I am considering buying BeNext Heating Contol. This is an OpenTherm Z-wave controller. Has someone experience with this kit and how it works with HA?
I am considering buying it as well. The fact that it doesn’t have a zwave plus chip has stopped me.
@bvdvoorn did you buy it?
@nessinot No, I haven’t bought the BeNext.
I have a Remeha iSense thermostat and found that it is possible to switch the between day and night temperature linking the thermostat to an external relay. I am buying a simple sonoff switch and link that to the thermostat. With sonoff switch to turn on/off the boiler, Eurotronic SPIRIT Z-Wave Plus radiator thermostats and thermometers in each room I am then able to control the heating in the rooms independently.
I had contact with customer service of BeNext. They indicate that they currently do not have plans to update the Heating Control to use Z-wave Plus. They are waiting for the developments of the The Z-Wave 700 series chip before they release any new Z-Wave products.
@bvdvoorn Thanks for the tip about the Remeha iSense. I will look into that.
