Hi all,

I am currently testing the **Smart heating** app (`com.chhv.smartheating`) and I am very interested in hearing from people who are already using it in a real heating setup.

The app looks very promising, especially because of the predictive preheating, zone control, weather input and the generic `Command changed` output.

I would particularly like to know how others have implemented it in practice:

- What type of heating system are you controlling with Smart heating?
- Do you use radiators, underfloor heating, heat pump / air conditioning, or a combination?
- How do you use the schedules? Are the scheduled times interpreted as the time at which the desired temperature should be reached?
- How well does the predictive preheating work in practice?
- Does the app adapt sufficiently to different outdoor temperatures and changing weather?
- How do you process the `Command changed` output in your Flows?
- Which tags do you mainly use: `Call for heat`, `Recommended target`, `Recommended mode`, `Output strategy`, `Minimum on/off until`, etc.?
- Do you let Smart heating control the actual heating device directly through Flows, or do you have an additional layer that selects the heat source?
- How reliable has the app been over a longer period?
- Any issues with Homey load, restarts, missed commands or fallback behaviour?
- Are there things you would configure differently after using the app for a while?

In my case I am considering using it with **Honeywell Evohome radiators, Mitsubishi air conditioning and separate underfloor heating** , while letting Smart heating determine the heat demand and using Homey Flows to select the actual heat source.

I would be very interested to see examples of real implementations or Advanced Flows.

Thanks!
