Dear All,
I was wondering if you could advise me on how to proceed with the following.
Last September I had an EcoTech Plus 831 boiler installed in our conservatory area and to this day it has been spot on perfect in operation. At the same time we had a basic wired Honeywell thermostat wired in a couple of feet away by our hallway cellar. Tacky image alert - [DLMURL]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/120915/tackyimage.jpg[/DLMURL]
Now when my father and I had the boiler fitted we somewhat overlooked the fact that we wanted the fridge freezer unit slotted right in front of it. The old photo below will give you a rough idea of what I mean. We did not forsee that in order to access the timer controls, and to actually switch the boiler off and on we would have to drop the control panel lid down potentially colliding with the fridge - if it was in its proposed place.

Long story short, we have situated the fridge/freezer elsewhere but I would really like to have it moved back into it's intended position. I know nothing about external controls for this Valiant. Could a wireless control system be used in order to switch the boiler off and on, and to setup a timer? If so, could someone point me in the right direction please?
We very rarely use the timer function since I wake up rather early at 4am for work and just switch the system on but it would be handy to have either way. I have been looking at some of the controls on the Valiant website but they look rather complex, certainly enough to baffle my technophobe parents. Thanks! :biggrin5:
