Thermostats are made with way more granurality than needed, like body scales with 100 gram/quarter pound precision or battery testers with millivolt sensitivity. Most people have single zone HVAC with one controlling thermometer, and it's literally impossible for the whole house to have uniform temperature. And yet, most people are fine around the whole house, not just where the controlling thermometer is.
I still don't get why are you so fixated on 50°C. Why not 125°F? You'd get even more unused range if you go 0-125.
- hn993302 13d agoThe drift is consistent if your doors aren't randomly open/closed. If I set my upstairs thermostat to 73˚F, the master bedroom with a closed door is always 71˚F. Downstairs thermostat is 70˚F, office is also 71˚F. We don't care about ±1˚F when working but do care when sleeping. Also, I get some measures being pointlessly precise just cause it lines up with the units, but they deliberately add a decimal place to the displays to support ˚C, even in countries where ˚C is default. The same display could support 0.5˚F increments, but they intentionally don't. > I still don't get why are you so fixated on 50°C. Why not 125°F? You'd get even more unused range if you go 0-125. The 0-125˚F range gets used though. Usually 0-100 though. It's perfect.
