This is why my correction factor is also 6: the probe is placed in my kitchen (not ideal but it is the only place that was accessible after all the work). In addition to the heat from the stove, there is also a towel radiator, but also all the clarinets in my installation (and it gets hot!).
For the moment, the functioning and the temperatures in the house suit me, hoping that this quasi-continuous functioning of the boiler will not lead to an overconsumption of pellets.
There is also the electricity consumed by the boiler to be taken into account with this permanent operation!

Hello,
it is not the almost continuous operation which would make an overconsumption of granules - on the contrary, the on / off would consume more, et in granules et in electricity. It is the losses of the house which make the consumption ... ie. its degree of insulation (or non-insulation) ...
edict: see the number of starts on 24h / h burner - if the house pulls bcp above, the stops would indeed be quite short

Quite the same opinion.
Of two things one:
- or it is too hot in the house, and we can optimize the settings to reduce consumption
- or the weather is just good and it is not the boiler that should be looked at, but the calorie leaks; the boiler is only struggling to replace what is lost to maintain the thermal level!
So no overconsumption linked to operation.
But perhaps linked to insufficient insulation!

... or the boiler is very well sized and the settings to the point to obtain very long operating cycles ...
... or live in a house with plasterboard everywhere, plastered or clad exterior walls ...
Everything is a question of compromise!
Regarding the insulation, you can go take a look at the restoration of my house here: http://lavalette.over-blog.fr/
The updates are old but the work has been finished since!

We misunderstood each other.
I was reacting to the idea of overconsumption.
For a top boiler, with a very high efficiency, the boiler consumes as pellets only what the house loses as calories.
Basically, regardless of the duration of the cycle (except extreme situations; therefore if they are "average").
So if the interior temperature is "just right", your boiler will consume what it takes to compensate for the loss of calories in the house ...
And if there is overconsumption, it is not the boiler that should be looked at. Or its cycles. It is the house.
After, if it's perfect, all the better for you. We are not going to look for problems where there are none!
It is you who questions about overconsumption (or who fears it?).
That said, for your information, what is the reading of your meters:
- number of operating hours?
- number of starts?
- average cycle time?
- number of ignitions?

What a job, indeed, this hut is huge! (and I found his description there)
We understand better that an okofen can finally make long cycles. I just have to enlarge to stop whining on my steps / stops.
You do not talk about the insulation on the blog, on the other hand we see that there is inertia - out of curiosity I would still try to deactivate the room sensor a few days to see if the heating curve is good at first. Have you transformed the data of your usb key (.csv) into a graph to see?
When I compared my graphics at the time, I could better see the action of the room sensor (and that confirmed my impression - at home with the inertia I disabled it; workshop, with ITI and solar gain, I use it occasionally)

Regarding the insulation of the house:
- on the roof, sandwich panels 180mm thick (coeff 5 at the time)
- all the north walls are doubled L2V 200mm (coeff 5 also)
- the south and west walls are lined with L2V 150mm
- the east walls are not lined because they are left in exposed stone.
- the windows are all den double glazing 4/16/4 argon.
- the floors are on cellars and the heated floor panels are 80mm thick.
Here it is.
I will communicate all the data collected in a few days to have a representative history
