Any reasonably priced alternative to lightwaverf equipment.

lolliedog

Just looking for alternatives to lightwaverf equipment. Some of the stuff is expensive and soon adds up.

Thoughts...

It's about the cheapest you'll get.

What are you looking to do?

Some of it is good value

The three pack of sockets and remote 33 pounds
The three pack of sockets dimming units 43 pounds

The three way 3000W relay at 45 pounds will confirm three different circuits on off control

Mainly for remote heating control. Rang them yesterday and price controls for two houses. The second house was for a basic system. The price was in excess of £650 sterling.

Has lightwaverf bidirectional comms to the controller? I'm using some old homeeasy rf controlled sockets on my central heating. Looking at lightwave, but if its the same, the controller doesn't know the current status. Also, the lightwaverf app doesn't seem to get great reviews on the play store. I see there's a third party one and it fares better. What is the OP hoping to use as controller?

The controller knows the temperature at every TRV. Every TRV has a set of schedules in the app. See the pictures I put in the main lightwaverfs thread.

You could have just one TRV paired to the hub, and no boiler or thermostat and you could use and control that TRV. Obviously you couldn't control the boilers operation but when the boiler was on you could control the temp that the TRV opened and closed at

So as far as I'm concerned and from what I've observed. I could take out the boiler switch and thermostat and put in a nest. The TRV wouldn't know the difference.

Stoner

And yes TRVs do communicate both ways as does the thermostat. Both are units that have slave devices, the door contact only pairs with a TRV and the boiler switch only pairs with a wireless thermostat

Thanks, missed that thread somehow!
