Reading up on this it sounds like setting this as low as possible is the best option in terms of reducing gas usage - to try...

    Which operating mode for Viessmann 100-W?

    I'm about to get a Viessmann 100-W B1KF and plan to have it hooked up to a Tado smart thermostat system. I'm assuming that as the Tado supports OpenTherm, to get that benefit, I should ask the installers to make sure it is in the operation mode highlighted below (from the 4 available)? I've...
