@derek-m - still trying to make sense of that climate.py code. One observation: the DHW tank actual temperature isn't defined in that climate.py code,...

@derek-m - at the moment (13:24) the wired controller outdoor temp shows 12 degrees, maybe it was 11 degrees. At 1308 (one of the random not on the ...
I think this has to be the case, given neither of us has found anything in the code that requests the 04/04 message data. The odd thing is the random ...
