Climate + motor valve

I’m trying to make Climate controller control a “stupid” motor valve.
My plan was for the controller to check the temperature, if temp was low run valve motor for 500ms wait 30s and check again.
My problem is that it only does it once when I activate it. Apparently it believes it is still heating at the next check. How can I tell it that it is actually idle?
I expect that I should call the idle_action. But I cant figure out what the syntax is.
Thanks in advance
