B & Q Homeeasy home automation Central heating controller Mod

Hi this is a cheaper alternative to the standard home easy Central heating controller sold by b&q.

I was going to buy the proper central heating controller H105 but found it to be a bit to expensive and then found that it could only be controlled from the top of the range remote control H100 which was over complicated and expensive for my needs.

So what I did was to get the basic plug in modules HE302S which come in a pack with the remote control. And modify it for my central heating.

As its only basically a RF receiver and a relay.

Only do this mod if you are confident working with electronics as there is soldering and mains electricity involved.
I will not be held responsible for any accidents or faults.

Step 1 Opening the case

anyway what I did was to open the HE302S module by undoing the screws in the rear as shown.
to do this I had to get a flat blade screwdriver and file a v slit in the middle to allow me to undo the tamper proof screws.

As Shown below

when open you will see a circuit board.

Very interesting. This is 220V? Would seem safer to interface at the thermostat end...
