vic_sf49 said:The one thing I don't like, is that once your heating is up to temp, as soon as it drops by 0.1 degree, the heating kicks in again. I'd prefer it to be half a degree of something you can set yourself. (I can never remember what this is called.)Hysteresis.I'm in the opposite camp on this; a couple of winters ago I tried a cheap ZigBee smart thermostat but it had +/- 0.5C of range (eg. if set to 19 it would heat to 19.5 then shut off until it dropped back to 18.5) and it was too much. I much prefer my Hive.
