Rather than having a bang-bang thermostat directly sensing the indoor air, the odr demands heat pump operation based on the tank and outdoor temperature. When the zone is warm enough or not in use, the flow can be cut off. Meanwhile, the tank will radiate some heat on its own to offset the natural loss.

The main goal is to have long outdoor unit cycling and more even heating of the zone.
Would you be using a Fujitsu or similar inverter HP or just an on/off one?
