It was too weak to use. It was connected but with no bars. It was probably well outside the city where they still had power

About a month ago, almost the whole city (northern Germany) lost power for about forty minutes. My signal was down to an unusable edge connection. I really don’t know what the rules are

TBF, over 15 in Germany I’ve only seen a couple of actual thermostats. The vast, vast majority use a valve on each radiator.
