This custom component for Home Assistant will add crucial features to your climate-controlling TRV (Thermostatic Radiator Valves) to save you the work of creating automations to make it smart. It combines a room-temperature sensor, window/door sensors, weather forecasts, or an ambient temperature probe to decide when it should call for heat and automatically calibrate your TRVs to fix the imprecise measurements taken in the radiator's vicinity.

Support for simple valve switch #1241

Open mokry opened 10 months ago

mokry commented 10 months ago

I would like to see support for basic switch relays. In my house I have only floor heating system, so only way to control the temperature is open/close valve by switching then ON/FF.

For example there is a valve on AC: https://enerzon.pl/cms/Siłownik-termoelektryczny-230V-Alpha_5_ENERZON.png And there is image how it looks connected to underfloor heating switchgear: https://technikadesign.pl/hpeciai/a8eda15c3e1f9a0aef88e913c58b3ca2/pol_pm_SILOWNIK-230V-NO-MOEHLENHOFF-32902_2.jpg

All pipes going under the floor and heating all rooms.

To control them I have to use switch entity to open/close the valve. It would be great to support switches in the Better Thermostat.

So thermal control would be by using:

Of course there could be more than one switch for valve relay ;)

might be you are looking for generic thermostat?

I am using it for an electric switch witch an electric heater. With generic thermostat it becomes a normal thermostat similar to my heaters with TRV.
