Just to close this. Finally had the installer back last week to fit an immersion thermostat with a higher rating. As expected, no more rapid s...
Rather than disconnecting the Evohome boiler relay, I've added a switch across the relay contacts. This way, I can either have it on continuously, or...

Looks like I got it wrong. With it set to "Main RC", it seems to be using the temperature sensor in the wired controller, but the wired controller i...
