Hi All,
I switched from thermostat build in into my central heating boiler to generic thermostat
integration recently and I generally like it how it works, how I can control it etc
However after month usage I noticed my gas consumption is higher than was before.
What I also noticed currently my boiler now fires much less frequent than before but for longer time.
I know I can get similar behaviour changing cold /hot tolerance
, but my question is:
based on your experience / knowledge - what is more economical?
- keep heating / break intervals short
- wider heating / break
Obviously I know that from comfort perspective #1 is always winner - but I’m now considering only economical perspective (Im not often in that flat, I want to keep it cheap, but not too cold ).
If #1 is your advise - do you have any tips re cold/hot tolerance / other values / settings ?
Below are my current settings (I want to keep 18C in biggest room )
target_temp: 18
cold_tolerance: 0.3
hot_tolerance: 0.1
Heating cycle before change:
After change
