Setting up my first HA config. I’ve ripped out my boiler controls and replaced them with a zigbee switch. I’ve installed zigbee TRVs onto all my radiators.
I have created two YAML scripts to fire up the boiler when the TRV demands, and stops the boiler when the TRV is satisfied. My TRVs I can set different temperatures by time of day, so in my study, I’ve got 20 degrees from 8-6 and 5 degrees the rest of the day - and the rest of my house, pretty much the opposite!
Challenge:
- I want to trigger the boiler to start when ANY of my TRVs demands (OR clause). I’m not sure if having multiple triggers achieves this, or if these become an AND clause
- I want to stop the boiler when ALL of my TRVs are satisfied. I can only build the AND clause in the condition section, but my understanding is that nothing actually initiates the trigger.
- Bonus - I want to assume a TRV is satisfied if it becomes disconnected. My zigbee network is currently not overly reliable to the far corners of the house, and TRVs often disconnect.
