Taking out the “” and also making this change seems to have made it quieter

Did this happened after update? What version of HA are you using?
Did you tried this version of same blueprint?
Sync TRV with external tempature sensor
I also revised the logic - works better for me
{{states(temp_sensor)|float(0) | round(1,'half') - (state_attr(valve,'current_temperature')|float(0) | round(1, 'half') - state_attr(valve,'local_temperature_calibration')|float(0) | round(1, 'half'))}}
I don’t like the logic on that one. If I read it correctly it only triggers whenever the external sensor keeps its state for 15 minutes straight. My sensors tend to oscilate +/- 0.1C sometimes. And it will also prevent it from triggering when the room is beeing heated, it will only calibrate once the temperature is stable.
I’m using 2021.10.3, can’t tell how it was before the update since I’ve only just starting using this blueprint.
I gave up on 0.1 tbh. It kept over triggering the TRV and battery life suffered. I have one I wrote based on the bruvv one. I have mixed them together with my own logic and now it seems much better. No moaning about already running automation and now I have also fixed the errors with this one
I can share my complete blueprint if anyone is interested.

Just my 5cts, though I did it with node-red, I can share the idea here: to avoid useless updates of calibrations which drawn battery, I also trigger action on both internal and external temperature changes (no matter if 0.1C difference), but I do compare newly calculated calibration (rounded as well to closest 0.5) with current calibration value, if same then I just skip the update… not more than 15 updates per day in my case, and all fully justified…
You are probably be able to add this to your condition

Revised with check for change (i.e. don’t send if difference is still 0) - but still uses the timer.

A version that checks when the external sensor changes state can be found here : Sync TRV with external tempature sensor

looks quite nice.
not a fan of events?
@Neil_Brownlee, awesome, thanks! There were just few small problems, temperature and climate_device were used, instead of temp_sensor and valve.
Fixed it here: https://gist.github.com/mmackowiak/84092d0863d3b7f6330b96bd64fcb267
none of the version above are working here also using the Tuya ts0601. and a Xiaomi WSDCGQ11LM. temp sensor, but I down see the temperature of the valve changing after creating an automaton with this blueprints, I’ve tried all versions above.
I don’t understand. You are saying it’s not working but you can see temperature changing? So which is it?
Check if your “local temperature calibration” attribute is changing
I think it was a typo I don’t see the temperature changing on the ts0601 neither on Lovelace ,
also the attribute is not changing
this is in my automations.yaml
use_blueprint:
path: test2.yaml
input:
external_temp: sensor.kitchen_temperature
climate_name: climate.heater_kitchen
ieeeaddressoftrv: ‘0x60a423fffe9f3990’
Advanced users of this valve can make upgrade to control valve position without any temperature calibrations.
You can solder fixed resistor instead of NTC and then set target temperature to change valve position to desired value. If X is your target temperature then valve position will set according to actual temperature Y:
Y=X+1: position - 100%
Y=X: position - 90%
Y=X-1: position - 80%
…
Y=Х-8: position - 10%
Y=X-9: position - 0%
So you can fix Y with certain resistor (say 10k for 25 degrees) and then set position indirectly - by setting target temperature different from this fixed value for several degrees. Without any calibration. And you will be sure that your valve position is set to your desired value without any fluctuation for internal temperature sensor.

Great idea about fixed resistor, this is what i was thinking about.
Do you know exact location of NTC?
Did you tried this method already?
Okay, i changed NTC to fixed resistor 12k. Now i always have fixed local_temperature = 21 C.
Using simple automation i can simulate external sensor.
No need to get local_temperature anymore! You know it!
