Strange behaviour / boost preset / PID off

[TTLucian]

Hello. I'm having issues with the integration, can't figure out the cause. If set to boost mode with PID off the thermostat behaves as seen in the attached photo. Don't know exactly when (what version) this started happening but it was working as expected a few versions back. The heating intervals seem to be roughly 10 minutes and then stop and start again. I was was expecting for it to stop heating once it reaches the target temp and not every 10 minutes. Here's my config:

- platform: smart_thermostat
  name: Heating
  unique_id: climate.heating
  heater: switch.sonoff_heater
  target_sensor: sensor.temperature_heating_average
  outdoor_sensor: sensor.temperature_outside_average
  keep_alive: 60
  kp: 150
  ki: 0.002
  kd: 15000
  ke: 0.6
  pwm: 1800
  min_cycle_duration: 600
  min_off_cycle_duration: 10
  min_cycle_duration_pid_off: 10
  min_off_cycle_duration_pid_off: 10
  boost_pid_off: true
  sampling_period: 60
  target_temp_step: 0.1
  precision: 0.1
  min_temp: 15
  max_temp: 24
  ac_mode: false
  away_temp: 15
  eco_temp: 19
  boost_temp: 23
  cold_tolerance: 0.1
  hot_tolerance: 0.1
  preset_sync_mode: sync

I get the same behaviour with PID turned on. PID values seem to be good but the thermostat seems to be heating in 10 minute pulses. Maybe something related to min_cycle_duration??!?!

Hey @TTLucian, you may want to enable info-level logging (or even debug) for smart_thermostat and see what happens in your log:

In configuration.yaml,

logger:
  logs:
    custom_components.smart_thermostat: info

Nevermind. Found the problem. It's not related to this integration. Sorry!

Found the problem.

@TTLucian, what was your problem? I came into the same situation you described in your first post.

I have a Sonoff basic as the switch for the boiler and it was set to 10 minutes inching in the Ewelink app... 🤦🏻
