[QUOTE="mrbob123, post: 524248, member: 34218"] Hi All, Hope we are all keeping well. I just wanted to ask how difficult it would be to go from a single zone to dual zone heating based upon my current config. I'm in an all electric flat renovated in around 2004 which has electric panel heaters in each room and a large double coil immersion boiler. When I moved in it previously had a Siemens RWB9 installed which was controlling the boiler and heating. I switched that for a drayton controller which was basically just a direct switch. I can see that the drayton is turning the relays in that box on and off, so I was just wondering how difficult or easy it would be to convert this to a dual zone system? So that the living room and bedroom heating is controlled separately? Here are some pictures of the box [URL]https://photos.app.goo.gl/tFZu8Z6wTzrX5scJ7[/URL] I mean. I did even try to look into the panel radiators to see if I could add a switch there, but they appear to have some kind of seimens box / plug behind each radiator which I can't seem to find much about on the internet. Is it as simple as replacing those circuit breaker with separate ones? I presume then maybe additional wiring would also have to be added from behind the fuse box to where the controller is on the wall? Thanks in advance, any help would be greatly appreciated! [/QUOTE]
