Hi, I recently set up Better Thermostat for my Fritz Dect 301 Thermostat. I use an Aqara Temperature sensor for outside temp
It worked well so far, but now the outside temp rises above the threshold, but BT doesn’t turn if the thermostat.
I have two thermostats in the living room and both are on “MAX”
Current outside temp is almost 23°C
How can I fix this?
I use automation to turn on or off trv when summer mode is on or off. This works so far with out any issues.
I got summer mode entity from my furnace, but you might use outdoor temperature for it or probably create helper that will turn summer mode on or off.
My central heating sadly is too old to get informations.
But why use an automation if this function is built-in?
My system is also old but I have buderus furnace that is still used today and people made esp board for it to control it remotly. It’s on of the last buderus furnaces that were properly built.
I don’t know why I set up automations for all that. Probably because it wasn’t working as I expected. But with automations it does work every time. Including build in function to turn off trv when door or window is open for a certain period of time and heating is on.
I have Buderus too. Logamat GB142 or something like that. And a RC30 as remote control.
I bought this board for my furnace and it works perfectly.
Maybe you can integrate your furnace in home assistant. Check around.
I’m afraid this is not compatible with my heating.
Maybe I need to kick BT and build my own blueprint for my thermostat?
I know it is not for your furnace but look around maybe someone made similar product.
For this you can always create automations.
After an involuntary restart (power failure), I noticed that a BT had finally switched to summer mode. I used the “Forecast” as the temperature sensor for this BT and not a local temperature sensor. After I switched all other BTs to forecast and restarted the integrations, all thermostats are now in summer mode.
At least a partial success.
