Generic thermostat doesn’t turn off after minimun cycle duration time, but after temp. change

Hi,
it looks like my heating doesn’t turn off after set min_cycle_duration (Mine is set to 20 minutes). It looks like it waits for temperature report from the sensor (which is battery powered so it’s send not often enough if the temperature is constant).

My question is, whether the generic thermostat can simply change the status after min_cycle_duration expires.

  • It may happen that the temperature sensor becomes unresponsive during the min_cycle_duration and so in the current behavior I suspect the heating would run forever.

Or do I have something setup wrongly?

Thanks a lot for input.
