Brilliant. Doesn't it make your day, when a problem that had you tearing your
hair, is explained in simple and precise terms, by an expert. Bless you, and
thank you so much!
I had to play this half a dozen times in order to understand the process. Reading the comments, I'm glad to see it's not just me being thick.Why can't someone design a user friendly controller with actual buttons on it? All, does anyone know how to reset to the original programme, which might be a lot easier than faffing about with all these little steps?
Just got one almost impossible to use. Ridiculous how complex these things are. I literally want to just turn my heating on or off that’s it.
I do t give a fk about the date and time.
Absolutely agree! My biggest question is: Why is the program set to 21C??? Why I am having to look up videos how to change it down to 20C! I may just get something else because it's the most un-user friendly thing I have ever had installed.
I just had a new boiler and thermostat fitted. I was given an ‘indi tpistat wireless thermostat’ . If you think the Honeywell is hard to work out that that! I’ve spent a week struggling with it and called the plumbers for help. The guy who gave it to me came round and even he couldn’t work it out and replaced it with the Honeywell which is a doddle to use compared to the first one I had but I still don’t know why any of them need to be so difficult to work out. It shouldn’t be this difficult! @@chriszebra7806
Does anyone know how to just keep the heating on. Mine says 19 but the house is cold and my old one I would put on 19/20 for hours and it would stay on. This one doesn’t let me. I don’t want on 23 say as it will cost more then even still it cuts off shortly after. I just want my heating on till k switch it off. Can anyone help me please. I just want on say 19 There is no way my house is 19 now with it off it’s crazy
Oh, so agree, and so does my gas boiler chap. People are really struggling with these things apparently 😮
We had a simple manual one before but no longer available. aaaagh!
I’ve just had a new boiler fitted and it came with the T3R I knew I would’nt remember the plumbers demonstration so I had to find a video of it, Yours has been a big help, Thank you.
Thanks for clearing the cobwebs. I was completely bamboozled by the boiler chaps 1minute run through then just to read the instruction booklet. Your explanation/demo much appreciated-very helpful
I find this Honeyewell product the most un-user friendly one of all! I may just get something else. Thanks for your vid!
This is so helpful, thank you. Just had mine replaced, due to it being unable to read the temp correctly. The instructions are useless and, like others, the original fitter explained it all far too fast for me. Today's engineer said it's "Typical council buying from the lowest end of the market" - total false economy, as always, due to repair costs. I'm on my third one in six months!
Yeh this is my second one in six months also from council 😮
I have used this every autumn. You make it so simple , thank you
I'm so glad I found this video and read the comments, I told the electrician to stop right there and I will read the manual because all I heard was button button heat button button up button down button.
The manual was fkn useless. I'm 30 years old so I don't think it's our fault lol. The electrician was in a rush and that manual has no instructions just tells you what the buttons are.
I just figured out how to keep my heat on lol thank you
Our one is always at manual 22.5 temperature 24/7/365. Works well, can't be bothered with any other settings in it :)
This video has been a lifesaver! Thanks for taking the time to produce and share with us.
Good Video. Worth mentioning for those who have the problem where the Honeywell T3R keeps re-setting and offering the Setup Screen, Mark Ballard MTD has a good video posted 25/02/2023 that covers how to fix this. Basically, it's the spring loaded Battery Clips, that need gently prising outwards to make a better contact. This may need doing to both the visible connectors in the Battery Compartment, and also inside the unit, where the same Clips press against the Circuit Board to provide power. Those can also be set too low, so just need gently bending outwards, then re-assemble, and there should then be a good connection between Batteries and Clips, and between Clips and Circuit Board. That should stop the random Setup Screen problem. All that is happening is the connections are poor, so any movement or bump, and that breaks the flow of power, and the unit thinks it has just been turned on, so offers the Setup Screen.
Thanks as our thermostat does this starts flashing and the boiler comes on .
Mate, been battling for a day or 2 with mine till I watched your video and can't fault you!! Up and running after 1 watch!! Thanks fella!!!👍
The product specification for T3R says for the base unit
"Find a suitable location near the boiler.
Leave at least 30cm distance from any metal objects including wall boxes and boiler housing."
May I ask why the base unit has been fitted close the side the boiler in the video?
Thank you so much. My engineer looked at me like I had 2 heads when I asked him for a demo. I never usually have a programme setting programmers or reading manuals but this one is horrible. You saved my sanity!
Really helpful i couldn’t figure out why my boiler was coming on in the off period thank you!
Good video. It's important to mention the flame as if this doesn't show up, the heating won't turn on.. 02:14
Great I finally understand how to use mine it’s just been too hot at night I couldn’t figure out why! Thank you!!!
Thankyou so much best explanation on UA-cam you made it so easy to understand
You're very welcome, glad we could help!
I found it easy and clear and a very good point on off temperature to stop the boiler firing up when off . Thanks
Just set up my mother in laws one for her. Nice and easy to follow and thanks.
Let's see if i got this right: P1 and P3 is when you want it on, you set the temperature to 20°C for example. P2 and P4 is when you want it to turn off so you set it to 10°C for example. So in auto mode you can only set it to turn on 2 times a day?
Much appreciated for a decent demo on how to use this properly 👍👍
Thank you for explaining this in an easy to understand way. It’s really helped!
Don't usually have an issue with user manuals, however this one was utterly hopeless. Thanks for the info about the boiler coming on during off periods. That's the bit that confused me. It's not explained at all in the manual. Great vid 👍
This is a confusing device! Our fitter explained the P1, P2, P3, P4 settings - they are not on and off, they set the temperature you want at different times of day. If P1 is 20 from 7am, and P2 is 18 from 9am, the boiler will keep the place at 18 degrees from 9am - this is more efficient as when P3 at 5pm wants it to be 20 degrees it doesn't have to do as much work. He described it as being like a simmer rather than a boil.
Thanks, had one fitted this past 2 days ... couple of electricians from Gloucester gave me a 1 min demo. I remembered how to turn it off (first thing I asked) but not how to turn it on ...
Always ask a scouser 😂 Don't need it till Halloween
Thanks so much, this was very clear and helpful.
You explained that really well, thank you!!!🙏
Thanks mate. A lot more information than I got from the installer. Video saved for future reference. Cheers.
Great Video! Simple and precise - Keep up the good work!
Great explanation. Is there a way to set individual days instead of Monday to Friday?
nope
Brilliant. Game changer, I owe you a cuppa 👍🏻
Thanks for mentioning why the heating comes on, in an off period of Auto. I get this now (though unsure why it would do it, as you have only asked it to be on during timed sessions) and can rectify and stop waking up at 3am to a hot house. One more question; what is the point in having a temperature for P2 and P4? Surely, if they just stop it, it doesn't matter??
Great video and much needed! One question though ... how do we change the temperature on top reading from fahrenheit to celcius in manual mode, please? Cheers
Thanks Mark absolutely priceless ❤
Brilliant video. Thank you so much
Great video that was really useful. Thanks !!🤟
Thanks so much for this video Pete, really helpful! Have also been struggling with why rads are still on after ‘off’ time 😂
Does anyone know how to just add a 1 hour boost? Thanks.
He tells you in the video. Press the middle button once and if ‘auto’ is highlighted with the box around it press the middle button again and it jumps to manual. You then just use the up arrows to raise the temperature and the boiler will start and stay on for 1 hour.
Thank you for an easy to understand explanation.
You're welcome!
Thank you. Easy explanation
Thanks, Pete had no clue.👍
Thank you. Brilliant
Hi, great vid! Is there a corresponding phone app for this thermometer, so I could possibly control the heating via my phone?
This was so useful thank you so much
Helped me out today 👍🏼
Thanks for the video.
Really don't understand the temperature setting for P3 and P4 - does it actually do anything since they're the off periods!?
Nice one...got me sorted out 🙂
My T3R has 7 settings pro day, not just 4. Wished it had only 2.😮😮
How do I just put the heating on for an hour?
So good, thank you!
Really appreciate this. 😊
How to reconect it to boiler? Lost comunication
Thank you for sharing
My thermostat does have receiver my electrisoin fit the thermostat for he seems connected to to my boiler my boiler is brand new wailent 32 is possible not to have recover like you and conected to boiler my thermostat T3 honey well exactly like yours thanks for your help
thank god for you
can this stat be used for underfloor heating or would it be better to get a dedicated UFH stat/ controller?
Is it possible to change the schedule so that it is a 7 day program as my Dad doesn't want it to be any different at the weekend
Just copy the same set up as Monday through to Friday if your dad wants it to be the same temperatures at the weekend.
Hi I have a 2 separate Honeywell T3R thermostats one for downstairs and one for upstairs. Downstairs thermostat in auto mode does have 6 days periods and upstairs thermostat have only 4 days periods. Question is are they a different version thermostats? Is it any possibility to change in settings on my upstairs thermostat to have 6 days periods schedule instead off 4 days periods schedule?
Thank you for answer
Thankyou, great video. Can anyone help? The boiler is on, radiators hot and current temperature rising despite the target temperature being at 5 degrees - what should I do?
When batteries need replacing will i need to do any resetting?
I’ve done everything in this video, on the actual boiler do you need to keep the dial for the heating turned on can you leave on 0 and this will turn it on automatically?
Thank you very much for the information. My biggest question is when you set up the start time on the auto mode for heating how, long the heating timer last, it's 1 hour , 2 hour or etc. Thanks
Hi Faraz, if I am not wrong, you have to set your own timing, at your choice.
In other words, you have to input start time and end time. I think that for end time you have to set the temp very low, otherwise it stays on continuously.
This device is perverse.
@@valwas6581 Thanks for replying. You got my point but I didn't see the end time . I will look it again otherwise I will contact you soon. Thank for your help
From my memory of the manual, the default schedule is set at 21 degrees 6:30am to 8am. From 8am to I think 6pm its set to 18 degrees. From 6pm to 10:30pm its set to 21 degrees. And from 10:30pm to 6:30am its back to 18 degrees.
Just changed batteries... now im lost... thermostat was on permanent before (both lights on the box next to boiler as left by plumber on last visit)... unless thermostat is reprogrammed the heating wont come on..i have hot water though
I can't understand why the thermostat is not talking to the other part near the boiler. the lights are on but the timer is not responding. any thoughts - new boiler and new set up..
Thanks
My control is Honeywell Home so this is no good for me.Do you explain my one,thank you
My T3R suddenly goes blank and then asks me to reset the date and time. Seems very random but often after I try to set a new temperature. Sometimes I come down in the morning and it's flashing. Very annoying!
Mark Ballard MTD has a good video posted 25/02/2023 that covers how to fix this. Basically, it's the spring loaded Battery Clips, that need gently prising outwards to make a better contact. This may need doing to both the visible connectors in the Battery Compartment, and also inside the unit, where the same Clips press against the Circuit Board to provide power.

That should stop the random Setup Screen problem. All that is happening is the connections are poor, so any movement or bump, and that breaks the flow of power, and the unit thinks it has just been turned on, so offers the Setup Screen. I will also Post this as a Comment on this Video.
How do you turn off automatic heating
Put thermostat into manual mode or use the on/off button
My remote honeywell has a plain face with just a central button. How to use it??
I can't get p2 and p3 to allow me to Set times I only get dashes where the temp and time would be. can you advise me what to do
My Honeywell box won’t switch on. I’ve put new batteries in :/ not sure what to do 😢
Hello! Can you please tell me how can I do to change my thermostats starting temperature limit,I mean I want my thermostat to start after a -1 Celsius not instantly when is -0.5 Celsius.
Is it possible?
Sorry for my English.
this thermostat can you set it to turn off and on at a set time and how
Watched this a couple of time and programmed for morning and evening. Bloody thing is always on. What is the SET temperature you refer to @5:20 ?
Surely it is illogical for the boiler to come on outside of the times you have programmed it?
Smaffs59 I have the same problem. Total crap of engineering. I hv tried to set the off temp to 5c but it keeps re igniting
It is illogical, like the minds of the engineers behind many electronic devices
@@valwas6581 I think I figured it. You set the temp you want when you have the ON time and then when you set the OFF time you put a really low temperature. I was keeping them the same. I guess that gives you the opportunity to have a different temperature in the different ON times.
@@Smaffs59 I have done it ten times, but it doesn t work. Grrrr!!! Let me know if it works for you, thanks.
@@valwas6581 It definitely works for me. For 1 and 3 I have the temperature set to 18 degrees and for 2 and 4 I set it to 5 degrees. Comes on when it should and goes off. In my case it would only come on in between now if the room temperature went below 5 degrees.
I've got it at the new home. I've been thinking, that some big devices, tools can be hard to operate, but this little crap was designed by person, who doesn't know, what ergonomy means. Why there is no arrows in four directions and OK button...
I've never had to operate something, what should be simple as hell, but is the shit as hell!
I have always used mine on manual, where you see the temperature of the room and the temperature above it , which is the set temperature but all of a suden the device , still on manual , is showing the temperature of the room and now it has the time above it, Ive read instructions but cannot get it back to showing the temperature its set at, can anyone help?
Have you pressed the + buttons?
Mine is unresponsive since the kitchen fitter moved the receiver unit. The boiler now has 2 modes -
1 Heating fully on
2 No heat, but a ready supply of hot water
Not sure if this helps but I asked the plumber what to do in this situation. He said to resync the device with the receiver, take out the batteries from the thermostat and replace them. It should auto connect back with the receiver.
Hopefully its as simple as that 🤞🏻. I can't fully remember but does this model have a compatible app?
I felt like smashing the fucking thing against the wall till I watched this
I'm not sure if my thermostat is calibrated correctly in reading room temperature. I was holding it to adjust the schedule for a few minutes and it raised by 2 degrees? Is that normal? I know the sensor is inside the device but it seems to remain at 21 degrees a lot.
If you hold on to it too long the temp will go up.
Can you set it for just an hour or two?
Hi, I’ve just moved into a house and put the heating on 20 manual, then I turned the target temp down to 18 and went to bed. I woke up and the radiators are still warm, not sure the heating turned off, any ideas anyone? Thanks
How do you change the battery
Hi all, could someone tell me how to return to the normal display screen once that I have done all the programming, etc. Thanks.
Thanks… how do I just put the heating on for 30 minutes to an hour?? On manual?
The easiest way to that would be to just use manual mode & turn up & down to the desired temperatures
@@peterbonnesen9448
I've tried that but I can't get the gas flame light to come on
Far too complicated for most people to understand.... !!
The speaker neglected to point out that is P2 and P4 are HEATING OFF times - if you hadn’t already sussed that out!! But I have to say the user interface is about as user-friendly as a cornered rat!
Still non the wiser
Intalled this at my dad's place, now he wants to murder me :D Anyway, i don't know if i got a bad unit or something, but just picking it up shoots the temp by 2 degrees almost instantly and then it takes it almost 20 minutes to get down. It is also firing up the boiler for like 3 minutes, then it stops. The little flame is indicating the boiler is supposed to be on but the wireless receiver says it's not. Oftentimes it turns on then turns off, then tries to turn on again but too bad the boiler has a timer to avoid those kinds of things. It's working very very weirdly, would not recoomend.
Me too
Too fast for me, a little slower please.
I understand anything 🥺
So silly that there’s not just an option to put it an for an hour without having to set four programmes
Sorry mate, take no offence. Video unclear and confusing, with partial explanation. The silly music and the acoustic do not help.
How do you change to Fahrenheit?
@@Kyranoboss Hi, i did it once by chance, but now I haven't got a club. I assume you must ho into settings, that is the wheel near the menu, but I don t know how to do that either. I am waiting for the plummer to show me all functions. This devicev is crappy perverse. Grrr!
This device is perverse.
This has to be the worrrrst video+worst device
Our honeywell reciever flashing red how do we reconnect it.
