I have had a quote for installation of a Vaillant ecoFIT pure 435 boiler to replace an aged (now unreliable) Potterton system.
The existing system includes a Honewell Thermostat in the hall and a Drayton LP722 Controller by the boiler - personally I have been happy with this combination but the installer has recommended a Hive 2 Active programmable thermostat. I can see some advantage with this in that I can position the Thermostat in any room. However . . . I gather that Vaillant have their own thermostat and controller, the Vaillant Vsmart.
Does anyone have any experience of both systems or of the Vaillant Vsmart?
I have read suggestions that the Vsmart stores data on some remote server and if the Internet goes down it reverts to a VERY basic program - is this for real? Why does the data have to be stored off-site?
