Hi Mike - I'm sure you're right, it is all possible, but best done at the point of installation, think it could prove very tricky/expensive as a modification, but I haven't seen all combie set-ups, so maybe some are more straightforward than others -

Hi Andy,
I read Davids email. In theory, the timer could be used to control the 3 way 
valve; Hottank option sending power to the boiler and open valve to send
water to taps. Radiators, open valve to radiators and power boiler and then 
both to open valve to water and radiators and power to the boiler.

That is in theory, how it is wired is another question. If the valve is
separate, or the wiring is accessible, then it should be possible. (with a
electrician's guidance, of course!)

Kindest,

Mike

Hi Mike, Eleanor like me, has a combi boiler, so can't see this working.
Combies don't have hot water tanks, the water is heated as it passes over a 
coil in the boiler. You probably know this stuff. This means of course,
everything is all in one with the boiler, including the clocc timer.

Hi,

I am going to throw a spanner in the works!!

I use a Q E D (Manufacturer name) digital timer, with two buttons on the
front. The left is for central heating (radiators) and the right button is for hot water (hottank). Both switches work through the following options: 

Timer
Boost (for 1 hour)
Advance (until the next on/off timed setting)
Constant
Off


Pressing the central heating button brings on both options, as it is
logical
that the hottank will require heating in order to heat the radiators.
There
is a relay inside the timer, so the "Click" is quite audible, as it
switches
on/off.
There is settings for 24 hour and 7 day options. Sighted assistance is
needed for initial setup. Once setup, there is a BST button to remove your 
difficulties Eleanor.

If interested, I can get the model number.

Oh, yes, it has a built in battery to keep settings in case of power
failure.

Very pleased with it.

Regards,

Mike

Following this thread I have a gas boiler and someone set the time on it
for
me but when the clock changes I am then one hour out. Now I am interested in the Braille timer but do not know how that would fit in with my system. 
How is it connected to it?

works
very well.

Hi. No it isn't. The timer being talked about is purchased as a timer and 
thermostat in its own right. See below.

Subject: [access-uk] Talking central heating controler
This is for Jackie's benefit. It is not a talking device but it may well 
fit the bill.

Danfoss 4033 24-Hour Mechanical Programmer TIMED/OFF/ON (Constant) for
heating and same for domestic hot water.
Off and On override.
this switch is available from danfoss randall ltd of bedford.
they do a braille version which is very accessible. it has 2 switches,
one switch for hot water, the other for the heating system. they are
clearly brailled, one with h for heating, the other w for water. each
switch
has 3 positions, off, on and timed.
there is a rotary dial with dots around it, a little like a braille
watch.
there is a reference dot so you can use the rotary dial to enable you to
set
the 24 hour clock. there are 4 colour coded tappets, 2 red 2 blue, one
set for each function, namely heating and water. simply slide the
tappets to the desired on/off times. the tappets are also marked with
tactile markings, a series of different numbers of dots.I think you may
have to specifically request a braille version of the timer.  this
switch is very well designed for a blind person to use.
I would suggest giving this company a ring before purchasing, and asking
them if it will work with your particular heating system. They have a
wide range on offer, and do not forget to ask them if they can supply a
Braille version if this is required. Details as follows.

The simple answer is no as the timer that is being talked about is
installed on to a boiler system.

Hi all.
Would this work for electric storage heaters that run on economy 7?
Many thanks.
Take care.

Hi, yes there is. It's a braille one, not a talking one. You won't be
spolt for choice. I should think, if this one's still available it's
going to be the only option. I got mine a few years ago, following a
thread on here. I no longer have the email, but you can look it up in
the archive. Just put in central heating in as a search term and look
through the posts. The link to the archive is
