Corse it will work fine. No reason why the secondary
system cant have a slightly lower than normal temperature
set so it recovers from the setback in a decent time and
then stops and leaves the primary system to get the temp
back up to normal. Thats going to happen fine since the
temp difference is well within its capabilitys.

If you shut the booster off before the central area
gets up to temp and rely on the primary system
then bringing it up to temperature then, this central
area catches up quick compared to the rest of the house.

Wrong. The primary system which keeps the house at a uniform
temp when setback isnt used keeps doing that fine when you
use anything to get the central area back off setback.

Doesnt matter if thats a ductless split system,
solar, a wood stove, or even a furnace etc.

Not much heat from that booster trickling
into the rooms in that time frame.

Complete pig ignorant drivel.

Maybe the central area gets back 4 out of 5 degrees
in one half hour, and in another hour, the central area
warms up the last degree. Primary system is off.

No it aint. Thats why you set the stat on the ductless split system
to a bit below the normal temp that the primary stat is set to.

The primary system has enough capacity to maintain
the temps properly without setback, the only problem
is that it needs to use the strips to come back off setback
quickly enough. The secondary system JUST replaces
the strips and is a lot cheaper to run than the strips.

No heat to the rooms.

Wrong, as always. Same heat to the rooms
as you get without setback being used.

So you really need to think about your controls
and where exactly to put that primary stat.

No you dont, whatever works fine with no setback
will still work fine with setback and some system
to replace the strips when coming back off setback.

Rooms are no where close to warming up. Only way
to warm up rooms is to over heat the central area.

Thanks for that completey superfluous proof that you have
never ever had a ****ing clue about the basics, and why
the best you have ever managed is drunken HVAC ape.

Strips will warm the whole place up. The ductless
booster can't without overheating the 'core'.

Reams of pathetic attempt at a troll that any 2 year
old could leave for dead flushed where it belongs.
