I need an easy way of turning up the heating for an hour when the other half says it's cold (!).

So I've written this macro that puts the user offset up by 3 degrees (forcing the heating on) then an hour later it removes the 3 degrees, returning the heating profile to normal. I'm then going to run the macro either via a spare button or a IR remote control etc..

It seems to work when I test it, but the things I'm confused by are the values, only via trial and error have I got to 21.50 (this is the 3 degrees increase from 0) then 15.50 (takes it back down to 0).

So am I doing it wrong, is there a better way to achieve what I went? Any suggestions please?

Have you found a way of getting a UPS to shutdown your Cortex PC in an elegant away i.e saving the database before closing Cortex, then shutting down the PC?

If so please tell me how.
