Can you use setback thermostats with radiant in the floor hydronic heat?

Would you want to?

thanks

    No. The recovery takes too long. Pick a temp and keep it there.

    PID

    logic in Uponor 511s/tekmar equivalent makes programming do-able w/ radiant.

    Maybe

    It depends on the thermal mass. My plates and pex-al-pex does a few degrees perfectly.
