There is one more option for improved timing of hot water delivery.

I didn’t want our recirculating pump running 24/7 and we don’t keep a schedule like we did when we were working - but we hated waiting 6-7 minutes for hot water.

So, I rigged up a smart outlet on the recirculating pump. That let me control the pump with Alexa. I set up a routine that turned on the outlet for an hour when we say to Alexa, “Turn on the hot water.”

Works great.
