Does the App have it's own transmitter/ current sensor or does it use the smart meter?

Controversial I know @newhome but does anyone in the village own a car or ever need it maintained?

because the flow temperature seemed to change randomly and now the temperature modulation thing is discussed...

failed stat in the immersion heater and (IIRC) G3 compliance.

Our supplier was happy to go a bit over the maximum with the caveat of a reduced warranty on the hinges. Did your supplier say what the maximum allowed *was*?

Is anyone else having flashbacks to the Zoot story?

You've not experienced just how smart waterproof chipboard can be.

We're certainly well pleased with our hemihydrate screed.

how long is the garage?

Yes, one system at each end of the house even tho we'll likely only ever have one stove needing direct air. Whilst you can build it stand-alone, ours is inside a standard block chimney. There's some piccys on my build thread.

what kind of flue/chimney are you having? Would SwiftAir be a possibility? Takes wind direction out of the equation... It's a smart system and I found it to be a no-brainer. https://www.schiedel.com/uk/products/ceramic-system-chimneys/swift-air/

LoftBox used to be the go-to for this kinda thing as it does all the combining and redistribution.

is indoors ever really a good place for an oil boiler tho?

What distance is the pipe covering?

it must presume there's no buffer volume then?

can we get a shot of the plumbing at the bottom of the tank plz?

yes dry, gives a clean edge to render up to, and if you're interested in ventilation there's a bit at the tile edge although I'd agree that eave and ridge are more important.

what about a continuous verge trim? https://www.kytun.com/c/slate-dry-verge/7

Yes, it will switch between heating/DHW modes as you require in the winter, and cooling/DHW in the summer with a couple of keypresses. DHW has priority as is normal, and it's up to you to work out how to give it heating and cooling demands from your stats.

I've currently only put rads in the two larger north-facing rooms as they're the two we'll be using. The two smaller rooms get the sun first thing and aren't affected so badly. But there'll be a towel rail in each bathroom. (but yes, there are pipes led into the other two rooms just in case) Cooling is easy, you just need to manually change operating mode on the controller- you can have a single mode heat/cool/dhw or your choice of two. Not difficult or hidden. It has the same kind of time&temp or weather compensating setpoints for cooling as for heating.

@nod any input here please?

Each rad is one loop on the manifold @Conor So far I'm finding the unit itself very hard to fault. Some of the terms used in the settings are a bit obscure, but no worse than some of the language the likes of Samsung use in their menus. The App works pretty well too, although I know it's really still in beta.

there's an adjustable stat under the cover.

it's a thermosphon. Cold in at the bottom, hot water rises as it's less dense. What temperature is the stat set too, and how long are you leaving it on for?

6 are SE, 6 SW, and one of those is shaded by a chimney which is the dip at 3pm. Plus sticky-out gables get in the way a bit too. But still, it's production the whole way from sunrise to sunset.
