I've got one of those units, only goes out if she can sun herself
My other unit likes to get wet, but doesn't like to be dried before jumping on my bed.
Awh xxx At the moment, my unit also has a secondary app running - namely the "Guard the Tomatoes" app.

Many of us don't have thermostats which are positioned in the best place and reliable. I don't think I have ever loved in a house where I could really rely on a single, central, thermostat to keep all the house at a comfortable temperature.
Particularly given that almost all modern radiators will have thermostatic valves, so central thermostats aren't always even present at all. We do have ne in our house, but it is near the bottom of the stairs, on the wall between the kitchen and the hallway. I don't even know if it actually works. It is probably set to something high, on the assumption the radiator valves will control the actual temperature, on a room by room basis. Just had a look at iuit, and it is set to about 18. It *might* just be that low in the hallway when the rest of the house is at a comfortable temperature, but I doubt it.
However, if the heating is on, it will be heating *some* water and pumping it round the pipes, even if the radiators aren't actually getting warm. So we turn it off when it is warm enough to not need it, and back on when it starts feeling too cold.

Yep. We had that in the last house. The fill loop was normally only connected at the inlet end (the other end was so close behind the front panel that you couldn't get the panel on with it connected), and we had to connect it first before opening the valve to top up.

That isn't a reason.
I've just ordered a load of loft insulation. Had some plumbing done which necessitated pulling the old insulation out in an area of the loft and it was just a couple of inches of manky grey itchy stuff. I'm planning on gradually working my way through the whole loft ( moving the boxes the kids left " temporarily " a few decades ago ).
Had a leak from a cracked roof tile recently and have just installed a Shelly water detector which also monitors the temperature. This set me off on a winter project and I now have wireless thermometers in all the bedrooms plus the kitchen and living room. The thermometers were only about £9 each, have a large display and keep a record of high / low plus humidity. These app is pretty good too, it gathered and graphs all the data over time and the info from the individual thermometers are visible on one screen.

Have you a link please?

And rather than fix that problem with multiple thermostats and a decent controller, UK residents keep beggaring about with timers and doing what didn't work properly last year. 🤦
Oh well, it's not like heating costs hundreds of pounds a year(!)

That network of thermometers with app is really cool.
For some reason Amazon doesn't have a link that I can find in the app. They are " Govee " brand. I also have the miniature bluetooth version without a screen. That originally lived in the hedgehog house but I repurposed it when the new fridge freezer was getting too cold and freezing the lettuce and cucumber in the chill draw. I wrapped it in cling film and moved it between shelves and compartments over a period of several days so I could compare the display in the fridge to the true temperature.
Cheers chap. I was actually looking at those ones.
