    I can't remember what it's called because I set mine up several years ago. But it's hiding in there somewhere! It's the "normal" setup for S-plan - BDRs connected to the CH valve and the DHW valve...

    This is incorrect. You shouldn't have a BDR configured as boiler control unless it is DIRECTLY connected to the boiler. Your boiler is controlled by the switches in the zone valves. In this case,...

    The biggest challenge is actually knowing that they need replacing! Unless you happen to glance at the controller screen, or the HR92 display, you have no way of knowing. It would be nice if...

    That's not strictly true. Before I upgraded to OpenTherm, I had one BDR on my hot water cylinder, and one controlling my boiler. There is no central heating valve on my system, so the installer used...

    If you don't have a BDR controlling the boiler, you probably shouldn't bind a BDR in the boiler control section! :)

    It sounds like your hot water BDR is double-bound. Did you clear the bindings from all devices (BDRs, CS92, HR92s) when you reinstalled?

    In reverse order:

    3) Yes. In fact, this is Honeywell's preferred setup. If you have HR92 TRVs on all radiators, you don't need zone valves. What would they add?

    So how much will you charge to alter people's HR92s for them, Clive? I have three that would benefit from improved reception!

    Also, I assume this works both ways - i.e. just improving reception...

    The problem with this approach is it will only turn the boiler on for a short while until the controller turns it off again.

    I'm no expert on pumps, but it looks like you have two pumps in series there (the main circulator and the UFH), and that's going to give you problems.

    You are correct that the cycle rate (and minimum on time, etc.) are for controlling the boiler via a BDR.
