[OpenTRV-interest] First impressions and questions

[Chris Skerry]

Damon,

I assume you are addressing the question below in red to me.

I notice it kicking in winter time when the front door is opened for a period of time to load stuff from the car boot into the house.  Another occasion is in the bathroom when I open the window to get rid of the fug that is clouding the mirror.  the cold air causes it to display ‘window’ and set to 5 degrees, for 30 minutes.

Both of these examples are entirely correct and makes me think the Evohome system is well designed.

I recommend you buy an Evohome system and install it in your house.  You will then understand what you are up against.

Regards,…………..Chris.
