I probably only need it on in BST 3 hours a day to top up the Hot Water. I’m going to create a workaround with a 4 ch relay that schedules the heat pump to come on 4 hours during mid day and 1 hour of that use the external boiler function to block the HW and Heating inputs that way its warming the oil before kicking in.
shame I have to create a work around think this function would be built into the FTC Eco mode but I found that the Eco mode doesn’t do anything or make any changes to how the system functions .
