Having a separate graphics card reduces the load on the CPU so I think in my case this is the reason I see no significant difference in minimising Cortex.

Why does it only use a temporary edit?

I tried this on my own system and saw no significant change in CPU usage. Perhaps its related to a seperate graphics card?

My own heating system is on 24/7 365 days a year. By 'on' I mean controlled. It can even come on occasionally during the middle of summer. Bedroom target temperature is raised just before we go to...

No such provision has been made. However we will include this ability in the next update. Also provide a state output so its condition may be tested.

Not sure how well this would work but you could try...

Create two macros.

First Macro will be a set of 'Set Value' commands to the HVAC's.
Use the 'Heating temporary change Set-point value'...

Is their a reason why you do not use the fallback setting for when whole house is unoccupied?
Or put another way when do you use the fallback setting?

IR Beam, do you know the model or a link for its spec?

Do you have an android app that is using it?

You would use a relay module to simulate the switching of the thermostat. Indeed both could be operational. Turn the thermostat right down so in effect, inactive. Then allow Cortex and Idranet to...

We have several installation which use two PC's. One for Cortex running the network hardware and a second running the cameras. The two are linked if required using the bridge facility. For example...

Hi Graham,

Not sure I fully understand the requirement.
A HVAC object can connect for its heating to a zone valve which in turn may connect to a boiler.
The boiler and zone valves may be used in...

A value of -1000 is used as a un-initialised value within Cortex. That is, decisions based upon this temperature should not made until a real reading has been received.
It may be the 'alternative...

I do not think correct. My front door is recorded as an external door. But it has hall on one side and Porch on the other. I want it to evaluate House, Alarm etc when this door is closed.
