I’m fairly new to Home Assistant and have been trying to integrate a few automations. My current system is Home Assistant Core running on an unRAID docker, as well as a Zigbee2MQTT and MQTT docker (and ZHA running for my Z2M unsupported wafer leds). I have Adaptive Lighting running and working great as well as a motion sensor for some lights.
Recently I set up a themostat for my bedroom electric heater. It’s an in-wall 2000W, 240V heater that I’m controlling with a Sonoff ZBMINI and a separate 240V, 30A relay. The temperature sensor being used is an Aqara temp/humidity sensor. The yaml config is as follows:
I’ve had it running for 2 days, and it does a great job maintaining the set temperature. Except for around 4am where the thermostat is actually switched “off”. This happened 2 days ago when I first made the automation, and last night. The Aqara sensor still reports fine, so I’m not sure what the issue is. No other automations use the ZBMINI. Any thoughts?
I’m sure you’ll get this working. If the clunk of the relay ever becomes a noise issue in a bedroom, there are no-neutral line voltage thermostats that integrate to HA. Eg. Sinope.
The advantage of being quiet comes with partial wattage modes as well. At the cost of no neutral parasitic usage when not heating.
I actually have the relay down by the breaker panel, so its just as quiet as the normal heater. Going to eventually get rid of it and add my regular boiler to that room.
That makes sense. After a HA restart the generic thermostat comes back in OFF state and sets the defined target temperature. Normal behavior. That is, what I see happening there.
