Open jseebeck opened 3 years ago

3 years ago I have the same problem, though most of the time I need to power cycle multiple times until the TRV correctly closes again. This only happens with the one spirit that is installed directly without the use of any of the adapters. (All my other valves are installed on Danfoss systems)

3 years ago I’ve experienced the same problem. This is very unfortunate.
My main reason for a smart thermostat is to save on energy costs while still having a comfortably heated room based on presence detection or schedules.
When the valve suddenly stays open continuously, this is doing the opposite and leads to higher energy costs.

3 years ago This is what happened to me as well. I realized a couple of days ago that I already have the same or more energy costs created this year on some of the thermostats as the whole last year. This is really annoying and I wrote Eurotronic to find a solution. There are so many issues with this TVR that it is broken beyond repair.

3 years ago I´m not sure if it´s a valve thing in my case, but as I don´t use an offset value (default / 0), the TRV simply does not fully close when target temperature has been reached - which leads to overheating.
Not sure if it´s a "working as designed" thing or really an issue. At the end it feels like "something doesn´t work"...
Valve level when target temperature has been reached for minutes:
hvac_modes:
- auto
- heat
- 'off'
min_temp: 7
max_temp: 32
current_temperature: 22
temperature: 20
valve: 51
On one of my TRVs I have the issue that for some reason the valve suddenly does not close properly which results in constant overheating. This happens every 1-2 weeks. After power cycling the valve position seems to be recalibrated and the TRV continues to work as expected. Batteries are fresh and the device is mounted tightly. So these reasons can be excluded.
I noticed that by default the TRV opens and closes the valve automatically from time to time for maintenance reasons. I think it is worthwhile a thought to trigger the valve position calibration which is done when power cycling also during this procedure.
