[OpenTRV-interest] Boiler controller (Was: The shop is open!)

Hi all - first time contributing here,

Firstly, the Met Office has a decent API for weather data http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/datapoint <http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/datapoint> Full disclosure - I work there so I'm biased!

Secondly, one idea is to use the forecast temperature to preemptively adjust the house. You would need to parameterise the heat capacity of the house but I think an algorithm might be able to learn that over time. Just an idea - not sure if it would work.
