let me have a look at one of our system simulators. The grading will be in 5C settings. I will turn the room sensor influence off, so it just sets at outside temp. Will give you a idea, or can email you the simulator.

Both if possible? -2c @50c is too high. But wonder why they have changed Scotland from -6 to -5 now. I am gonna put it to 50c but just need to work out the outdoor temp either -5 or -6?

Just tried to send you the simulator, but as it was a .exe file it was blocked by your server.

Can you put it in a zip file then send it? What do you think we could try it as for now? I've just put 50c at -6c

That setting looks fine, as it should ramp up as the external temperature decreases. Do you have a flow temperature reduction for overnight e.g 3C?
Will zip the file for you tomorrow.

At system on times the set point is 21c, but overnight and when not at home it is set to 18c. Is that what you mean?

Overnight 21C looks too high. I would think about 19c from probably 22.00 to 06.00.
You should now have the zip file for the simulator.

Forgive me, I have edited my original post. I forgot to insert a comma. Overnight it is 18c.

No problem. Let me know how the revised settings go, with elec use etc. give it at least 24 hrs to stabilise.
If you need help with the simulator, just email me.

When I changed it to -2 at 45c house was struggling to warm up with a 40c flow temp at 3c outside and used £3.41 in a day. Will let you know how new settings go
