Hi all,
When I use my hive thermostat in the way I think your supposed to. I.e. set it to a desired temperature then don't touch it. The combi boiler seems to cycle on/off in short succession as can be seen in the attached image of the heating history. Does this indicate what's called short cycling? In a way it makes sense to me that the boiler is doing this if what is happening is:
-temp drops below set point
-thermostat triggers boiler
-room temp is raised beyond set point in short period of time
-thermostat triggers boiler to turn off
-temp falls
-repeat
But I'm suspicious of how frequently this is happening and how quickly the temperature is apparently changing.
Is this how it's supposed to be?
Thanks for any advice
