I'm getting a new Vokera Pinnacle 30C installed with a Hive V4 thermostat which has open therm support, and there will be smart TRV's on most radiators.

I mentioned about a weather compensation sensor to my heating engineer who's said they can be a faff and he doesn't like them.

I'm interested to see if people think they are worth it or not? I really want it setup and to leave alone, not to mess about with etc....

The Vokera boiler has a pretty good modulation ratio so it should already reduce flow temperatures pretty well when not used, but not sure how that works when on but not much heating needed etc..

It's in a dormer bungalow, so upstairs isn't well insulated, but the entire downstairs has just has 100mm or kingspan added to the floors, and there is some old wall insulation in there (not spray foam, apparently not beads, but some kind of loose foam).

Any advice is appreciated thanks!
 
@vulcancontinental @muggles May know how best to answer this. Afaik, it’s best to have one type of system, eg OT rather than mix an match, but happy to be proven wrong
Hi thanks, if I'm better sticking with the Hive Opentherm/rad TRV's and along with decent boiler modulation I'm happy to do so, just trying to get best efficiency I can out of the system
 
Not tried one with Hive and not sure how good Hive's OpenTherm is. I tend to use the EPH CP4i and no weather comp
