Right my good friends, just after some advice (or rather direction).
I have a programmable room thermostat which for all intent and purpose is buggered. I've purposely been holding off getting a new one until I replaced my boiler, however that doesn't seem to be anytime soon.
That said, missus is whining now because 'i am in control' and the only one that knows through some 'jiggery pokery' and well...a small screwdriver, to over-ride the programmed events.
So, I've been looking at replacing for the time being with a semi-cheap wifi/programmable stat (something I can use with my (her) phone until I do get something like the Nest/Honeywell ones etc).
Something like this, but not this specifically, to show as an example: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B074RHN3JD/?tag=amazonmick223-21
Thing is my current stat is battery powered and only has two wires, I'm not convinced these are actually live per se (perm) but rather just switched as the run back up to another switch on the boiler. I've no issue if I need to run in a perm live (as I can take this from behind the wall on the other side), but can someone give me some ideas here.
Thanks
