Hi Jon,
sorry, but I have another question concerning how the TRV device works:
I now have installed 10 thermostats arround the house. Normally my boiler is working on it's own, controlled by a modulating room thermostat which is in one room using an Opentherm interface.
Most of the time, this works satisfactory and the thermostat does a good job modulating the boiler.
But sometimes it happens, that one room has to get some more heat. So I would have to switch on the boiler independant of the thermostats state.
I have made a virtual device that reflects if the boiler is in thermostat mode or if it's overruled by indigo and switches it on or off.
That works ok, but I don't want to "overrule" the thermostat when the boiler is already heating because the thermostat does a better job to save some energy rather than simply switching it on.
So my question is if you have an idea how I could make the system smarter and only fire the boiler manually, if the water temperatur is below a certain amount? I have several variables to check the temp of the boiler, I just have no good idea to integrate them into the system.
I would love to hear you ideas on this.
Thanks
Wilhelm
P.S: This is a bad time to fiddle arround with the heating because it's getting warmer each day...
