By the way…
Do you already know about PROGmatic programming sticks?
You can programme SPARmatic comet by hand or you can
use, for example, the comfortable PROGmatic-Bluetooth
programming stick to copy your personally specified heating and
economy times onto all your EUROtronic energy-saving radiator
thermostats at your home which have a programming port in a
matter of seconds. Detailed information and the *PROGmatic
Programming sticks can be found on: www.eurotronic.org
Please read the user manual before you place the thermostat.
Keep the documents for later questions and provide them if
you pass the thermostat on to other persons.
