Algorithm selection

Quick decision guide

  • AI Time Based: Best first choice for most homes.
  • Normal: Stable and simple fallback.
  • Aggressive: Faster warm-up, potentially more overshoot.
  • MPC Predictive: Best efficiency and overshoot prevention.
  • PID Controller: Advanced control with auto-tuning.
  • TPI Controller: Simple proportional-time behavior.

Advanced note

MPC and PID benefit strongly from direct valve control capable devices.
