Better Thermostat and the window sensor

Third party integrations

Hey community,

I’m using the Better Thermostat custom integration to wrap my Aqara E1 radiator Thermostat. Additionally I’ve added a window sensor to stop heating of the thermostat automatically.

What I don’t understand: When the temperature in the room is already higher than the target value of the thermostat, I would expect that the Thermostat is completely closed. The entity is showing idle. But when I then open the window I hear the Thermostat working a lot and closing the valve for seconds. Why is this happening? The valve should already been closed, isn’t it?
That’s not a big issue, since the heater is cold, it’s not heating before. But I don’t understand it and also, I expect a much higher battery consumption from that behavior. Do you know that issue and maybe can explain it?

Thanks a lot!
