is my Baxi duo-tec faulty?
Hello, I was crypto mining last 2 years in my living room with heat of 500W 24/7, I haven't noticed my boiler behaving this way, because I didn't use it much. Stopped in Sep, and started using GCH in Nov.
it is happening in 5 min intervals: 15:36 boiler flame light switches on and boiler kicks in, vapor coming out of flute. 15:37 flame icon off, boiler switches off, no vapor, 15:42 repeats switches on, 15:43 off, 15:48 on,15:49 off, 15:54 on, 15:55 off, this happens irrespectively to thermostat being on or off ( batteries in or out) and/or programmer being set to ON,BOOST,AUTO.
Hartsmann 2 channel programmer (downstairs,upstairs), Honeywell DT90E thermostat set to 24deg to highlight the issue, flow 54deg, 6y old 2 bed end of terrace.
Can you help please? cheers.

btw afaik most wireless thermostats default to "on" if they can't connect (i.e. batteries out).
today: 10.02 on, 10.06 off,10.09 on, 10.13 off, 10.16 on, 10.19 off, 10.22 on, 10.23 off, 10.26 on, 10.29 off. I will have to get it checked, crypto rig had really nice heating output.
I don't think you have any options to restrict the maximum output and with a simple on/off control, the programmer will be calling for maximum heat or nothing. The boiler will modulate itself when the return temperature rises but then shut down again. It sounds like your energy-efficient home doesn't need anything like the boiler's output. It's not an uncommon situation.
Some boilers can be adjusted in different ways to extend the anti-cycling period but I don't think that yours can.
