I've got a mechnical central heating timer on my bolier much like the one in the link below, is it possible and simple to change this over for a digital timer? Possibly sounding a little stupid, they all look to be different sizes (physically) to the one thats in there at present!

Tick...this is exactly what I was thinking about earlier.

Any recommendations for one that allows different temperatures to be set for different periods of the day?

Edit: mine is a remote unit on the wall, I guess thats different to a boiler front version and therefore I'm guilty of hijacking this thread!

Cheers for the replies, it is indeed off the front of the boiler unit. Will go investigate tomorrow!

Good luck finding what you need spooky, hijack away!

easiest way is to put it on continuous, and move all the tappits out. Then wire a wireless programmable room thermostat across the room stat terminals in the back of the boiler.

I love mechanical clocks. More boilers should come with them
