Heating to comfort mode?

[darksside]

Hi! Please explain why there is heating when the eco mode schedule is turned on?

is this the heating up phase in anticipation of the next scheduled comfort so its at the desired temperature at the beginning of that time period?

I'm not sure. During the day, during the period from 10 to 17, the eco mode schedule is in effect. The rest of the time, comfort mode. And it is in the eco mode that some kind of forced heating is going on. Why? After all, the eco mode is needed in order not to warm. And it turns out that the comfort mode is 6 hours, and there is heating ...??

the system tries to heat up so that it achieves the comfort temperature at the start of the period it is set, rather than start to heat at the beginning of the set time period

if the system warms up slowly then the system may start the warm-up several hours before the comfort heat period is due to start.

if you want it to behave like a conventional system starting to warm up at the beginning of the comfort schedule then you need to put the IRC into manual mode and set the target temp using an analog scheduler attached to the IRC or some similar work-around
