[OpenTRV-dev] Follow-on from Connecting Homes

[Bo Herrmannsen]

hehe...

there are a bit thruth to it....

it at least aim the air towards the room and not straight up


i had a friend once that had a cieling fan... it could run backwards in 
winter... and he saved quite a bit since the fan pushed the warm air 
down....

it did not even run at full speed like in the summer.... just enough to mix 
the cold air at floor with the hot air


/bo


mike btw.... you left a comment on TRV way back to connect RFM irq to avr... 
what pin would be best?

I would be really interested to know if that radfan thing actually does 
anything. I just can't help but think that the convection even from a 
partially obstructed rad would be a far greater air current than anything a 
tiny fan could achieve. It reminds me of the time when I was in sixth form 
and someone decided it would be a good idea to "supercharge" his mum's Ford 
Fiesta with a PC fan!
