    You could easily as part of an advanced setup have the valve operated manually from closed open until you have flow and set one step back as 0%

      So I understand the idea of a bypass radiator...

      What I'd really like is a different bypass rad according to the time of day...

      I currently use the smaller of 2 radiators in the main room, and the larger one rarely 'opens'. This is OK for daytime.

      What I'd really like is for it to switch to the rad in my eldest's bedroom at night. During the day her bedroom is set to 15C (she's at school), and we keep the door closed (this alone is going to save me a fortune). However, at night the thermostat is constantly calling for heat (and thus the downstairs room is kept unnecessarily warm).

      Any thoughts on an automated way of achieving this? Say main room from 7am to 11pm, and bedroom from 7pm to 8am?

      Actually, I think I can do something with some HR20s. Or is there are better programmable TRV someone could recommend? I heard some people suggest Terrier i-temp i30s.

        What we appear to be suggesting is an additional setup criteria per zone that either creates or not a boiler demand. Now that we have an electric zone type that does precisely that, has any one actually tried to see if an HRxx will bind with such a zone type?
