@batalto - I have finally bit the bullet and installed the Midea MSmarthome app on my mobile and connected to the Midea controller. I am sure it is co...
@kev-m - I do know what the house is built of, old solid sandstone walls of various but known thickness, plus an extension I added with cavity walls e...

@batalto - it's probably just me, but I am not sure I can make any sense of that chart apart from one thing - like me, you have your DHW desired temp ...
I suppose that is plausible but it seems on the low side. Assuming building heat loss vs temp is linear, 12.4kW @ -2 / 0kW @ 20 degrees ambient, then ...
