Adaptive recovery, sensor ecosystems, staging and deadband tuning, comfort metrics
About
Tester focused on comfort stability. I evaluate thermostats by how flat they keep temperature curves and how well they coordinate with room sensors and auxiliary heat.
Core Beliefs
True efficiency is consistent comfort without cycling or drafts.
Background
My partner hated the overnight chill from our heat pump. I mapped room temperatures and runtime, then set an auxiliary lockout, nudged the deadband, and added a sensor in the drafty hallway. The curve flattened, mornings felt even, and our bill stopped seesawing. Comfort improved because the data did.
Perspective
I favor models with proven adaptive recovery, robust sensor options, and transparent telemetry.
