Weather compensation

  This is a great idea. This would help with slow heating systems such as underfloor heating greatly. On cold days with little sunlight being able to start the underfloor heating earlier so that temperature is good for the morning. Also, turning off the underfloor heating early when it's going to get warmer / sunny can make a big difference and currently causes overshoots on my target temperature.

  I agree for the reasons above and in addition, I'm looking to use a Bivalent system.
  An ASHP alone is not an option for our property so we need to keep the oil boiler for when we get a 'cold snap'. I therefore need a way of controlling when the oil boiler would come on.
  I like Heatmiser kit so would be great to see a weather compensatory as a product.

  I would like to add some detail of how this could be done and the benefits:
  Implementation: This can be done solely server side and be an option on the app to opt in. If the user opts in then the Optimun start could changed and pushed down to the Stat based on the local weather. The roll out would via an update to the app.
  Benefits: All existing users and allow improved sales as this question comes up a lot esp as Geo location is supported. Climate change contribution.

  Having lots of glass in out house having an external temperature would be a great help and improve the flexibility of the app

  100% agree with the above and the general move to Boiler Plus. Adding some sort of weather compensation (even if over internet forecasts) would be a great way to make an existing system more efficient. I imagine a solution exactly like AP has suggested.

  This 'could' be a great benefit depending on how well the algorithm is written & performs. It could also be a pain. If you do this, please also include a toggle button in the app to turn Weather Comp on or off. Thanks. (Love most of your kit, by the way)!
