Just wondering if you considered the need to place a check valve between your cold water supply and the "T" where the hot water loop returns to prevent back flow to a cold water faucet? Has your design had any issues with hot water reaching any cold water faucet?
I'm just wondering do you need bleed valves when you have faucet and tub connections? I understand a bleed valve for a closed loop hydronic system. But bleed valves seem redundant, when you just open the faucet to the system to air out.
I zip tied it to the hot water outlet from the water heater, about 10 feet down stream. It is supposed to ‘learn’ water usage patterns and then run only when needed, but as far as I can tell none of that works. It just runs every 10 min, day and night.
Every modern house should have looped hot.. no excuse to not have such a simple and inexpensive solution installed during original construction.
Yeah, anyone with a finished basement just doesn’t have the option to do this; even for me with an unfinished basement it wasn’t a trivial task.

Did you wire that thermostat to one of your pipes or did you wire it direct so it circulates all the time
