I have often thought it would be useful for monitoring purposes to be able to see how many hours the central heating is running for on a day by day basis. This would show the effect of thermostat settings, weather, occupancy, etc.
With a conventional system guess some sort of clock wired across the pump could show the hour run = but not so easy with a combi where the pump is used in HW mode.
An add-on wireless module would be good to integrate with the room thermostat = logging demand duration.
Is this a daft idea - or does it have any merit and has anyone tried it?
