    TRV is an on/off valve, no batteries. Shut off the flow when room temperature is at the set point, e.g. "3".

    I think you'll find not using the hot tap, and only use the cold tap achieves what you want.

    Not quite sure what your question is, but a combi heats the water on demand. It's not stored hot water, so is only heated when you turn on the bath tap.
    A TRV simply enables you to control the temperature in each zone individually, rather than overall by means of a room 'stat.
    It won't save you any electricity though...
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
