okay gordon that seems as you've got a product we've seen before from Wago the 207-4301 is that
true it is gary we're back on site here at our smart home takeover where we're going to sort
out the rat's nest behind me that supposedly is an s-plan plus wiring system clearly the
electricians who were in there before just thought about that getting their job done as quickly as
possible they didn't care about anybody else who's coming back in the future to make some
other interventions which we are going to have to do today because we're going to fit this netatmos
smart modulating thermostat to this system here so we're putting to test really that product
we've seen before on the channel which we like to call obviously the 207 4 301 box from vargo or wago
depending on what you want to call it so we're actually going to see it in real life we're going
to see if it solves a problem we love that on the channel don't we can you get an s plan plus wiring
system within the connectors within this joint box yeah okay what we've got here gary well yeah
love it isn't it you've got i think when the first fixed it i thought they might use two boxes to get
all this wiring in but then i've actually only used one because this one just removes oh dear
yeah so that's it we're making live hardware some nice pipeline there for us to catch in there so be
careful with that yeah collection of wires it was an interesting joint that somehow i don't think
that's a Wago connector in there that possibly looks like some wires twisted together with a bit
of tape we've got a selection of terminal blocks there we have oversleeved so we can see which ones
are neutral another terminal block there obviously the strain relief there nothing like a few
cables tied together just to implement a bit of strain relief yeah so let's get the fun started
so all those labels and connections will make that easy now for the next stage yeah oh i didn't ask
gordon uh how's it going i've started to unravel the uh unrivaled rats nest carry so yeah let's uh
i think i've identified the cables that are the thermostat and which ones are feeding it from the
boiler that's upstairs as well okay so on the left there the stats are not going back in are
they no we're gonna surface requirements okay so oh you've introduced a few your own labels now
that's helpful yeah so some labels so i know which one was connected to each one and just
trying to figure out what y is doing what in this system wouldn't be a diys dream would it this okay
that looks a bit better yeah so i met with that carefully i put my screws in between the plumber's
pipes behind that box i'll pick you up later see how you get on okay then gordon so we seem
to be maybe the halfway stage here cables are all labeled up neatly and what you're up to now yeah
all the cables go apart from these mystery wires here that are taped together for marked up death
could come back to haunt us later on i've identified the thermostat the wires that go
to the room stats so they're going to be redundant because the Netatmo has a relay module we're going
to fit in here okay get rid of them uh we've got our Wago box in you can see i'm starting
to configure the terminals here so i've got some five-way ones here they could be the
cpc or the neutral depending on how the configuration goes but let's look at some
of those useful features obviously brought some cables in from the from the back the ones that
obviously vanish into the wall yeah and our zone valves and pump except we're going to fix in these
uh in these cable retention slots here right okay i see you've just spun it around it makes
logical sense still got the ip written on the top of the enclosure but obviously it was going
to be tricky wasn't with those flexes yeah that's uh yeah and someone said that on the um
on the comments on the previous video sometimes obviously a lot of cables come from the top
which in this meant we were running out of uh yes the chop the cables a little bit short but
let's have a look at how that cable grip works so you just bring in your your cable there
sliding we love these don't they these are really easy and you can stack them is that right
satisfying sound as well yeah yeah that's not going anywhere okay so how it remains
now let's just try and uh somehow tidally put this back together and then we can add
our attack mode to the system for the viewers next time they see it it'll probably be all connected
so gary we're nearly done we've done all the whole difficult bit we've found out what the
wires are and we've parked them in a suitable terminal block but this uh this juego junction
box what's the number partner Gary if i was remembering correctly i'll go for the
one i think 207-4301 very good well here it is installed um so yeah we couldn't have done
this job without it because we've added in some uh relays for our Netatmo thermostats which are here
okay and they have two additional cables that need to be routed into the system and i've put
them in these in the double cable clamp so for the corresponding zone valve so here's the downstairs
zone valve here's the cables for our downstairs relay okay so that would have been tricky in that
dual gang box that we've replaced um we've tidied up the wiring so i hope we've still got some
labelling to do obviously we want to make it nice for the next person in here which is probably us
um but i've used nearly all the terminal space around the outside
but we could obviously fit some terminals here in the middle as well if we wanted to
and we'll probably have to do that because we're going to look at possibly later in this series
coupling the solar pv to the immersion heater so to do that we'll probably want some additional
relays and an interlock so we can switch the gas heating off and obviously divert our solar energy
uh into the tank itself but all in all that is a great product there's lots of
wires in there and we've still got some room left so what's your overall feedback then
on fitting the newer version this fargo connector for central eating systems and
it's yeah it's fantastic it's a yeah why the uh yeah okay you have a price price versus time um
equation there and uh if it was it was me doing these things with so many cables to bring in
across a lot of houses i'd be using these especially if you want to make life easier
for probably someone who comes down the road to do some maintenance in the future
