Not necessarily: "nowcasts" are often pretty accurate and it would be less vulnerable to problems like sun reaching a sensor or being near a wall that...
Well, yes, but we also have forecasts of the outdoor temperature (and so the future efficiency of the heat pump) that most controllers ignore at prese...
