Spread window to wide? (Aquara E1)

[LinuxfarmerHH]

Prerequisites

Brennenstuhl similar to Aquara E1
BT Version 1.6.1
Zigbee ZHA
External temp hum sensor from Tuya Zigbee

Description

Have these heating valves since 8 weeks and the batteries are drained to below 50%. They get closed to 8° on display and opened to 21.5° on display to hold 21° in the room. Means the thermostate is driven binary between this 2 points, instead of some more points to reduce engine spin.

Have configured:
AI time based
Overheating Protection

Maybe someone have the same effect? Maybe these models are inadequate? Or simply bad configured by me?

Reason for these thermostate are the powerful motor and gear, it can deal with 30x1.5 ventiles.

Try "normal compensation", or worst case "no compensation". PR #1522 for "linear compensation" (still doing actual compensation, but in a very conservative way) is pending and would provide you a solution in between those two mentioned modes available atm.

Okay yes that fits better and save battery. So this is a matter of trial and config, the Aquara E1 requires special handling.

Edit: Mixed up stuff, linear calibration is not yet available (as of b2)
So your alternative options, from gentle to aggressive regulation are now:

• no calibration
• linear calibration
• normal calibration

Also consider disabling overheat protection, as it does make regulation also way more aggressive (if you want graduate adjustments, you have to accept that the temperature won't be held perfectly accurate, like you can't have both).

Please close this issue, unless you have an actual problem / bug still (there is a dedicated discussions section for questions and things like this).

No bug, closing this now - please use discussions for further Q&A
