Wireless Room Stat

[Old Son]

Does anybody know any reason why I can't or shouldn't connect one of these wireless rooms stats to my Eberspacher Hydronic 10 diesel heater?

Don't know about the boiler, but if you've got a steel bulkhead between the transmitter and receiver you could have some reception problems. £47 would pay for a standard bi-metalic strip thermostat (less to go wrong), a long length of cable and significant amounts of beer.

Hi. Eberspachers don't take too well to thermostats,the constant cycling tends to coke them up quickly. Would be ok if you could couple in a timer to give minimum run time of one hour each time the stat calls for heat, though that would really defeat the object of the thermostat. The use of the Eberspacher mini timer will give the unit the best chance of survival.

Never used this particular make, but I fairly sure that you will find you need 230V for the receiver, will that be a problem to you?

I can find 240V but I understand the comments and I think it would be best to give it a miss. I dont want the boiler coking up. Thanks for all your replies.

Not only that, but it has its own thermostat
