Optimum setting on Salus thermostat

[whatsthenews]

Hi.
Just had this therm' installed and mostly we have it set on manual as we're at home a lot of the time.
I decided I would try the "optimum" start setting for when it's on Auto and set to come on in the morning.
I think I've set it for optimum start and as a test I set time period 2 for 09.50 and temp at 23.5c
The thermostat is flashing Optimum and the gas flame is flashing but the boiler hasn't come on.
Temperature is 20c.

Is it something to do with the time/temperature setting for time period 3?

OK- now 10.38 and the boiler has fired.
Temp is 19.5
I have period 3 set at 1200 with a temp of 19.5.

I recently had a Salus thermostat fitted to and it was doing a similar thing coming on when it wanted. If you look on YouTube there’s good videos explaining how to set them if you’re in doubt you’ve set it wrong, could be worth checking.

Thanks. I'll do that. It had obviously registered that it had been set to Optimum as it was flashing. I think it's more likely that I don't know what I'm doing! Instructions are what you might call basic.

No such setting on any thermostat.

Optimum for me, is not for you.

Ffs, I can be sat in a pair of shorts with heating off but wife with fleecy pj's, dressing gown and blanket over her still wants heating on.

I'm assuming from your comment that you don't know what the "optimum" setting is then? It can be used with any set temperature .
