<p>Much easier to do this via the melcoud app or web browser. It can show hourly temperatures for flow/return/tank temp etc.</p>

<p>Thanks for the update. It may be that you do not need to adjust the weather compensation, since auto adaptation should compensate for any differences that may occur. You can download all the installation and operation manuals should you require more detailed information.</p>
<p>I am pleased to see that your energy consumption is now only 25% to 30% of the previous day. Well worth a little time and effort.</p>]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>@derek-m Sorry - been busy with family in over Christmas etc</p>
<p>I have moved the remote controller down to the living area and removed the schedules from all the thermostats.  So its now running on AutoAdaptation set to 20 degrees with the controller in the living room.  And its working really well - so thanks!  House is keeping a consistent temperature, heating costs are down.  </p>
<p>So thanks for all your help. </p>
<p>On the weather compensation curve - I haven't been able to edit it.  There doesn't seem to be an edit button and the manual just suggests contacting the installer.  </p>
<p>I also managed to get Melcloud up and running on wednesday.  so starting to see some data which really helps.</p>
<p>This is my electricity usage record - it was Thursday that i made the changes and removed the remote controller downstairs. So from a electricity usage point of view it seems to be working well.  House has stayed a nice consistent temp as well. </p>

<p>It was just what prompted me to decide I needed to figure out the most efficient way of running the air source.  </p>
<p>It's a completely different mindset to a normal heating system, so glad to get feedback on whether my costs are reasonable.  Thanks</p>]]></content:encoded>

<p>Wow, this is something I've never seen. Holding down F1 gives this.  The Set Temp. (flow) is what the weather compensation curve says flow temp should be.  If I change the offset, that number changes. (Remember due to my duff sensors the flow temp is under reading by about 5-6C so when weather comp asks for 28C it actually delivers 33-34C, which is what my own thermometer says).</p>
<p>Quite useful.</p>
