About this deal

The programmer is fitted with a non-rechargeable, long life battery, which will maintain the programmed time settings for a minimum of ten months with the supply disconnected. For instance, I *hope* the cabling to each thermostat allows for me to install the NEST power supply (supplies?) in the hot tank cupboard (where the timer currently lives) and power each thermostat (remotely) that way. The installer will have set the programmer to suit the installed system. If this is a Fully pumped system this will allow independent control of the Central heating and Hot water, however on a Gravity system the Central heating and Hot water are linked so that it is not possible to use the Central heating independently. This will allow only one common time setting for both Hot Water and Central Heating. BATTERY

During power interruptions the display will be blank, after 3 days the current time of day will be lost. If the programmer is not to be used for a long period of time, the switch on the rear of the unit should be returned to the BATTERY OFF position. These are both to prolong the battery life. SERVICE AND REPAIR On Sunday morning I was looking forward to a lazy few hours in my PJs. The plan called for a hearty breakfast, freshly ground coffee, some light reading and a hot shower before deciding what to do for the reminder of the day. Regrettably, the unexpectedly cold water from the showerhead put an end to an otherwise agreeable time. The Secure Meters Horstmann CHANNELPLUS H27XL is a white 2 channel 7 day electronic digital programmer with independent timing of heating and hot water.. User friendly, it is designed for domestic use, providing advanced, easily programmed features.I can get a screwdriver between the wall box and the stand-off but there's no way they are going to separate without my breaking one of them. I also don't really understand how each of the two-way valves operate - whether the timer "job shares" between the two zones and whether two NEST thermostats can replace that functionality. Or if each thermostat demands heat and the timer is on for each zone, both valves just open and they get served with hot water equally. What I really want to do is to install a NEST in place of the two thermostats, and a single timer for the water but I don't yet understand what wiring my system employs and how I might convert that for NEST. If a Heating or Hot water period is not required it can be cancelled by setting the ON and OFF settings to the same time. Example ON 10:00am OFF 10:00am Furthermore, the H21XL thermostat has a built-in frost protection function, which prevents pipes from freezing during cold weather. This feature is particularly useful for homeowners who often leave their houses unoccupied for extended periods.

The thermostat is crafted using high-quality materials, ensuring its reliability and durability over time. It is designed to withstand everyday wear and tear, providing long-lasting performance. The H21XL thermostat features a clear display screen that shows the current temperature and settings, making it easy for users to monitor and make adjustments. It also offers programmable scheduling options, allowing users to set different temperature levels for different times of the day, ensuring optimal heating efficiency. On the ChannelPlus display - Boost 1 is Hot water extension 1 or 2 hour and Boost 2 is Heating extension 1 or 2 hours ADVANCE FUNCTIONThe Horstmann ChannelPlus H21XL thermostat is a home heating control device that allows users to easily manage their heating system. It is designed to be intuitive and user-friendly, providing a convenient way to regulate room temperatures.

I can’t say whether this is deliberate obsolescence by design but it doesn’t look good. The battery is always going to run out at some point and it’s poor that it’s not user-replaceable, especially in this era of trying to reduce e-waste. All I can say for sure is that I won’t be buying any Horstmann products in the future. I am wondering if the stand-off comes away from the main unit. I can pull the main unit away from the stand-off enough to get a screwdriver into the gap but it's not coming away consistently - only where I exert pressure so much that the plastic deforms.

The switch on the rear of the unit must be in either the Fully Pumped or Gravity position.
