Re: Re: Automating a combi boiler

[Dave McLaughlin <dave@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Brian,

The boost feature that I added is a real 'boost' to the system as I can now
hit this button late at night when I am working late on the computer or
watching TV and not have to worry about switching it off again when I go to
bed.

The other good bit about the system that I like is the ability to control
it via SMS from my phone. Coming home to a nice warm house is much better
than before where I would feel cold until it reach a comfortable level. All
these things you can do when you have control of the system.

I look forward to the documents when you finally get time to yourself. Work
can be a right pain at times  :o)

Dave...
PS.. We hit our broadband trigger at the weekend, so I will be putting my
boiler control on the net next. With lots of security, mind!!!
