Central Heating Programmer With Remote Boost Facility.

[Riggy]

Anyone know of central heating programmer (preferably two channel, but not fussy) that has a facility to wire a remote boost facility?

Hostel in the lakes, owned by a charity. They want to lock the programmer away to prevent hostel users making adjustments, but still have the facility for users to operate the boost function (if they come in off the fells, wet through, in the middle of the afternoon, etc.).

I could modify a standard one, or wire a separate boost timer of course, but if there's one available off the shelf, that would obviously be easier.

Thanks in advance.

I think I'd wire in an electronic boost timer myself

one of those immersion heater boost timers would do spot on, not that expensive either.

You might be able to fit a lockable wooden box over the top of a normal programmer but cut a hole out over the spot where the boost button is so people can press the button but they cannot intefere with the other settings.
