Hi everyone,

I have a Climote and it's time to get back online with a replacement system. Looking for some guidance on what the best option is.

This is my current setup:

• Climote control unit
• 3 zone control (upstairs, downstairs & hot water)
• Wired Thermostats - 1 upstairs, 1 downstairs (old style circular dial type)

Looking for something that won't break the bank but want the app control etc. and hopefully something I can replace myself.

Apologies if there has been a solution already post previously but am new to all this and appreciate any help. Thanks.

A Drayton Wiser kit 3 will be a wire in replacement for your Climote unit. The wall stats are wireless, no wiring. The old stats are either turned up full, or removed and their two wires joined and concealed in the wall. The Wiser kit 3 is available for a bargain here.

For a few more €, you can have the Tado V.3 system , one wireless stat to receiver, wired into place of the Climote, which will control one CH zone and HW, plus one wired CH stat which will be connected in place of the one of the old rotary mechanical stats. The other rotary stat which is being replaced by the wireless stat can be left and turned up full, or else removed and it's wire pair connected together and concealed in the wall.

Thanks again @deezell ..

Have ordered the Drayton Wiser Kit 3. Sounds like it's a simple enough swap over from the Climote.

Regarding the 2 existing stats, I just need to turn both up to max and then locate the 2 new wireless stats wherever i need them and then they will then 'override' the pre-existing stats.

Sounds straight forward.

Thanks again for your help and clarity.

Yes, you can position the wireless stat optimally. The existing stats must be turned up full to close the circuit from the Drayton receiver CH Switched lives to the zone valves.
