I own 6 of the mentioned Eurotronic spirit thermostats - the Z-wave version of them (there is also a Zigbee version). They show erratic behavior to a point where you have to say they just don’t work properly. So, if you’re planning on using them be aware that they might not work as expected (or adv…

Doing the calibration is not forcing you to abandon your scheduler… I’m using Schedy in AppDaemon for that. It just restores the correct state if necessary. And it even has retries in case commands (or their responses) get lost. Happens quite often in my setup. Here’s my automation for recalibrati…

Has anyone tried to use the Spirits with the OpenZwave Beta Addon? Not sure whether it works and whether the valve control is possible with it. I’m still running an older version of HA as dedicated zwave instance alongside my HA Supervised installation.

Nope. I don’t want to run Docker on my machine, and the new beta integration unfortunately requires it. I’m really hoping they will scrap the docker idea for the 1.0 (haha) release.

I had Schedy in use, but I was never really satisfied with it. OpenZwave is also still on my todos, but I think I’ll get back to that when I have a lot of time. Maybe tomorrow in my home office. :joy:

Guys I’m sure you are experienced with trv so you could know the answer. what about using AC (ie 230V) powered TRVs, driven by some smart relay (like Shelly1) based on temperature in room? I mean dumb trv driven by home automation. Can you comment on such approach?

You should create a separate thread for hardware recommendations. But what you’re describing could be controlled with something like this: [image] Generic thermostat Turn Home Assistant into a thermostat or more advanced with a PID controller: […

So, I’ve just received a “new” Eurotronic Spirit from Amazon. What I can already tell is that the firmware version is exactly the same as it was before (application_version: 0.16). Now I’ll have to wait a couple of days/weeks (depending on the weather) to test it again, but I don’t have high hopes …

How do you know it’s a “new” one? Is there a manufacturing days on them? If not is there a way to identify this from the S/N? Planning to get some and is like to be able to be clear on my request when I message the seller to ensure I get some from the right batch

I don’t. Hence the quotation mark. I only hope this is a fixed one since the info I have is that issues were between 2019 Sept and 2019 Dec, and already 10 months passed by. But I surely cannot know. It does have a S/N (in the battery compartment) but there’s no publicly available list of the wrong…

Would you mind sharing your heating control script? And how you manage the time-scheduling (German is perfectly fine for me too)
