Recommend me a better thermostat - it’s cold!
Discussion
I have a fairly new build house (6 years) with a Honeywell thermostat, something like this:
However, it is pretty limiting. Last night it got cold and I would have liked it to just keep the temperature at around 15 degrees. However, if it set that prior to going to bed, then when we wake up at 06:00 it would stay at 15 degrees and not the 20 degrees i want.
I have researched programmable thermostats on the internet and see Hive/Nest items, but these look like they are kitted up for turning heating on/off up/down using a mobile phone. I dont need/want this functionality.
What should i be searching for?
Sorry for the basic question....

Thanks Kermit Power - I need flexibility - my boiler has a complex control panel and I can differentiate by the minute as well as week days and weekends. But what it is lacking is the signal from the thermostat.
I need somthing that I can programme. Come on at 06:00 at 20 degrees, unless its the weekend, then come on at 07:30 at 22 degrees, BUT come on at 15 degrees in the room temp falls below 15 degrees.
Almost like an old binary system. Something must be able to do this nowadays....
I dont like the control from phone - i would never use it.

I have a redundant Honeywell CM67 (I think) which I used as a programmable thermostat and just left my boiler on heat 24/7, and programmed all the on/off times on the CM67.
I think it should be an easy swap with what you have (probably two wires in your existing thermostat).
As I have just gone over to Hive I no longer need it so you can have it for free if you like.
Thanks wilksy61. If you ahev got this spare i would glady take this off your hands. Let me know what I owe you or am happy to pay for P&P.I think it should be an easy swap with what you have (probably two wires in your existing thermostat).

It will be worth trying as we control everything from the boiler itself at the moment. Its got a good range of features, but just doesnt quite do what i want it to do.
This will be really helpful and I can experiment. If it all works i can invest in something more expensive at a later date, like Tado, Hive, nest etc.
I will PM you now wilksy61
A HUGE thanks to Wilksy61 for sending me his redundant Honeywell CM907 stat. Just a case of installing this now......
