Hi, I've been working through the Worcester Bosch instruction book for about 3 hours - they made it so complicated. I watched you video - easy!! All sorted now!! Cheers!!
how do I get the boiler to come on at times other than the set times? When its raining and I want to dry coats etc. I used to press to manual and a flame would appear on the left now it just does nothing. Help
I have a Worcester digistat but I do not have a receiver for it as engineer binned it when replacing my boiler and installed the Hive. I am moving house and taking my hive with me so what receiver would I need for the Worcester digistat?
Ours was supposed to have instructions he fitted and never left us instructions. Just before mum died it got fiddled with as it was set for funny hours somehow it went on holiday mode. It now doesn't do a thing I on my own not very well and bloody frozen. Sorry for rant. The boiler fitter says it's fine and Worcester said they would send a manual hahaha that was over a year ago. I am really really hoping that this demo will help me reset it so wish me luck. 🙈 thank you for posting this x
Yes thanks I have still not got my head round the thermostat even tho it's been explained to me several times lol So hoping to watch this again and hopefully see the light or feel the heat lol Thanks anyway 😄👍🙏
I have this and have already changed this setting as it seems very easy to use which is helpful... if I change it as you've done here... does this set the same for everyday? or can you somehow select each day as you are setting it?
I'm crap with manuals ... just got new boiler and the instructions for this thermostat system is not getting through & I'm freezing and frustrated! however just remembered oh yeah TH-cam!!!! my heating is now on thank you. ... don't know if I've set it right ... but main thing ... it's on! Thank you.
Unfortunately this explanation is completely wrong. There is no 'on' or 'off' as described in this video. Each of the times is merely a point at which the digistat adjusts the room to a different temperature. The giveaway is on page 4 of the manual where from 8:30 to 16:30 it is set at 16 and the manual notes it will be at 16 degrees the whole day. If time 1 was on and 2 off, for example, then after time setting 2 the temperature would not remain at 16 degrees but fall to whatever temperature would be ambient. The best way to think of this is just setting the temperature you need throughout the day and if you truly want an 'off' setting you put the temperature at 7 degrees. Setting it lower than this has no effect as if the temperature falls to lower than 7 degrees a frost protection mode initiates which brings the temperature back to 7 degrees again. My advice would be to ignore this video and read the manual with my description here in mind.
Ok I have a Worcester HIGHFLOW 550 cdi I have boiler temp at 3 but my stat set to 34 so my boiler runs 24.7 but my stat keeps dropping to 24 and my house is to cold at 24 as it’s a 5 bedroom how do I keep it running 24.7 please help
The Drayton Digistat +3RF is the biggest pile of crap ever! I spent a whole even going through the instructions with a fine tooth comb setting every day individually as I work shifts.. I got biilednout if bed at 4am! When I go onto manual the temperature only ever reaches 17 degrees.. always cold!
was struggling to understand instruction manual then saw your post, thank you very much, now quite confident and able to use it, thanks again.
This video was of much help. Many thanks for your video. You really simplified it for me.

"Sending a message to the boiler to say come on lets get warm, they want it hotter" Great video

Thank you for this guide, it helped me out a lot sorting out the settings :-)

I think my Digistat is faulty, can I buy a replacement that will match the receiver on the boiler

Exactly what I thought as soon as he said it was off.

I thought it was just me until I saw other comments.
Really useful video thanks
Thanks for your Help...Very useful.
How do you turn it off?

great video, very helpful
Steve, Steve, Steve is the man, the man, that, can.
really helpful even i understand it now thanks
to complicated I just want to turn the heating on
designed by geeky single guys, they should just make a phone app
Isn't it just the next temperature requirement ? Not the off time ?
+richylad71 same thing
richylad71 yes! Incorrect explanation.
decent video... Thanks a lot for sharing. :)
Perfect. Thank you!
And you can't set weekends so it wakes you at weekday times which is 6:15 for me absolute crap.
Thanks for this !!!
How do I rest this back to factory settings as I have no clue how to work this
thanks I understand now!
The instructions show how it can be programmed for weekdays and weekends but you just try and do it - it won't let you. Useless!
Mine keeps coming on everyday and it’s too hot weather for that. I just want to turn my heating off altogether, how do I do that please?
Nice one geeza
Came here to find out how to set time 🤷♂️
A nasty piece of non user friendly kit!.. guaranteed to make British Gas money if messed with.
Pish. Absolute pish. time for a smart controller.
UMMM, Errr, ehhh!!! !!! You need to redo this video footage.
Thanks so much - was struggling to understand the on/off temperature settings! You made it simple. Cheers.
