Thank you!
Where can i turn on Adaptive Mode in z2m?
as stated in the official release notes for 1.4.4, there is a timeline for other platforms to implement this
4.3. Gateway and Platform support timeline
- Already Supported: ZBBridge-P (V3.0.0) / ZBBridge-U (V1.18.0)
- Feb 15: NSPanel Pro (V4.4.0)
- Mar 31: HA (Z2M) / iHost (V2.10.0)
- To be confirmed: HA (ZHA)
anyone has any idea what the impact on the battery might be? I can imagine that modulating constantly requires more power then turning off and back on every few hours.
I guess the battery life will be similar to what I already get with providing adaptive control by constantly changing the min/max valve positions from HA (Versatile Thermostat integration). Rechargeable AA batteries went from fully charged to 20% (self-reported by the TRV) in exactly 3 months - but to be honest, it stays off most of the time.
One thing to keep in mind is that during the adaptive modulation, the changes are likely going to be small, just few steps, while with a full on/off, the valve travels all the way every time.
this needs to be merged into master, then we need to wait for the next main release of z2m.
