I have had this wireless thermostat for about a month. It is a very reliable product, which is also manufactured in our country by a Greek company. It consists of two separate devices, like all wireless thermostats:
a. The BS-850/R, which is installed in a fixed location and connected via wiring to the boiler (like a traditional thermostat) and to a stable power supply of 220V (not batteries) for its operation. It only has indicator lights.
b. The BS-850/T, which can be placed anywhere (as long as it has wireless contact with the BS-850/R) and operates on batteries. It is the wireless part of the thermostat, with a display showing indications, settings, etc., and it sends commands to the BS-850/R to activate/deactivate the boiler.
Its positives are:
a. Its low price (purchased for 85 euros), which is much lower compared to similar thermostats from major manufacturers.
b. The existence of multiple daily and weekly programming options, as well as various other settings.
c. The presence of adjustable room temperature differential, with a minimum of 0.2 degrees Celsius. This feature is particularly important for those who want to maintain a stable temperature in the room as much as possible. For example, with a desired temperature of 22 degrees and a differential of 0.2 degrees, the thermostat will activate the boiler when the temperature reaches 21.8 degrees. Similarly, with a differential of 0.5 degrees Celsius, the thermostat will activate the boiler when the temperature reaches 21.5 degrees.
Regarding the accuracy of the thermostat's temperature, personally I have not noticed any deviation greater than 0.1 - 0.2 degrees when comparing it with other reliable room thermometers that I have.
If I have to mention any negatives about this product, they would be:
a. The complex menu, which in combination with the number of settings and programming options, makes it somewhat difficult to use, at least in the beginning. However, once the user becomes familiar with it, it's fine. In any case, the product comes with a very detailed operating manual in Greek.
b. The sensitivity of the wireless device to temperature when the user holds it in their hands to make adjustments. Within seconds, it "heats up" and the temperature increases by 1-2 degrees Celsius, showing an incorrect room temperature. However, as soon as the user releases it, after a certain time, it "cools down" and shows the correct room temperature.
c. The limited menu of the Olympia electronics thermostat Android application, through which the user controls the device from a smartphone via home wifi. The user can only activate/deactivate the thermostat, view the room temperature, and adjust the desired temperature, without having access to the programming options and the multitude of other device settings.
