Instruction manual was useless to try and set mine up. This made it so easy, thank you!
Just about to attempt to set mine... Wish me luck!
@@lyndachabane1931 honestly, going by this video, you can't really go wrong 😁
Had one fitted yesterday. Looked through Manual and I'm clueless. Good job for this video. So much more complicated than my old one.
I was worried that I wouldn't find any information on this here, but sir, are a life saver! Made it very easy to understand!
Really dreadful that companies are fitting these extremely complicated gadgets by default. Educated people cannot understand how to use them, so how do we expect the elderly to keep warm when fitting something like this? Video is much better than the manual but nobody explains what the separate M and the M/A buttons do adjacent to the boiler. I want my old, easy-to-use boiler back!
In addition to what you have said...the smaller buttons and slider are difficult to manipulate when you are older and have thicker fingers with less dexterity of movement. Please, please...can the designers and manufacturers start taking account of this for their older and/ or partially disabled customers customers.
That's brilliant! Thank you! I've moved into rented accommodation where I have this controller but no manual. Have been using it on manual for several weeks, slightly daunted at the idea of trying to work it out, but then had the idea to look on TH-cam. yay!
so glad we could help!
Just had one of these fitted, thank you, very good, clear, simple advice.
Thanks Paul - Glad you found it helpful.
Clear & precise, really helpful thank you.
The best explanation I’ve heard/seen for a novice such as myself to understand this step by step guide good & clearly shown with excellent diction thank you
Thanks so much for this simple to understand video.
Thank you so much! Just had this installed and didn’t understand really what was explained…. Now I do 😂 🙏🏻
Much better than the manual! Thank you
Very good clear instructions Thank you. Very helpful
This video enabled me to confidently set up my new unit. Thank you.
So helpful, thank you! Our boiler man took the manual with him by accident so figuring it out has been fun 😂
Definitely not what you need 😅
U can find the guide online but it’s confusing. This is much simpler
@@mhiodyssey2458 video > manual
Brilliant calm slow clear instructions. Thank you very much ❤
Very useful video for a very easy to use device. Well done.
Just as an added note. If you overlay 2 times the unit won't activate. I.e.
06:00 on 22'C
22:00 off 16'C
22:00 on 16'C
06:00 off 16'C
You must separate the times.
Hey Michael, thanks for making this clear for people dealing with the same issue 🙌
this video is better than the manual
Thanks so much for this feedback 🙌
Thank you for this video. It was so helpful
Thank you for taking the time to make & upload this video, very helpful👍
Glad we could help!
Perfect, we'll explained 👍
Excellent instructions, easy to understood, thank you so much!
Thank you for this. Very easy to understand and follow🎉
Brilliant video, short but precise!
Hope it could help!
An excellent instructional video with a clear voice. Thank you.
Very well explained, straight to the point. Unlike other videos talking nonsense and wasting time. Andrew tate style.
That's what we aim to do! Don't forget to subscribe for more no none nonsense talking.
Cheers, nicely explained
Thanks for the feedback Chris
Thankyou for the clear instructions.
Thank you...really simple video..help me a lot.
Thank you, very helpful as a quick but detailed guide
Glad we could help.
Great video, very clear, thank you
So much better than the manual and boiler man!
Thanks Sukki we're flattered!
Thank you. Much appreciated
Glad we could help Tom!
Very helpful thank-you
great video very clear. thank you
Great i looked at manual and tried it and didn't work and frustrated as quite complicated. Watching this now i understand something that seemed complictaed before watching this thankyou😊
Hey Carol, glad we could help!
Amazing video, thanks
Brilliant, thank you!
Thanks so much for posting this video. Even as a tech-savy, person I really struggled to use this thermostat as the instruction manual is terrible. It doesn't help that the buttons and slider are poorly designed for anyone with wide fingers.
Essentially, all I want is for a constant temperature of 23 degrees to be maintained between two separate four hour periods in a day -- i.e., from 5:00am till 900am, and between 17:00 till 21:00 at night. Outside of those two four-hour periods, I don't need the heating on. How would I go about setting this using the P1,P2,P3,P4 settings? Thanks in advance for your help!
Hi, the best way to do this would be set a P5 and P6 time at the same times, so that it goes 'ON' and 'OFF' at the same time.
@@Heatable Thanks for your reply!. At the moment, I am still tentatively using the mannual setting on 23 degrees, and then just turn it down to 5 degrees after four hours. In the video around the 6:50 mark you briefly mentioned that using manual mode all the time isn't the most cost effective way of running it. Could you please explain why? I find manual mode much easier to use and would like to know if using the programming cycles is more energy efficient.Thanks
I have this at home, I want to operate this from my phone. I downloaded the app but it does not show this model. Any suggestions?
Hi,
I hope you can help me, my set temperature is 18 degrees, and the house temp is 17.5, but the boiler is not kicking in. Also, it doesnt stop on the exact set temperature but works for extea few degrees till it stops. It works perfectly with the timer and kicks in on all set times. Do you know what causes that ?
Thank You for your help 👍👍
Far easier to follow than the instructions! Hopefully my new boiler won't come on at 3am tonight!
wishing you luck 😅
Mine did. I wouldn't have known if I hadn't got up to go to the toilet.
Thank you that help a lot
Thank you for your reply. Also if you wanted to switch it on manually for a day that was chilly. Do you just switch the switch back to auto or manual and press the red button?
If it's just for one day then you'd be best putting it into manual mode when you wanted it on, as AUTO mode would set the thermostat to bring up your scheduled on and off times.
Thank You
So say you do the auto and p1 comes on how long does the heating stay on just till it hits the room temp you have set of does it stay on till next p2
We purchased our house with these thermostats installed and i am looking getting rid of them. For instance it is in Manual mode and i have set room temperature 19c so it drops down to 18.5c the heating is not kicking in although it is set to kick in at 19.
So i have to adjust to 19.5 to start the heating.
Or another example. Heating is on and is set to go off at 19. But it doesnt stop until it reaches 19.5.
Its utter rubbish.
I so agree with you. Rubbish indeed! Hive is better!
Can I just take the batteries out and use the control knob on the actual boiler to turn it on and off?
This is what we want to do!
Is there any way that it turns on when i need the heating and when i turn the tap on like manually when i need it ???
IS IT ONLY FOR RADIATORS OR ALSO FOR HOT WATER ?
just had one installed and there's one function mentioned in the user manual that I can't figure out how to use - 'Optimum Start' and 'Optimum Stop' - any ideas?
Thanks for that, just a quick question - is the boiler basically always on in Auto mode after programming? I thought P1 was "on" and P2 was "off"?
Typically you can use P1 P2 P3 etc to decide on what temperature you'd like your home at what times. This doesn't always mean on and off as you could decide on times in the day where it stayed at the same temperature for P2 - P4.
Can you tell me when it comes to summer do you just turn it off to not come on?
Hi Denise, yes if you don't wish to have the heating on over the summer months you can simply switch it to the 'OFF' position to turn off any schedules you have.
I’m still confused 😢 does this mean if I set it on the P1, P2, P3 & P4 functions it will only turn it on at the times set and won’t turn on at any other time? If I want it to just switch on at maybe say 20:30 in the night only do I set all P1 to P4 programs or just one ? Please help
What about setting P5 and P6
Hi I've got one of these units and I'm trying to get it to keep it at a certain temp .and so the the heating clicks in quicker but doesn't run for long .can anyone help please .many thanks
Just moved into a property with this system, let's see how it goes Mow I seen ya vid. Can it be set to come different for alternative weeks as I work shifts mornings and afternoons
Hey, thanks for your comment. The only options you can use with this thermostat are a 5/2 day split, 7 day or 24 hours. Your best bet is changing it each week on the 7 day setting if you really want it set on a schedule.
I've read on the manual that the set back temperature should be set to 16 ºC in case I want the heating off. But I can't find how to set this? Does this just mean to manually press the - button until it's at 16 ºC?
The setback temperature (used in Auto mode) is the P2 and the P4 setting. Setback simply means that rather than turning the heating off while out or asleep, maintain instead a lower (setback) temperature, in order to keep the house structure warm. Typically, used in older, poorly insulated houses (such as mine) to keep the house structure from getting too cold during those periods.That way, when the heating turns to the higher setting (the P1 and the P3 settings), heat is used to heat the room and you, not the walls, which have been kept warm by the setback temperature. I use this in my 100+ year old house and it keeps me more comfortable.
If you don't want or need to use this feature, just set the setback temperature (the P2 and the P4 settings) to a lower figure, so that the heating does not need to come on.
If you decide to go to bed early, and therefore do not need to keep heating at your higher temperature, this is when (in Auto mode) you press the - button to set the temperature to a lower one. The programmer will use that manual setting until the next programmed setting, when it will revert to Auto mode. Similarly, if you arrive home early, simply tap the + button to your required higher temperature and the system uses that setting until the next programmed event.
Setback is not used in manual mode (when the slide switch is in MAN mode) since you always set the temperature. You could of course set it manually to 16 degrees.
If you want to turn the heating off (fully off, for the summer), set the slide switch under the cover to OFF. My understanding of the instructions is that by default, this sets the system to FROST setting, which would only turn the heating on if the temperature drops to the pre-set frost temperature.
@@choir74 This is really help information. I recently purchased a boiler that requires the use of this thermostat and couldn't for the life of me figure any of this out. Thanks for posting a detailed comment about the settings. I also wondered, if I leave the thermostat set to mannual setting, and turn the temperature down to five degrees, is this essentially as good as switching the boiler off?
Hi , how to reset it everything??
Got my heating constantly on now . Can’t figure out why
What programme is your heating set to? The reset button is the tiny one under the cover, on the far right.
I work different shift times so pointless me setting weekly. I have tried setting a 24hr program but I only want to do 1 program but when I input p1 it asks for p2, p3, p4 then it stays on p4 for some reason
I want mine to come on at 11.00 am and off at 11.30 pm, 7 days a week, so having pogrammed P1 and P2 to these times and pressed A to accept (Mon though Sun), when I move the slider to 'Auto'', it reverts to the factory set 5/2 settings. I'm at a loss.
You're at a loss? I moved into a house with one of these awful things. 😢 As a former Hive user which was super easy to use, I find this plastic contraption too fiddly! 😢
It says in the manual about 6 events for the pre set temps 5/2 days. How do I get 6 events up as I can’t work it out? I’d like it to come on 6am to 8am, 3pm to 5pm and 7pm to 10pm for example. Thanks.
I also can't work this out😂x
@@abbiehunstone8141 I found this video. It’s so complicated for such a simple thing but this worked for me. th-cam.com/video/pRDL6GEQLJ0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=hptcwqYYeQ0GHiXJ
Hi, I have changed the batteries in my ESi ESRTP4RF+ and the screen is blank. How do I pair it?
Hi John, is your thermostat new out of the box?
Is it boiler plus compliant
This control only seems to allow 4 events (P1, 2, 3 and 4) when manually programming. That can not be right as I need it to come on and off more times than that as i am retired!!! What am I doing wrong as I do not want if i can only programme 4 events?
There should be 6 events that you can programme so this would give you 6 different time changes / settings a day. If yours isn't showing this we'd recommend getting in touch with the manufacturer with any questions tech@esicontrols.co.uk.
What does it mean when it says H1 where the room temp is on the thermostat?
Not sure if I'm doing something wrong . I have set it up on all 4 programs and no2 I set for 10 during the day and it keeps returning to 13 ? Help
Is there away to integrate this with Alexa or an app? Even if it means buying extra hardware?
Some of the other ESi controls including their 6 series can be upgraded to a smart thermostat by purchasing the additional ESi Controls WiFi hub - they don't advertise this as an option for the 4 series though.
I’m setting P1 to come on at 6am. P4 is set for 10pm at a low temp, but P1 comes on before 6am? I can’t work out what I’m doing wrong?
It's hard to say what's going wrong without seeing your full settings, what are P2 and P3 set to? This might be worth speaking to EPH about - 01280 816868.
How do you set the heating up? We are struggling to set manually
These are the best instructions to follow to set up a schedule: support.esicontrols.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/esrtp4-_user-instructions_web.pdf
How does it measures room temperature? Like where is the thermostat place?
The thermostat will have an internal temperature sensor to adjust the temperature of your home.
My one turns on by itself despite the switch being in the 'OFF' position. It has happened on 3 seperate occassions now. No idea why. Has anybody else had this issue? any fix?
My thermostat shows a flame, but the boiler still doesn't work? (On MAN)
My thermostat keeps losing the connectipn the server what can be tge issue
The boiler does not respond to the thermostat, what to do?
This may be a boiler fault or wiring issue. If you see the flame and the light on the receiver switches on then the fault will likely be with the boiler
Also why so far from camera I cant see a thing on mobile youtube
This device is frustrating. Its says my room is hotter temperature than it is so when manually trying to get it to come on if wont
My unit screen ESI ESRTP4RF+ is not coming on. I’ve replaced batteries still not coming on.
Have you been in touch with ESI? I would recommend speaking with them if it's suddenly stopped working and you've tried reseting it and changing the batteries!
no yet, thanks! try to buy better battery@@Heatable
Does anyone know what the funnel shaped symbol means ?
Unsure which symbol this is?
hi its showing difrent time in my one how to change ?
I always have used manual mode why do you say this is not the most cost effective?
How to connect to thermostats to boiler
Same
Your installer will connect your thermostat to your boiler for you!
@@Heatable The kids broken have ours, if I buy one of these how do I connect it to my boiler or does it automatically connect to my boiler?
@@Juniér_Husséin Most of the thermostats will come with a how to guide for setting it up, it won't automatically connect, some need to be wired etc. If you're not sure then we'd recommend that you contact an electrician to get it set up safely for you.
@@Heatable Thank you much appreciated, I bought one and easily got it connected.
If stats are showing does it mean that it’s connected to the heating? Model: ESRTP4RF+
And I’ve also adjusted the temperature to the lowest setting (5) but the heating is still warm, what am I doing wrong ?
My unit screen is not coming on I’ve replaced batteries still not coming on
Please can you confirm what ESI thermostat model you have?
Skipped over the important stuff. When showing the manual setting, “This isn’t the most cost effective way” Why not? How so? What IS the most cost effective way?
Bro explains in full detail and does an amazing job then proceeds to promote the useless manual. Brilliant😅😂
Glad to know we did a great job 😂
This video did not help me.
Sorry to hear that
Disgusting confusing waste of technology
Terrible manual, and unhelpful video..... contradictor explanation, and does not tell you how to set the lowest or highest temp on any setting at all. Don't use this as a guide
The batteries in ours died. We have replaced them. But they are no lo her linked it seems . How to link them?
Do you mean your thermostat is no longer working/ signalling to your boiler?
@@Heatable Yes that's what I meant but fixed it now. I found video on how to pair them back
That's great 😊@@willwillwill5624
@@Heatable I'll share a link with you on how to fix it as you're the only people to eve bother replying
Thank you, it'll be helpful for anyone that might also be experiencing the same problem! @@willwillwill5624
Great video. Very well demonstrated. Thank you
Really really helpful. Thank you!
Can someone help me ? After set the program i need to leave in program , manual or auto? Because last night the heater start but don’t turn off . Thank you
If you have your programme set up, the heating should be kept in programme mode unless you want it on all day, you can switch to Auto or manual override.
My thermostat keeps flashing no heat. Help!!!!
Sorted. Just changed the battery 😊
@@growqueen glad to hear you've got it sorted, thanks for updating us!
