Question: high inertia in floor heating system #247

Closed etomm closed 11 months ago

etomm commented 11 months ago

Hello, looking at the graph of some of my rooms I noticed that between the moment the heater is turned on and the room temperature begin to vary there are more than 2 hours! This is compatible with how floor heating systems works, mostly when the water temperature is regulated in a way that it should be ALWAYS turned on, like in my house. The problem with a system always turned on is that at night maybe you would like to sleep in a colder environment than the one you have during they day and moreover, at nights you can't use solar power with an heat pump to warm the rooms. This is because I have two different temperature set as in the picture.

So the idea is: should I increase the cycle time to something like half an hour or more? The problem that I see in other rooms is that having small intervals are making the temperature rise 0.6, 0.8 degrees more than needed.

Hello, this should be a discussion (cf. https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/discussions) and certainly not an issue or you think VTherm have an issue ?

Can you open this in discussions please and I will answer.
