As to why they would send the raw value from the HR92 and do the processing in the controller - probably because the HR92's aren't firmware upgradable and the controller is - it leaves them with more flexibility in the future on how to process that raw value.

My infrared thermometer tells me it is 3.2f warmer than the shelf it stands on. Thus this room is a little cold at 67.1fResideo employee. Comments are personal, and likely to get a hard stare from Rameses

My ones clock is still 32 seconds out so I guess that minor bug has not been fixed.
Outside temperature only displayed with no decimal point e.g. 10c and I wonder how often it updates?
I can understand not wanting to change the main screen without making sure all owners know about it in advance.
Perhaps a system updated message with a weblink (if the unit has enough storage) or maybe an extra screensaver that displays the demand data and the correct time (thus no change to existing UI).

Ok not wanting to look stupid here, but can someone explain what the new hot water "boost" function actually does ?
It's not clear at all from the UI what it does, and it doesn't seem to do what I assumed it would - which is to provide a temporary timed boost in hot water temperature, for example to allow you to run a deeper bath...
But.... a) There is no way to specify what the "boosted" hot water temperature is - either in the normal UI or the stored hot water configuration, and b) the boost option doesn't seem to let you choose how long to boost for - you can't combine the boost option with a timed override as they seem to be mutually exclusive in the UI.
I tried turning the boost on and waited a while - and nothing happened. No attempt to heat the water hotter than normal occurred. (HW relay stayed off)
So I'm at a loss to understand what it actually does and how it is useful ?Last edited by DBMandrake; 21 December 2017, 05:55 PM.

Originally posted by DBMandrake View PostIf that's true then I don't see the use of it - how does that differ from the existing timed override facility ? And at least with timed override you can say how long you want it overridden for, this "boost" option does't allow you to adjust the end time. Doesn't make sense.
It would be good if they actually did a BOOST function for the heating side of things (Yes you can do custom action but that will only let you set it for a date not a number of hours like Eco mode, and I forget to turn mine off) where you could plus all zones on for X amount of hours at the current set temp. Rather than having to do each one manually.

Again, the way it behaves makes no sense to me. It's currently 5:30pm and my hot water is scheduled to be ON until 10pm.
If I choose boost it makes it appear that hot water will be scheduled on until 11pm. So that's it ? It just adds one hour to next scheduled off time ? If so, colour me unimpressed. It doesn't actually add any new functionality. I was looking forward to being able to boost my hot water temperature by 5 degrees for running baths but no such luck...
