Wondering how you handle compressor minimum run times and minimum restart delays. Can't seem to wrap my head around where to modify the code. Also wondering if you have tested the "connected device" function. Does not seem to detect properly or at all.

I don't think there is a function for minimum run times anywhere, but perhaps I can do something about it... I will have to get back to you on the other question as I am away at the moment. I'll try to set up a machine when I get home.

Some form of hysteresis would do the job. In other words, have a set point you wish to maintain and a configurable turn on point slightly below that. Needs to be configurable because hot water heating would be a much wider band than space heat.
Cascading or multi level conditions and multiple temperature probe comparison would be other great features.
Thanks again - Greg
