@mjr mine seems to have shut down as planned at midnight although the flow and return temp’s appear to be 20c. I was hoping the system would shut down but clearly that isn’t the case and it maintains a steady temp’.

Is there any point in using Holiday Mode unless there are sustained sub zero temperatures? I just turned the system off in the end after the DHW doing whatever it felt like. The house got down to 13.5 degrees over the 5 days we were away, the day we came back I turned it on at 10am and it was back up to normal temp by the time we got back late afternoon. I suppose if you had no data connection or just wanted to not worry about it then HM is an option, but the DHW factor is annoying.

@trbob my reasoning is, if I forget, it will automatically start up on pre holiday mode settings ten hours, or whatever, prior to my return.  I’m old, forgetful and possibly returning home in the early hours.  That said I get where you’re coming from.

@trbob I've never had the DHW heat up during a holiday set on the FTC. Were you using the FTC or melcloud for DHW settings?
