I’m looking for a replacement of a subpar Avatto Zigbee TRV. What I don’t like is the binary operation (valve is either fully closed or fully open, resulting in fluctuations, noise and short battery life). Also having to rely on things like Better Thermostat to connect the TRV with an external thermometer is wonky at best and usually doesn’t work at all.
I see some mentions of Danfoss Ally that should have everything I would use Better Thermostat for built in (external thermometer link, proportional operation and open window sensing).
Question is: does it work and is it well integrated with HA (with Zigbee2MQTT) as of Sept 2024? I see a lot of unanswered questions that do not exactly fill me with confidence.
Any tips and experiences? Thanks!
Edit: I know it’s supported by Zigbee2MQTT. I’m asking about specific experiences and mostly the external sensor integration.
