Which is great if you have 5v usb enabled walls
A thin cable carrying 5V is far easier to run than mains power. Mine is running about 30ft from its power source.

It is I agree, but having batteries and being able to put it where you like means no cables, ours gets moved frequently.
Down side of this is the girl child has actually lost her stat lol
I have the same wireless remote thermostat, I installed it myself to a system that historically had no thermostat and an ancient boiler,Ours is a Salus wireless thermostat/timer.
Fitted it as a trial/stop gap as Honeywell, Nest or anyone like that couldn't say if their setups would work with our boiler setup.
2 years later, it's still working fine, so havnt bothered to do anything else.
If you can get the same it should re bond with existing receiver
Receiver is straight forward wiring wise if you need to change.
....do you know if it has thermostatic valves on the rads or not ?
as the thermostatic valves will work as normal and boiler shuts down when system pipes get to temp weather the stat is calling for heat or not....
Just a quick revisit, but the frost stat being in the garage means the heating runs whenever the outside temp drops below 3°c. And it runs all day and night. Regardless how hot the house gets, the frost stat doesn't get any warmer. It's a foot away from the boiler, in a basically un-insulated garage.
The last two years I've had it unplugged, but this year the Homecare guy serviced the boiler couple of days ago and must have plugged it back in, as yesterday I noticed the heating was running and the house was hotter than I normally have it, ever.
Is that a standard sort of thing? I was told there's a frost stat built internally in the Vallient boiler, plus there's another clipped to the lower pipe as in the pic earlier in the thread. What logic would have the boiler running 24/7 because it's cold outside?
I've unplugged the frost stat again, and I'll run the heating for an hour in the morning, and then turn it on like I usually do late afternoon until 10pm. That should keep the pipes warm enough. They are well lagged as well.
Well that didn't go well. I turned the heating on 8 am this morning, house warmed up as usual. Midday I went out for a few hours and when I got home at 3 there was no power on. Strange, I went to look in the garage, check the breakers, and there's water pouring out of the boiler.A frost stat alone is wrong, needs a pipe stat on the return to switch it back off at 30 degrees, or the boiler just fires, as you have discovered
