Algorithm selection

Quick decision guide

• AI Time Based: the first choice for most homes.
• Normal: stable and simple fallback.
• Aggressive: faster warm-up, at the price of more overshoot.
• MPC Predictive: aims at a steady arrival rather than a fast one.
• PID Controller: responsive control with auto-tuning.
• TPI Controller: simple proportional-time behaviour.

Decision matrix

Need	Best mode
Easiest start	AI Time Based
Fastest warm-up	Aggressive
Lowest overshoot	MPC Predictive
Strong disturbance handling	PID Controller
Very simple control model	TPI Controller

Advanced note

MPC and PID both gain a lot from a device that supports direct valve control.
