electrical underfloor heating

["holymarydudderogod" <yahoo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi there,

Is anyone using Devimats or a similar electrical underfloor heating
system?  If so what do people think of them, do they work well or
would radiators make more sense?  The house is pretty small so it
might be powerful enough to heat the whole space, and currently
there's central heating so it won't have to integrate with anything else.

I get the impression that with a water-based underfloor system you
pretty much leave it on, thus negating the whole need to have
sophisticated HA controls for it, but with electric I assume it has to
be turned on and off like a 'normal' heating system, is this right?

And finally, if anyone is automating control of such a system, what do
you use for this purpose?

Thanks,
Kathryn.
