Heating system for European style radiators with Electronic valves such as Eurotronic Spirit Z-Wave Plus

Configuration

Getting into the cold period I am thinking about heating control again.

So far there is shedullers available to set heating times and times to lower temperatures.
I am using
https://github.com/nielsfaber/scheduler-card
Problem is that it takes certain time to heat up a room to a target temperature. This time differs based on several factors such as outside temperature volume of room, etc. Important is as well what temperatures and sun conditions may be during the day. Idealy a room would rech target temperature right at a given time in most efficient way. Means ramp up curve etc needs to be considered.

There is a company in Germany offering a quite sophisticated system to achieve ideal heating set up.
https://www.controme.com/
Anybody realised something similar or at least something going into this direction?
Heating is some of the most energy consuming tasks in a houes so a nice system for HA would be highly welcome.

As mentioned we do have Eurotronic Z-Wave Spirits in all rooms

Beside of the radiator valves we do have Shelly with temperature sensor ad on to measure temperatures at the central heating oil based system (Vorlauf/Rücklauf) as well as outside temperatures on all sides of the building. Using weather input would bring aditional factors into play.

There is entities availabel in ha which would allow to do something similar to Controme. Hardware available for ha is in my opinion much more powerfull than what Controme is usually using.

Sorry asking crazy questions but a working solution would be a real big step forward especially at given high oil and gas prices we are seeing now…

The Feature Request category is for proposing new features in Home Assistant. Your post is a general question about how to manage a heating system more efficiently and isn’t a Feature Request. Please consider changing your post’s category to Configuration.

Hi Tara,

I was asking myselve what it might be. Yea I can move it but as I refferenced to an existing project of another vendor it is quite a big thing which I think is something like a general feature but yes you might be right…

Hello,
someone here has already presented a similar project. I would also be interested in such an “intelligent” control. At the moment I control the heating with the scheduler and Fritz thermostats and several sensors.
