Re: Choosing an Advanced Thermostat for Home

["Simon McCaughey" <simonmcc@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Since we automated the heating in our home the thermostat is basically
redundant.

I use detailed timed programs, for example 10 mins on, 10 minutes off, to
control the overall temperature. Using various patterns the heating control
of the house is very easy, and surprisingly very stable.

The other problem with our thermostats is that they are in the hall and
landing, and have no bearing on the heat in the important rooms.

Sometimes I think we over-complicate things, our heating requires some
human
input - ie does it feel cold in the house - yes then heat on for 30
minutes/hour, no then 15 minutes per hour - simple!
