EcoHome Lab: Smart Radiator Valves

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After last month's discussion of smart heating controls, this time we're going deep with Smart Thermostatic Radiator Valves. We'll have a presentation from Damon Hart-Davis (Co-founder of Vestemi & the OpenTRV project) on their RadBot 'fit and forget' smart TRV system. There'll also be a space for users to share their experience of different TRV and zoning systems and most effective configurations.
