HI,
I know some guys are pro wheather comp and some anti so thought I would ask the below for my circumstances.
House is rented on a room by room basis with all bills included (so gas usage is not monitored by those who occupy). Now if I can get the Climapro, smart wiring centre and outdoor unit cheaply enough (ebay perhaps) then I was looking to upgrade to WC. However I have read on here that there are some bugs on an early firmware so not sure about purchasing as will glow worm come out to a RF 2 that was purchased on ebay) or can I update firmware myself?
System is a 30KW sxi ultracom 2 with megaflo unvented cylinder (so standard cylinder stat) on S plan. As I understand the climapro software is set to ramp up flow when DHW is calling for heat. So I will only benefit from the reduced flow temps after DHW is satisified.
My current room stat has 48 events per day so I have set for a fair temp (throughout set time periods) but this can be overrid by the tennants but only for .5 hour due to the granularity of the current programmer which is a good thing. How many events perday does the climapro2 support (temp increase decrease for the room stat).
I can see the potential to save money on usage with WC but it could be negated if the climapro 2 does not have enough events so it will setback if someone overrides. Obviously I will need to get the unit cheaply as it looks like the whole thing will cost over £200 to purchase (at retail prices) which will not make it wortwhile from a cost point of view.
Thanks
