Feature Request, Hot water times to shorter 15 or 20 min intervals

[a_nd_s]

I've seen a number of requests for shorter interval/timing for hot water on this forum. However I've not seen a proper product manager reply to such feature requests.   This would be an immensely useful feature for your customers to save energy.

We used to have hot water on for an hour in the a.m and and hour in the p.m.  this used to use 11 or 12kwh of gas per day.  I could not quite figure this out as a 17kw boiler should heat a 200L water tank from 40 to 60 degrees in about 16 mins.   So I cut the time down to 30min intervals and halved the usage to 6kwh per day and noticed no discernable difference in hot water availability.  The cylinder stat is set to 60 degrees - I wonder how accurate these are - and of course there is a loop of pipework being heated too.

So we need to have control of hot water heating down to the 5 minute level, this will help people save energy.  All you have to do is allow it in the app and web app.  I noticed you can input a 5 minute time - but it will not save it. 

Please enable this.
