Help with controlling water/ heating controls

[leem5]

So I'm currently having issues with controlling the room temperatures in my house, it's over three floors and it seems that the controller next the the boiler (middle floor) controls the house water and heating for the lower floor. And the controller on the lower floor controls the heating for the middle and top floors, with the thermostat also being on the lower floor.

So heating up the lower floor to desired temperature has the knock on effect of not allowing the upper two floors to be heated. Though I cannot find any zone valves or form of manifold to allow this? the only way I can get heating on all floors at the same time is to manually increase the temperature on the lower controller.

Controller on lower floor



Thermostat (lower floor)



Any help greatly appreciated.

Had something similar at our last place. Thermostat downstairs controlled ground floor plus the hall, stairs and landing for the ground, first and second floors. A second thermostat on the first floor landing controlled the remainder.

We swapped the thermostat out for a wireless version and then moved it into the coldest occupied bedroom. It was a Honeywell model IIRC.

Right, good to know I'm not the only one with this issue.

So it seems after talking to a neighbour that my house is wired differently to there's (same design/ layout home).

So I'm assuming changing the wiring is not an option without tracing through the walls, this won't be done as the house was only decorated earlier this year.

Will going wireless help in this situation, with something like this kit?

I have heatmiser kit in this place. I was actually thinking of something like this though

Is there an airing cupboard?

I'm assuming that there have to be some valves somewhere if there are two heating circuits. Maybe the boiler and pump are just running off the microswitch for the main controller or the microswitch in the secondary controls has failed open? So the valve opens but doesn't turn on the heating.
