I spent a lot of time going through version 5 yesterday and here are a few things I have noticed that don't seem to be working quite right.
The heater control doesn't seem to be operating as I would expect it to. To get the my two heaters to function I had to set both of them to the same temperature for on and off. I normally set one as my primary heater with a smaller temp difference and then my secondary with a larger temp difference to come on when the primary heater cant keep up especially when it is cold outside. Additionally when the temp reading was fluctuating between 77.1 and 77 the controller was causing a rapid firing of the relays for the heaters. This really didn't make sense to me since my on temp was 77 and my off temp was 78 at the time. I would have expected the controller to turn on the heater at 77 and then leave it on till temp reached the off temp. I played around with it for a while and could not figure out a way to make it function like we would expect it to. Just not what is going on but I suspect it may be code related.
The temperature display on the left hand side of the screen doesn't seen to update the temp in real time or ever unless you go into a different screen and then go back to the home screen.
Overall I am very impressed with V5 and cant wait until all the bugs get worked out of it.
