Background: I had previously determined that the TPI feature of the room stat (fitted by HP installer) was causing the HP to cycle unecessarily. So, by setting it to be 2 degrees higher than I need disables that feature. By taking it out of the equation I’m hoping to see if that really is the case or not.
Also, by replacing it with software allows me to setup a much more sophisticated heating program than the 4 time slots that the old one provided.
This is mostly just a refinement of what I had working last winter, with only big change being the thermostat. I’m hoping that this will result in longer running cycles, but it’s not quite cold enough yet to see this in action.
It’s great. I use it all the time now in preference to my own shonky dashboards that I used to use.
