Perfect Heating Automation with Sonoff TRVZB

intresting reading!

@berkans: as i am running a heatpump i am seeking just a possibility to open or close the valve on my sonoff trv - no need for anything in between ON and OFF. i am going with the climate-entity to set it to OFF and HEAT … is this correct or can i set the valve-opening directly?

Hi,
I’m looking for the best way to regulate the temperature using this valve.
Currently, I use the valve in “Heating” mode. Node-RED sends the desired value with this parameter “occupied_heating_setpoint”, but the valve operates in a fully open or fully closed state, which is not very efficient.

Has anyone tested or explored the possibility of regulating the progressive opening of the valve using the valve_closing_degree parameter?
With an external regulator and either the TRVZB probe or an external probe, could this parameter be used to progressively open the valve to achieve the desired setpoint temperature?

Yes, I’m using Versatile thermostat for that. It has progressive control and it can use external temperature sensor.
