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 have used this every autumn. You make it so simple, thank you

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?

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'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

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!

This video has been a lifesaver! Thanks for taking the time to produce and share with us.

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!!!👍

Our one is always at manual 22.5 temperature 24/7/365. Works well, can't be bothered with any other settings in it :)

[daphodill]

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!

I find this Honeyewell product the most un-user friendly one of all! I may just get something else. Thanks for your vid!

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.

Much appreciated for a decent demo on how to use this properly 👍👍

[captainthorn]

Thankyou so much best explanation on YouTube you made it so easy to understand

[beckymuir]

Really helpful i couldn’t figure out why my boiler was coming on in the off period thank you!

[loaurl]

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?

[kenfoot]

Thanks mate. A lot more information than I got from the installer. Video saved for future reference. Cheers.

[alisontaylor]

I found it easy and clear and a very good point on off temperature to stop the boiler firing up when off . Thanks

[laurenixb]

Thank you for explaining this in an easy to understand way. It’s really helped!
