Following the formula T= Nominal Temp + 5/6*Hys + cooling Diff.
T=24.9+(5/6*0.15)+0.2
Should give give a stable temp of 25.2?
And it does.
What do I need to change to give me a temp swing of 0.5c as at the moment my chiller is running on/off all day to maintain my desired 25.2.
Id prefer a swing of 0.5c and then dropping back down to 25.2 so chiller runs for longer
Hysteresis 0.2 Cooling difference 0.4
regard pit
Would give me a static temp of 25.7? Using that formula?Quote:

If you're looking to make the tank cooler at night, use the noctural change feature in the temperature probe settings page.
This will allow you to specify the night-time temperature change (0.5C) and the time at which this change should occur.
I don't want it cooler. I just view half a degree as an acceptable swing before something, whether heating or cooling is performed.
I'm thinking my best bet is a virtual probe for heating, and use the actual probe for cooling?
Unless someone can give me a formula for a desired temp of 25.2, swing of 0.5 either way, but actual heating/cooling to that 25.2. Everything I have tried either leaves me sitting higher than desired or at my level but with chiller running every 5 mins
