SALUS RT310 Thermostat Review

Not keeping up with the latest technology compared to the RT310i, and not to be confused with the RT300RF, the Salus RT310 is another one in a now very long line of thermostats that is hard wired. With the RT310, you can run your heating system in the more traditional method, not remotely by switching it on or off from the dedicated App on your Android or Apple IOS Smartphone device. However, both models allow you to easily control and adjust the heating temperature locally on the thermostat.

The RT310 is a well-made, advanced thermostat with an LCD screen and an almost technophobe proof interface. The thermostat enables the user to control the heating level. For some users the SALUS RT310 thermostat may be a bit primative. But at least the user won't be met with some of the problems that can arise with the more advanced model.

The dedicated RT310i App has been known on occasion to not function properly. In some cases, it may fail to make the connection. There may be pairing issues between the programmer and the Internet receiver. Disconnects can be common if you’re unfortunate enough to be plagued by this problem.

But there are some issues with the RT310, too. Main one being temperature inaccuracy. Second issue being an overall faulty unit that just failed to work. There are also some complaints relating to poor technical assistance from the manufacturer. But overall it can potentially be a fairly solid system, as there are some people who love using it and have never had any problems at all.

The SALUS RT310 is a suitable choice if you are searching for a cost effective room thermostat that is very easy to operate. You can easily install the programmer on the wall or counter in your home and manage the heating setting manually on the device. The SALUS RT310 thermostat, while not without some bad reviews, is a fairy efficient unit. Well worth a look if you’re looking for a cheap way to control heating.

Honeywell ST9400C Programmer Best Price. Excellent programmer, very popular with a huge amount of positive reviews. It has lots of features (7 day, 2-Channel, 3 on/Off periods each day, auto season adjustment, holiday mode etc) and settings. Cost is in line with its competitors.

Of course, you may be able to find cheaper if you are willing to a buy a used ST9400C. However, I would recommend buying a brand new model. This way you can take advantage of the 3-year guarantee that it comes with. If you buy used it may be older than the guarantee time, so if something does happen to go wrong with it. Such as, it won't turn on, blank screen (display not working, problems with the temperature / on - off settings not being accurate etc), you may have to buy another programmer.
