Surprised the thing is accurate enough to stay constant for 6 hours.

Are you controlling the heating already? Or just reporting temperature?

Just reporting temperature. I don't know how accurate those things are - spec says +-0.5 C but I imagine that's systematically out by some offset?

Controlling the boiler should be easy - as I understand it the thermostat is literally just a switch that connects two nodes on the boiler which passes current when the temperature is below whatever's on the dial. I think it's 24V though so not quite as easy as just plugging something into a GPIO pin but not got that far yet.

You've got a fair bit of precision too, I'd be surprised if it stayed that steady? I don't know though. How did the tweets on the 13th get through, they don't have any temperature at all?

It's not much more difficult! A nice relay will do the trick. Will you write a proper controller?
