Heating control suggestions

[HarvsG]

Hi there I don't use your heating control blueprint (yet). I have a combi boiler and ZigBee TRVs.

In my automations I have the following 2 features that I can't live without.

I only trigger TRV temperature changes if the boiler is actually on. Otherwise you drain battery moving the valves when there is no flow.

Before bed I preempt if the heating is going to come on overnight, if it is I open the bedroom TRV valves in anticipation by setting the target temperature high so that I am no woken by the noise of the valves opening in the night.

Keep valves quiet

  The TRVs (smart valves on the radiators) make noises and can wake sleeping
  people, as such we want to anticipate if the valves are like to open or close
  overnight and set them in anticipation

Only trigger when boiler is actually running

  If the heat comes on after 4pm or is already on at 4pm then re-balance the
  radiators
