Heatmiser heating controls

[JRJ]

Does anybody have any experience with Heat miser?

I've just installed a wet underfloor system consisting of 10 loops in 6 zones, I will also have 10 radiators upstairs.
I was pretty set on the Honeywell EVO home with smart TRV's upstairs and a traditional flow and return loop for the rads, I want to be able to control rooms that get little use and limit the heating without manually adjusting TRV'S.

My underfloor heating supplier is a Heatmiser distributor and I'm being swayed towards a manifold system upstairs with wall mounted stats in each room, I have the space for a manifold and have open studs so wiring the stats is simple, cost wise the systems are similar.

Just looking for anyone with experience? I had done loads of research on the honeywell but I'm running out of time with 1st fix due to start next week.

I've just used done similar in our house, got a 10 way manifold running the radiators with the Slimline stats in each room.
Went with a UH8 - RF controller for the ensuite, bathroom, downstairs WC and 2 rooms close to the controller, plus a UH8 240v controller for the rest.

We're running a 600L thermal store so needed a blending valve anyway and the separate time controls for each room mean we can use the store more efficiently when there is no heat input.

We've not got the solar thermal or log burner installed yet so we rely on an electric boiler to heat the store on E7 at the moment.

@Danm54 cheers how did you find the setup?

Currently looking at a UH8 upstairs for rads and a separate UH8 downstairs for UFH with neo stats in each room hard wired and a neo ultra in the hall as a master controller plus the neo hub for smart controls

Nice and easy setup, using the underfloor manifold and UH controllers it's just a case of wiring the actuators and stats to the correct zones.
Fair few wires but there's nothing to it really.

We don't have a master controller, just individual programmable stats in each room, each one can call for heat when it needs it.
Could have went for smart stats in select rooms but they're pricey and I think that once a programmable stat is set correctly you shouldn't have to change it really.

Awesome think I'm pretty much sold, much prefer the wall stats to the Honeywell smart TRV's, two quick questions what do you control your hot water with do you just have it on demand? The Honeywell had a add on module for HW which allowed you to override and control via the master control, looks like the Heatmiser has a separate control status.

What size back boxes did you use ?

We have a thermal store with a hot water coil so the top 1/3 of the store is for that, it's there whenever we need it even if the heating has used the heat out the bottom of it.

The slimline RF stats also have an option for a hot water timer as well although we obviously don't use it. The UF8-RF has a connection for a hot water zone valve so it looks like you can also use these to control a separate cylinder.

The slimline stats need a minimum 35mm back box, I'd assume that's the same for all their stats but I'd double check for a different model.
