christiandulle commented 1 year ago

I use 4 EQ3 Valvess in my living room and it is hard to adjust them accordingly with the offset temperature. While one radiator ist giving full power the others are cold. I expect maybe some major differences in the temperature sensor of theses valves.

Would it be possible to get more status information like actual temperature from sensor of the valve and valve opening percentage? With this information (all temperature values from the valves) it should be much easier to setup and control the offset temperature for each of them.

Kind Regards Chris

I guess EQ3 does not send actual temperature. Even CalorBT app does not show it. I have the same problem with one of three valves at home. The only way is to increase the offset, but even maximum setting does not get the valve to open enough time. You can use a Xiaomi Mijia BLE temp sensor. They are really cheap.
