Hi,
I am wanting to have 'smart' heating so that ALL rooms are individually thermostatically controlled but I do not want a central house thermostat.
I want this logic :
- If a one or more TRV requires heat I would like the boiler to turn ON and pump hot water around the flow/return to provide heat to that radiator.
- If non of the TRV require heat I would like the boiler to turn OFF.
- I don't want the concept of multi room 'zones' or a 'house thermostat'.
- I want this logic to work 24/7, not just the few hours either end of the day.
....can I do this?
Heating Engineers I have spoken to have not been very technological minded and can't see the point in spending lots of money on the new fan-dangled smart heating systems with all the apps, geo presence, smart learning and logs of historic temperatures - "it only takes a second to twist a manual valve" etc etc so I am not getting any help with my challenge.
I DON'T want a hall that has the 'dump radiator' and I DO want a TRV in the bathroom as I want to control the temperature there too.
I think that these systems provide the technology

- Tado (https://www.amazon.co.uk/tado°-Smart-Thermostat-Starter-Kit/dp/B01MG5BION/ref=sr_1_2?s=diy&ie=UTF8&qid=1511313045&sr=1-2&keywords=tado)
- Honeywell EvoHome (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Evohome-HR...coding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=ZAJT8ZQJQMR4053C2PG8)
But how do I get around the problem that when all TRV are SHUT the boiler will bang/whoop/pop/struggle/blow attempting to push water around a closed loop ?
Thanks in advance,
Christopher
