomstat. You can control your heating from your smart phone or tablet, wherever you are. Normal price £124.95 plus VAT.

Clever stuff!

Here's their blurb

iT500--iT300-Text-1.jpg


I have a total of 8 to give away - maximum 1 per customer. By entering the competition, you commit to using the product, and returning to post a review in the Product Review section of the forum. The review does not have to be positive, but please try to be constructive with any fair criticisms. Just slagging a product or manufacturer off without giving evidence is not likely to encourage other manufacturers to submit products for review.

To claim your freebie, you need to visit this webpage

If you are not registered with the site, you will have to create an account before going on. To be honest, you probably can't do that fast enough to be in the first 8. You can have previously registered, but if can't see the price or the add-to-cart button, you need to log in.

Add one to your cart. Do not attempt to add more than one, otherwise you will be charged for all of them!

When you get to the checkout, there is a box to enter a discount voucher. Enter IT500FOC into that box. IT IS CASE SENSITIVE. The first two 0s are digit ZERO, the last one between the F and the C is a capital letter O.

The voucher code will only work for the first 8 customers, and only once per customer. If you are successful, you will see a green panel appear at the top of the basket, and your cart price will drop to £0.00. Choose the standard carriage option, which will be free. Proceed to the end of the transaction - a payment option box will appear "No payment necessary". If you have added any other items, you will have to pay for them!

If you see a red box with a "code invalid" mesage, then either you have typed the code in wrong, or you have tried to get more than one, or 8 people have beaten you to it. Sorry. You can proceed with the sale, but it will be chargeable.

I am doing this partly to test the voucher code functionality on the website. It may not work. It may irritate you. If so, I apologise in advance - we don't aim to p1ss anyone off, and hey - freebies are freebies. As with all such promotions, I reserve the absolute right to change the rules at any time and for any reason. There is no appeal. :)

Finally, a big thanks to Mr Dean Jepson, MD of Salus UK, for putting up over a £thousand worth of freebies for UKPF.

Yes happy in that it works and was easy to install. Minor glitches with software, especially when the clocks changed last autumn. Also minor glitch in that sometimes you have to set it twice (hard to explain) but not an issue as only a small problem that no doubt a software update will cure one day.
 
i have not fitted anything that can be controlled by the internet. Mainly because the majority of customers like a button ON/OFF

anything more than that and they phone me.

i will probably fit this in my house and see how it goes.

You won't regret having one mate.

I fit a BG one in my mom and dads house when their integral timer broke, and I have one ready and waiting for when I finally buy my home.

Im finding more and more people are coming round to the idea of this type of technology and really think its the way forward.

When I'm out on the lash I switch ours on in the taxi on the way home and the house is lovely and warm at 4 in the morning when I get back :)

obviously this type of thing is never going to appeal to the old dears who still love their back boiler and fire, but for younger people its amazing.

More ore and more people now have different work patterns and shifts and don't know when they are going to be home, so this enables them to turn their heating on remotely and save heating an empty home, so it'll pay for itself in a year or so.

yes I am starting to agree they are amazing, not just because I will be getting one for free.
Looked at the details online and they look good.
 
when I recommended salas room stats a while back the world shot me down, now they are free they seem to be the dogs Bs, funny that!

Thats prob because a while ago they were a pile of poop. Id used them and they were poor. Stopped using them because of it. Recently been using altech which apparently is a re badged salus. No issues at all with them. Obviously they have worked on the issues they have.

Looking forward to trying my freebie. Its going straight in my house for a good work out.
 
The normal salus stats are cheap, nasty and unreliable.

HOWEVER, they're breaking new ground with this product, as the first large controls company to embrace the wifi, and hopefully, if reports are to be believed, it's a vast improvement over their other tosh.

It's the reason they're freebies FOR REVIEW.

Everything is better when its free :)

you make a good good comment about salus being rubbish though, but who knows, this could be the product that turns a corner for them.

These ten that ray has given away will be a great starting point for us engineers to make a judgement from though. The only real way to get to know weather a product is decent or not is to test it.

It could end up being brilliant or it could of the other way and be pants :) but that's the beauty of these tests.

I cant knock the BG I have fitted in my mom and dads home and it's had no problems at all, this test will see how the salus fairs up :)

Paul delivered my stat me this afternoon.
Thanks very much, and thanks for the biccies and sweeties.
Also liked the personal note from Paul

Should be fitting it over the weekend, so feedback to follow.

Just missed you this afternoon at Petersfield
 
If any of you guys get one fitted this weekend you can see how it performs when the clocks change.
Last Autumn was a bit of a mess as the update to correct the time was a week or so late.
Hopefully only a teething problem then and issue sorted now.

Got my stat and wine gums today also, now all I need is some spare time to fit the thing. I am actually quite excited about it, I normally hate doing any work at home.
 
Mine arrived this morning, along with my favourite sweets!

Hopefully get to fit it tomorrow :)

Many thanks to Ray and the crew at Williams
 
Mine arrived this lunchtime, along with a bag of wine gums. Many thanks.

Going to fit it in our house this weekend and will report back.

Its come at an opportune time as she has worked out how to operate the programmable room stat.
