    Heating. I have an old hot hot air system that measures temperature in ‘comfort levels’ rather than temp and apparently it doesn’t work with any smart thermostat systems…

      How does it sense demand?

      We have an older system here wired to an old thermostat that uses a bimetallic strip to click on/off.

      Putting a shelly relay in parallel with it was trivial.

        It has a thermostat with a strip that clicks but that doesn’t seem to be the only way that it decides to do stuff. I don’t want to keep it either way, not many people service it, its massive and takes up a ton of room in my kitchen, its loud and the heat isnt retained.
