as I understand it...
Pretty much where something has been built on a hill, and either at the back or front there are rooms you can walk into on one level.
Depends on the house of course, again loads of it where I used to work as everything is part of a massive valley. These
rooms are usually (esp. pre 80s) of a utility type nature rather than living so often the boiler is in there but no actual rads.
Also the space under a stage etc...
Different from cellar or basement in that respect, which is completely buried, and accessed from within via stairs.

Have to say I've only ever seen external frost stats on older boilers where it was fitted in undercroft or outhouse, garage etc..
Our old 1994 boiler didn't have one.
Then like a lot of things its built in but they still recommend external. Like, our boiler has bypass but still recommends you
fit an external one. The original plumbers didn't but I have... Same with pressure vessel, it has one built in but for a larger
house it recommends an bigger external one, which again the plumbers didn't but I have! The plumbers were working for the
previous householder whilst the house was up for sale so no doubt were told not to spend a penny more than needed. That
said its not a cheap, nor bottom of the range boiler.

Yeah most are operating as normal-ish. Hermes here tends to turn up 2-3 days after you've booked them and our usual guy is not doing it probably due to age
Lost my handy UPS drop off though, it was the caravan showroom opposite us, now closed...

Assuming thats from Scanny head office then?

Yeah thought so, I'd forgotten!

I guess OpenTherm wouldn't be compatible on a zoned system?
I think our boiler might support it (well, it has a USB diagnostic port, I'm only going by 'if it's that modern' argument) but
we have 3 zones hence 3 Nests and 3 zone valves (with rubber/flap type non-return on the Return part of the loop to prevent flowback)
Which was interesting to have to do - and left me wondering how a 'proper' plumber would have stopped it?
Most rads without stats in the same room have TRVs (apart from towel rails)
As above I'm not sold on z-wave or other TRVs until the batteries last for years

Obviously depends where your boiler is located but most modern ones have frost stat built in now.
Pretty sure the Nest also has a pervasive 'frost stat' even when turned off, but don't quote me on that.

Yeah I heard you I thought it was the gearbox or I'd run over a family of foxes

I very reluctantly put my parents DVR in their boarded out loft, quite shallow, slate roof, the HDD lasted about 2 seasons...

Menvier Security Ltd who where dissolved in 2015
They were as good as dormant for many years anyway, 2015 was just the Eaton takeover, when all the remaining names and subsiduarys were oficially wound up.

If you are struggling now with the water around your ankles, you'll be drowning if you take the lid off and start poking around.
Time to admit defeat and pass this job on to a professional, I'd say.

Who made these for Chubb then? Was it Kentec?

If a Gmail account is used solely for m2m type stuff they can and do detect and block. I forget now but there is a workaround, i had to do it for my freepbx alerts.
It might rely on running a script though, easy enough on a pi, obvs not so much on a DVR!

Like everything virtually unenforceable now every man and his dog has this tat.
Look at what happened with illegal FM transmitters in cars, illegal but so many doing it they effectively had to legalise as they knew they couldn't enforce

Wendy the sheep?

Nice try but you accidentally left the sheep in the background when you photoshopped the rest of it.
