Is it possible to extend cycle time in Tado?
Do you know is it possible to extend time before heating cycles in any way?
For now I experience following inconvenience (especially when only ufh calls for heat and radiators are off):
- UFH calls for heat and boiler starts heating for some time. But it relatively quickly exceeds requested temperature/max flow temp. and heating stops
- boiler pump keeps working for 3 minutes without heating
- boiler starts again and the cycle continues
I wish to extend the second step (pump working between heating cycles) to 5 minutes. Do you know is it possible?

I have done that previously, for different reasons, by inserting a “delay off” timer into the pump’s electrical feed. It worked fine. Here’s the one I used:

Bear in mind that modern boilers incorporate their own pump overrun circuit but I guess making it last longer with a timer such as I’ve suggested wouldn’t be a problem . . .0 -
Thanks for your response and suggestion. Unfortunately delaying pump work won't stop boiler from starting again after 3 minutes. And this is my goal - extend time between heating cycles.0
