Needed the usual 3am pee-break last night. As I did my business I wondered why the radiator was creaking. I soon found out that the heating was on full.Careful analysis of the programming of the app shows that the "switch-to-timer" schedule ran as usual at 6:16 pm, and the trip temperature was still 10C (and the 'stat was reading 18).Without any logs I'm a bit at a loss to know how to find out what went wrong. And more importantly how to prevent it.As SWMBO quite rightly noted, what if it's been doing this for a while ?We use the "Smart Life" app across 2 devices to control the 'stat.

That's Tuya stuff, I think? Do you have any 'hub', or is it just a wifithermostat directly on their cloud?The wifi thermostats are quite basic (often an ESP8266 or similar) so Idoubt it keeps much in the way of logs since it doesn't have persist storagebeyond its own program flash. The cloud account thingy might log something,but I doubt the thermostat phones home to the cloud every time it decides toturn the heating on.IoT stuff is not known for its reliability...Theo

"Smart" thermoststat - logs ?

That looks nice. Was that generated on the thermostat, or by an external tool? Does the thermostat log itself, or just send current state to the logging server?

It was a perl script that scraped the data from the stat's local web interface (and external temperature from metoffice) into mySQL, then drew it for web front-end

somehow the database got trashed and I never resurrected it.
