🔥 Advanced Heating Control

I’ve noticed the same. I find it’s when I update an automation, and they all “reload” and it sets them to the max temperature setting. I haven’t found a workaround yet. My post seems to have gone unnoticed :joy: anyone else noticed this? My original post is hopefully linked below.

I’ve experienced the same (it didnt happen any more), in my case the thermostat went to 30 when there was an update of HA, after the soft reboot. The only way to solve this was to completely power down proxmox so that the ramses rf usb stick (in combination with honeywell evohome) had no power and then boot it back up.

Hi there, I have two helper variables for Comfort and Eco temperature
I added those to my 25 AHCv5 Configurations.

I have one room that needs to be set to 24°C from 11.00 - 13.00.
So I added this under Heating adjustments:

- time: "11:00"
  days:
    - Mon
    - Tue
    - Wed
    - Thu
    - Fri
  comfort: "24"
- time: "13:00"
  days:
    - Mon
    - Tue
    - Wed
    - Thu
    - Fri
  comfort: "22"

Now when this adjustment triggers, all my TRVs go up from 22°C to the 24°C.
How do I get it to work so that only this one TRV has a special additional schedule without creating another helper?

the problem is that you only use 2 variables for comfort and eco for all configurations. if you set the comfort in the adjustemt, the value will overwrite the helper for the comfort variable. So in this case you have to create 2 separate variables for this room, than it will work!! But only until you will set some adjustements to one of the other configurations!..So at the end it will be better to set comfort und eco helpers for each of your 25 automations!!

Is there an option to not manipulate the comfort temperature and instead just set the thermostat to 24°C like if you would do it manually?

jep, don’t set the comfort or eco helper in the automation and only use the heating adjustment! than this should work!

Hi panhans, thanks for your reply.

Hmm, this shouldn’t happen since there is a keep alive option that force the setting of the temperature value periodicaly. Ther thermostat switches to external_2 as a backup when external data is missing for a certain duration.

I thought so, but why then the switch to external_2 as a backup? I read that the Sonoff TRVZB actually switch to internal, if from external for one (or was it two?) hours no more messages coming. In this case, the heater would still heat to some extent, although not very accurate.

Is physical change enabled?

Yes, physical change is activated - but I don’t think anyone on the thermostat has adjusted the comfort temperature. Seven radiators in seven different rooms at the same second sounds like a mission impossible :smiley:
Or do you believe the error is in the option?

Hi everyone!

I’m currently working on turning the logic of this blueprint into a native Home Assistant integration to make it even more powerful and easier to use.
The only thing I’m missing is a catchy name.

I’ve had a few ideas, but I’m worried about trademark issues:

  • Climatix (Possible conflict with Siemens?)
  • Climatrix (Potentially taken by a company in Belgium?)
  • Atmox (Like atmosphere/ambience)
  • CLIMAXIS
  • CLIMAX (maybe also in use?)

Do you have any creative or technical suggestions that capture this “dual-character” (Heating & Cooling)? I’m open to anything – let me know what you think!

I use the Aqara SRTS-A01

Hi @panhans

I think I solved the issue myself. I had apparently not defined correctly the input selector. Although I had included all my schedules in the automation, the input selector was not correctly picking up my schedules, hence the automation was getting a 24x7 ON instead of the real schedule I wanted to have in operation.

the question will be: are there 2 different ways in the future to use AHC and will they be identical (i mean the support, bugfixing etc.) or is it a different version with different support!?
If its the same i would say the name should be the same as it is now! So everyone can find it!

would it possible to integrate “smart temperature control”?

I also had physical change enabled. I think there is some error in the logic somewhere which sees a refresh as the device setting max temp, which then adjusts the automation to copy it. I have disabled physical change and have not had that problem since.
