Weather compensation sensors

[JLS]

I've picked up a Worcester Fw100 programmer for a new boiler install but it didn't come with a weather compensation sensor, are all sensors equal or will I have to source a Worcester sensor for it to work? If so is there a specific one I need to get? TIA

It should come with one best phone up your supplier and get them to send you one

Open therm is not Open therm as WB boilers are not compatable with NEST so Im hearing.

Apparently, NEST will work OK as a wireless /internet control for WB boilers but is not compatible when it comes to open therm, the part that is required by Boiler Plus.

 

[S.P.S.]

When you say the open therm part is the bit required by boiler plus, where have you read that? All I have read is that it must be a smart control woth automation and optimisation.

My understanding of this is - the ability to learn/adapt to weather/usage.

I haven’t read anything about the smart control having to control the flow temperature by way of load compensation.

I’m just intruiged to see if I’ve got it right or miss interpreted something, that’s all!

Thanks

Have a look at PB Plumber video on YouTube "What is Boiler Plus ?" (sorry I couldn't post the link with my Smart tv)
