I need to replace the boiler in my heating system. I'm currently using the original, non-modulating Netatmo thermostat to control the boiler. The boiler is controlled by the contact in the thermostat, not by the contact in the relay.
I do not know what type of new boiler will be installed yet but it is likely going to be a modulating type, which means I'll have to install a new Netatmo modulating thermostat also.
I would like to know if, with the modulating thermostat, it is also possible to control the boiler by the thermostat or can it only be controlled by the relay?

Hi Marc,
You have to connect the Relay to the OpenTherm terminals of the boiler. There is no wired connection for the thermostat with the boiler.

Interesting, I did not know that.

Thanks. I already suspected this but wasn't sure...

Does the Modulating Thermostat itself have no connectors at all or just for dry-contact usage like the analog Thermostat?

No connectors at all for the thermostat, just wireless communication with the Relay ( It can be mounted on a wall or it can be placed on a table just like the smart thermostat ). Only the relay can be connected to the boiler.

Re: Connection of modulating thermostat to boiler
I did not know this thing, so in my case, when I go to replace the intelligent netatmo to the wires that come from the boiler already connected on the 3-4 position of the terminals (opentherm) I do not have to connect directly the netatmo modulating thermostat but the relay. But if I remember correctly the relay has 4 wires two serve for power, which means that I will also have to bring two wires to power it. Did I understand correctly??sergeantd83 wrote: ↑29 Sep 2022, 21:56 No connectors at all for the thermostat, just wireless communication with the Relay ( It can be mounted on a wall or it can be placed on a table just like the smart thermostat ).

Re: Connection of modulating thermostat to boiler
You are right, the relay connection process is the same with the smart thermostat when you connect the relay to the boiler directly. The Black and Grey cables of the modulating thermostat relay have to be connected to the 3-4 OpenTherm terminals of your boiler and Blue-Brown wires to the mains.
