@cathoderay I did some maths over my lunchbreak and I think I've got an explanation for why there is a polynomial in the relationship. I think it is...
I also found other forms of the curve that better fit the data when doing my EDA, many of which confused the hell out of me, including the polynomial ...
@cathoderay I've made a few modifications having looked through your posts. First, the problem with applying the "no setback" model to the "yes setb...

You could try increasing the tank target temperature so that, even if it's 3C below and doesn't trigger, it's still hot enough for long enough to supp...
I'm on Intelligent rather than Cosy, but I have automated my heat pump to boost the flow temp by 5C during the cheap period. I don't think it's game c...
It's also 2.4kWh extra heat generated in your home (assuming the circulating pumps are inside the thermal envelope of your home).
If we're getting R-squareds of 0.9 with just the OAT vs energy consumed, then we're probably not going to be able to discern a 5-10% difference in ene...
This was my experience too, and our installers removed the FTC6 and replaced it with an FTC5. Otherwise, I believe, you have to invest in the dedicate...
@jamespa I think it is better to measure energy consumed of course, but then you also need to take into account things like Time of Use tariffs. For e...
There's really no meaningful difference between those two lines at all. People can set their setbacks if they want and not worry about it, or people c...
