Away Mode - Has something changed?
Just back from holiday and as per previous practice over the years just manually shifted to Away Mode on departure only to find on return that the Lounge has run per schedule the whole week. No other room just that one. Two large rads controlled by wireless stat - what a waste! Any ideas please?

@GrayDav4276 I am indeed and thanks for that but do you think that could cause such an issue isolated to one room please? It came on again this evening in the Lounge (not on schedule) for about an hour around an hour after the schedule should start and then went off! I would normally start thinking about batteries in situ such as this but both rads were changed very recently. Crazy!

@GrayDav4276 Suspect Support wont help on this one! Rechecked both sets of rad batteries and then wireless stat and decided to replace. Put in fresh and it's now dead! Tried the old ones and another set - no joy. I always thought these things were either dead or alive but maybe something was amiss with the stat over the last few days, although still connecting, but causing the issues I mentioned. Hey Ho! Saves me having to test my lung capacity!

@GrayDav4276 Your lead very helpful. Took it apart and tested voltage across all 3 batteries @ around 4.8v but still dead. Then put probes directly onto soldered joints and just by the act of pressing the solder, next test on the button and it's working again. Clearly a poor joint. I will remake the joints but stays in the garage till then!
BUT! Does that mean that my stat was in Home mode when last live; then died. I then changed to Away mode for holiday. It came back to life and stayed and ran in Home mode for a week? I would appreciate your thoughts please.

@GrayDav4276 Yes I have a spare and it's been serving the Lounge with no issues for a couple of days.
I did not put is very well but do you believe a 'dead' wireless stat in Home mode (died in Home mode) could 'awaken' into an Away Mode and run its Home schedule? How else could this stat be the culprit for seven days of scheduled running in the lounge?
I am well aware I am labouring this issue - 'cos I wish to raise it with support eventually!
