[OpenTRV-dev] Adaptive...

[Damon Hart-Davis]

Hi,

Don't go hauling doors for me, at least not just yet!

I do advocate keeping doors shut to heat smaller portions of the house (and lose less heat through surfaces of unoccupied rooms), but that's a discussion for another day.

(Eg to gather research data and to help deduce how much of the heating effort may be wasted on unoccupied rooms.)
