Thermometers

Some of us give a temperature readingwhen we post.

Interesting to know where your thermometers are.

I have three thermometers. One is in the kitchen on the CH controller. It is on a worktop not in direct sunlight. I have another one in the kitchen. A stick thermometer
which ishung on the wall. Again this is not in direct sunlight. Gives similar readings to the CH controller.

The third one is upstairs in the little room where my computre is. This faces he window so it will get sunlight in the morning. At the moment it is reding 18C.

One is on the CH display and that sits on my desk out of direct sunlight. I use it to turn the CH on or off. Another is a clock-cum-weather station in the lounge. It has an outdoor unit so gives indoor and outdoor temperatures. The indoor readings are very much the same as the ones from the CH display.

The bedroom alarm also shows temps but I am not sure how accurate it is given that I always have the transom open to get in fresh air.

When I give a temperature reading on here, I get it from an app on my phone which gives me the outside temperature. We have a thermometer on the central heating which obviously gives the inside temperature. It is in our living room and once it gets below 15c it’s time to put on the heating.

Exactly how you do it Osc, except our thermostat is in the hallway :)

We have two outside, front and back and the difference at the moment is 12C :shock:

The one in the house is one of those fancy liquid one's, with glass balls and a little doofer underneath, and at the moment, we are about 21C inside.

Not having an app for anything, I look at the weather forecasts.

Fairly digital house here, so we have digital thermometers in the lounge, playroom, the 2 offices, and one each in the bedrooms. We use them for automations like turning on a heater locally or the central aircon.
At the moment it’s 21 outside, 24 in G’s office and our bedroom, the other 2 bedrooms are 23 and 22, playroom 23, my office 22. You can probably work out room positioning based on that. The sun is out and is only shining on one corner of the house at the moment.

MetService says high of 25 so I expect inside to be much hotter later on.
Everything happens for a reason
