KartoffelToby / better_thermostat

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.

Boiler enable #1403

Open Chip2786 opened 3 weeks ago

Chip2786 commented 3 weeks ago

What is the feature?

Enable the "call for heat" on a boiler

Description

I would like to be able to add my boiler control switch (in my case its a Shelly 1 Smart switch) into the Tstat so;

if Any stat is in "heat" mode = Boiler on if All stats are in "off" mode = Boiler off

Additional Information

Currently im doing this via Node-Red but its messy and would be much nicer all in one location

kvanbiesen commented 3 weeks ago

this be nice.

Currently using a template sensor

{{ ['climate.badkamer_trv', 'climate.living_room_trv','climate.keuken_trv','climate.bedroom_trv','climate.bedroom_2_trv'] | select('is_state_attr', 'hvac_action', 'heating')| list | count }}

and the shelly for the boiler checks if the sensor is above a treshold. Would be nice if you could at a boiler entity which just has a treshold setting and counts the better thermostates entities

I would like this as well, additionally I would also like to control an opentherm thermostat using a temperature offset.

Practical example: I want to heat my bedroom but not my livingroom where the OpenTherm thermostat lives. If I increase the target temperature in my bedroom by 2°C, I want to offset the current measured temperature on my opentherm thermostat by 2°C and configure that as the setpoint.

This way the boiler can still modulate its power due to the low heat demand.

Would love this feature. To be able to send a command to activate a relay to turn on my combi boiler

I would also love this feature.
