Remote Immersion Switch

Irish Gunner

Heating is only one zone and rather than the old chestnut of leaving the immersion on to just heat the water is there a remote immersion switch or some timer available?

Had a quick Google and old thread on boards but thought I'd post here,asking.

Thanks
Contacted Heatmiser and they came back with the below:
[font=Arial","sans-serif]we do not sell anything with a high enough rated relay to switch an immersion heater directly therefore you will need a 20A contactor to take the load[/font]
[font=Arial","sans-serif]Any other options?[/font]

Most switches will need a contactor. There fairly easy to fit.

Works a treat, you will need a zwave hub to remotely control it - many choices for hubs out there from DIY to Samsung Smartthings etc
