This holiday feature isn't IMO very useful.

Check your household insurance - mine specifies (and i think
it is pretty common) that when the house is unoccupied that
the CH be left on a minimum temp - I think mine is 15 C.

Unless I've remembered wrongly the CM67 holiday setting
incorporates frost protection (5C?). 15C is IMO high for an
unoccupied property unless you have valuable antiques or
suchlike,

I'd also be surprised if ordinary household the insurance stated a
minimum temp. Keeping the property frost free is something else and
the TP75 when in holiday mode does that rather than always off.
Default is 6C I think but can be overridden.

It's not a feature I will use here, to much thermal lag. Did go away
one autumn before frosts set in and switched the heating off. Took 3
days for the place to stabilise again. Thick stone walls hold and/or
absorb a lot heat.
