Sensor on mental piece shows 1728996947092.png the room has two radiators, 90º to each other, with programmable TRV heads, and a free standing room thermostat 1728997114692.png so at moment room temp showing as 21.7, 19, 20, and 22ºC. In summer when heating not on, they all show the same, so it does seem the room does not heat even.

Room is L shaped, two new double glazed windows with radiators below them, a large patio door, a open fire, with a board in front of it to stop drafts, and a door to hall, always left cracked open so cats can go in and out. There has been an on going problem heating the room, as the micro bore is show to heat radiators, and the thermostat in hall would turn off heating prematurely, so the Wiser free standing at moment thermostat was bought and fitted in parallel with the Nest Gen 3, to keep the boiler running long enough for the room to get warm.

Theory great, but in practice where to put the Wiser, have it free standing or wall mounted, and what temperature to set it at?

Boiler is oil, so simple on or off. TRV narrow part of room Energenie, wide part of room Kasa, all well and good reading books, the diagram here makes sense, circulation3.jpgcirculation2.jpgbut not really much help with three windows (if I include the patio door) two radiators at 90º to each other, and furniture. 1729001600135.png basic shape of room, trying to work out best place for Wiser, and what temperatures to set. Sorry not very good with Visio.
