High inertia in underfloor #1

Open oko-x opened 5 years ago

Hi,

how did you resolve high inertia of underfloor heating systems in your case? Do you use PID regulation?

Unrealted, have you considered using weather forecast?

Thanks, I admire your project.

Thanks! As it is I've not really been able to test the heating yet due to the consistent heat here. I've considered this though and first want to see how severe the inertia is. I've researched pid but due to the very slow response times have not implemented it yet. I'll see... And no weather forecasting is not implemented, wouldn't know how to implement that.

Just checked as I realised that it turned on today, it overshot the target T by 0.1 degree, so it appears that a pid is not required.
