[OpenTRV-interest] Explaining OpenTRV

It's quite detailed - look carefully and you'll see the rooms cool down (subtly change colour towards blue), the boiler fires followed by the rads turning red as they get hot, the rooms warm up again, then the boiler shuts off and the rads cool off, then the cycle repeats.

Ok. Perhaps the room colour variations are too subtle.

For the TRV house, and the Radbot house, shouldn’t the room with the thermostat not have a TRV / Radbot.

For the Radbot + Boiler control there should be some energy wasted albeit a smaller amount than the other examples.
