Very windy and torrential rain in Leeds today. I resisted turning the heating on and got a throw out. It's going to be an expensive winter without the government credit this year
 
Lol put my heating on this morning and a thicker jumper.
I don't think I'll be holding it till October at this rate

Starting to drop away now

What system is that? Looks good/useful.

Its tado. Have a little Robot trv controller on each radiator. They have a temp and humidity sensor. So they turn off and on the radiator when hit temp.
If they are all off the boiler is turned off.

If you have a really big room you can buy a separate sensor so it's further away from the radiator.
You can set an offset as obviously when radiator is on its going to be hotter right near it.

It knows when we are away from home and goes into away mode.


Then as you get get closer and closer to home it gets this warmed up before you arrive.

15c.. That's pointy nip temperature! Brr!

I can see why you have high heating bill if it comes on at 21-22c :eek: on in the bathroom as well ?
Guess I cope well with lower temperatures
during the day still jumping to 20c without heating, and under the duvet at night it gets pretty toasty even in peak of winter without heating on

That tado setup looks quite neat actually. Presumably just heating individual rooms saves you a fair bit in winter?

I find it really hard to compare. Didn't really track first winter in the house so don't have a base line. House has terrible insulation (think it's the windows) so I feel heating rooms you're in is better?

As we work at home basically heat the upstairs during the day, and the downstairs in the evening.
And bedroom at night.

Its more for comfort than saving. But I hope it saves something.

Main issue I had was the old main stat was in the east room entrance. But my study was in the west. It would be calling for heat when most of the house was fine.
It was so old it kind of came on at 17 and turned off at 23. Just one of those old analogue dial things.

For the super nerds.. If I do come in my study at weekend. I push the bottom button on my light switch and it bumps my. Room to 22c until I turn it off.
Its set via Google home.
