Shelly trv set valve Position is Not working

Configuration
1

Hallo Community,

I try to synchronize four Shelly trv valves. My idea was to use an automation. The Problem is, that my Automation seems to be correct, but the trvs do Not react. Even with simpler automations like valve.set_valve_position to Position: 50 (for example), i have no reactions of the valve. Can someone help?
This is my Code:

`alias: Test valve
description: ""
triggers:
  - trigger: state
    entity_id:
      - number.shellytrv_84fd271be266_valve_position
conditions: []
actions:
  - action: valve.set_valve_position
    metadata: {}
    target:
      entity_id: number.shellytrv_60a423db186c_valve_position
    data:
      position: |
        {{ states.number.shellytrv_84fd271be266_valve_position | float(8)}}
  - action: valve.set_valve_position
    metadata: {}
    target:
      entity_id: number.shellytrv_60a423db186c_valve_position
    data:
      position: |
        {{ states.number.shellytrv_84fd271be266_valve_position | float(8)}}
  - action: valve.set_valve_position
    metadata: {}
    target:
      entity_id: number.shellytrv_8cf68118828d_valve_position
    data:
      position: |
        {{ states.number.shellytrv_84fd271be266_valve_position | float(8)}}
mode: Single ```
`

Thank you

Many TRVs do not accept direct positioning of the valve.
If they do, then they might also have to be set in a special working mode that disable the normal control method of the TRVs, like setpoint temperature (which usually also means the button control on the TRV too).

And please format your code correctly. It is important in order for us to help you. :slight_smile:

Thank you for your answer. I tried to format the text as described.
Have you any advise about the settings for shelly TRVs to enable direct settig of the valve?

Sorry no.
I do not know the Shelly specifically, but the Better Thermostat integration was made because hardly any thermostats support that setting.
The Better Thermostat integration try to achieve the same result by using the setpoint temperature instead, but there are tradeoffs with this approach.

Thank you, i will try to use better thermostat
