What does it do on Monday when every one is at the office having had all the family staying for the weekend and using lots of hot water
You have to be joking, "sorry you can't have this boiler unless you also have a smart phone
That does seem to be a long time, is that your estimate or is it actual recorded data
In reality aren't these predictive controls little more than a gimmick
Try a CombiSave on the DHW outlet. It restricts the water flow until the DHW temperature is up to setpoint temp then opens fully. It saves gas and water. About £48. But open the tap with a slight flow until up to temp, then when hot open fully - and save £48. Having a manifold with 10mm pipe to each tap will make matters better as well - less water in the dead leg pipe.
I relive a Potterton had a device to restrict the flow until up to temp.

He put an instantaneous electric single point water heater under the basin fed from the hot draw-off pipe.
I can't recall the make. It was instant and had a run stat and overheat as well. It did accept hot water into the inlet.Instant or small tank heater? I was considering the latter, but you mention the former.
I have thought about that arrangement, but I’ve noticed that the instructions generally seem to say “for cold mains water only” or similar.
With an instant heater, I would be unenthusiastic about feeding in water at 60C and heating it to 95C and relying on its over-temp cutout to switch it off. With something like a 2kW 15l tank I’d be happier since its thermostat is part of its normal operation, not just a safety cutout.
Dear Experts,
Do any combi manufacturers ever specify their hot water start-up times, from turning on the tap to hot water leaving the boiler?
It seems to me that this is one of the more important considerations, but I’ve never seen it quantified in the promotional blurbs or instruction books. Not that I have looked at many. Maybe they are all equally bad.
