Can someone please create a guide one how to get your gateway (both v1 and v2) secret that is working in 2026?

I also need It please
Are you saying the instructions on the wiki do not work? What is the issue?
I connect to wiser Network wifi and i get 192.168.200.x and i open the browser with the ip 192.168.200.1 and It doesnt work
What about http://192.168.200.1/secret ?
Then you need to get the Hub connected back to the same network as Home Assistant and put its normal ip address and the secret into the integration config.
Hello, I’ve been using this wiser integration for a while now for controlling the boiler and the radiators thermostats, and it’s been great, the sheduling works very well.
However, one small issue is that for one of my radiators, probably not directly related to the integration, but maybe someone knows the answer.
When it’s time to turn everything on, for example if the target temperature is set to 20.0c, the boiler will start and the thermostat will open as expected. When the thermostat reaches 20.0c, the boiler will stop. So far so good, but when the temperature lowers to 19.9c, the boiler will turn on again, for a brief period (4-5 minutes) until the temperature reaches 20.0 again, and then stop. This process will repeat many times, and it’s a bit annoying because my boiler is a bit noisy when it starts.
I know the main problem is the temperature sensor is in the thermostat and therefore right next to the radiator, but is there something I can do to avoid this? A setting or trick, so for example make the boiler to stop only when temperature reaches 20.2c, and then don’t start again until temperature lowers to 19.8c
You could replace the Wiser TRV with a standard TRV. Having the boiler turn on for one radiator is terrible for efficiency and hence cost.
Well, there’s never a single radiator on, there 2 others (corridor and bathroom) that don’t have a TRV at all, so they heat when boiler is on.
The idea of the smart TRV at home is that we have a spare bedroom that is seldom used, and the lounge one that should be off during the day while I work in the bedroom/office.
would be usefull to know your boiler make and model
do you have a seperate pump to send water round system
sounds like it is going fast so heat cannot be radiated from rads
what is you boiler set at , try setting around 60’c and reducing this ,
Well, I’ll offer my experience…
As far as I know, there is no adjustment within the Wiser system for ‘hysteresis’, which is what I think you are looking for.
From your description, the main problem is not the temperature sensor, it is a noisy boiler?
But, I will relate my expereince of having a new boiler and later, adding the Wiser system into a 25 year old house. You may get some pointers from this:-
Prior to the Wiser system being added, I noticed the ( new ) boiler coming on every 10mins for a short period, to maintain a room temperature. The room temperature was set by a Honeywell programmable thermostat. It worked well, but I wanted ‘more control’, including possible ‘zone temperature control’ and assumed the 10minute cycling would change.
So I added a Wiser control.
I later found out, this 10 minute cycle is/was a standard arrangement when a gas fired boiler is used in a hot water central heating system. Introducing the Wiser system did not change it. But, Wiser does have a setting to select between gas fired, or oil fired boilers. If that is changed from the default ‘gas’ to ‘oil’, the cycle changes to a 20 minute period. So that could be your first change.
I did many experiments with pump flow rate and boiler water temperature and concluded, the water flow rate was best set to pump maximum speed and boiler temperature was best left at 70C.
If you don’t have a condensing boiler, you may even benefit from raising the temperature even higher. The idea there is, the higher radiator temperature raises the room temperature more quickly, causing the system to overshoot a little more. You should get your increased ‘hysteresis’ that way…
What I found does not work, is low flow rate, low temperature water, in a house with micro-bore piping, designed around 25 years ago for a typical 70C boiler temperature. The small bore pipes cannot remove the heat from the boiler fast enough with low flow and the radiators are not large enough to dissipate heat with low temperature water. A massive lose - lose situation, giving increased boiler cycling.
The only other thing I would add regarding zoning: People…
It’s impossible to control rooms (or even different areas of a house) at different tempertures with people walking in and out of rooms.
And people leaving room doors wide open!
Well x@#!$$%!
Hope that helps…
Helps indeed, thank you for your response. My boiler is a combi Vailant EcoTec plus 832. It is noisy when it starts only, it makes some loud click noises in rapid succession, and that’s why is annoying to have it start and stop all the time, specially when I’m trying to sleep or concentrate.
The heating water temperature is set to 65c, simply because I read in several places that it’s more economical no to set the water temperature too high, and wait a bit longer for the radiators temperature to reach the target.
I didn’t know this 10 minute cycle is a standard, that means it will happen even if I had no TRV in the radiators. So there’s not much I can do apart from trying to change to the oil setting as you mentioned.
