I've just had a new boiler fitted (Worcester Bosch combi), and am taking the opportunity to make the control much more sophisticated. I have an X10 appliance module that takes the place of a room thermostat, so effectively, the boiler is under X10 control (X10 works very reliably here)
I have internal and external temperature sensors, an Ocelot, HomeSeer, and can write scripts, so all the basics are in place.
What I don't have is an intelligent user requirement ops:
How do commercial systems use the external temperature to setback the heating? Surely, if its cold indoors, then it doesn't really matter that its warm outside?
And why does it feel cold at 18 degrees in winter, but warm enough on a summers evening? And if its midsummer, but a chilly morning, do I want the heating to come on?
