    Have a look through the instructions to see if the 'swing' can be narrowed down. Ours (Alpha) can be set to come on and off at 0.1c above or below target temperature. I have it set at 0.3c above and 0.3c below and set target at 19.5c, so in theory temp is always between 19.2c and 19.8c (in theory).
    Thank you to, but seems ours cannot be adjusted lower.

    Conventional thermostats used to have a tiny heating element, which means they actually switched off before the target temperature was reached. A sort of negative deadband specifically to anticipate and avoid the temperature overshooting.
