[QUOTE="Reptech, post: 559388, member: 38266"] Yes, it runs on when the Comfort On period ends late in the evening. (last night the 1.5 hour test which went OK. I then set the boost to run for 2 hours and that also worked correctly and the fan promptly shut off at the exact time it should. Next test was to set it back to the full comfort run time which I did last night so it should have taken in the correct energy needed) Its quite a complex system. The unit looks at the room temperature that has been set by the user (say 21C) at a midnight when the E7 kicks in. Based on that setting it then looks at the actual room temperature at midnight and the current core temperature at midnight and also the time it will have to run through the day (the total number of Comfort On periods) to maintain the room at that temperature during those periods. When Comfort On time comes around if the room is below the set point (21C) the fan will run. The fan seems to be continuously variable in its speed from virtually nothing to a more intense flow to bring a room up quickly to temperature. It has a separate option to to use 'Fan Only' or 'Fan + Boost' which can switch one of three 1.1kW elements on from the peak supply to increase heat output or maintain heat if the core is low. Comfort Off is the mode that should kill all processes and the heater should go silent. It doesn't matter then if the room cools, the heater fan stays off. Manual boost mode overrides that and can be set to run for 1, 2, 3 etc hours. That turns the fan on for that length of time. Again an option to use the element if wanted by the user is available. Another useful but slightly hidden option is to add in hourly increments of additional charge to the automatically calculated values. I have that set at 1 hour. It gives a slightly hotter heater and less intense fan use needed. You might find the attached interesting as it shows the info screens and what is monitored. [/QUOTE]
