Maximum Thermostat Setpoint

[byronward85]

What is the feature?

Can we get a maximum thermostat setpoint on the card?

Description

Thanks for a great integration. I use it on all our radiators. The AI mode is brilliant. My only issue is that we have some guest rooms with NS panels which guests turn lights on/off etc and set the climate. People are turning the thermostats up to 35C and forgetting about it which is quite annoying. It would be great if we could have a maximum thermostat setpoint.

Additional Information

I'm concious that the code can be altered in core/components/climate however I havent tried this as it might limit the way the AI feature works. Plus, I'd rather be able to limit temperatures in different areas such as the main house to 25C, corridors to 19C and guest areas to 22C etc..

Yeah, I feel the same way, I'll try to look into this actually. FYI, I could change the max. setpoint on my actual thermostats (HmIP), and that propagates to the range of BT as well, but that obviously doesn't work for everyone.

Hi, I thought about changing the max set point on the TRV but wouldn’t that stop the AI function working properly? ThanksByronSent from my iPhoneOn 28 Nov 2023, at 20:39, ZleekWolf @.***> wrote: Yeah, I feel the same way, I'll try to look into this actually.

You could change the code, problem is that it would change it to one value for every BT entity.

I would just create an automation. Trigger the BT temperature change. If that's higher than X then set it to X. A blueprint would be even better with 2 variables. One the BT entity and the other the max temperature.

@byronward85 Yes and no, like if you got offset based TRVs, it sure won't be an issue, and if you run in target temperature control, then it depends on how far you wanna limit the range. Like I just got it set to 25C max, which gives some headroom for offsets, but also limits my control range somewhat more user-friendly. If you wanna make sure it's e.g. 22C max, then I'd advice something like @wtom's solution as an intermediate workaround - Just reset the BT target temperature to 22C via an automation, as soon as it's reached, or after a certain time.

I’ve had a play and it doesn’t look like my TRV’s like ‘offset based’ calibration. Good idea for the automation to reset the setpoint if it goes above a certain value. I’ll use that for now and keep an eye out if BT gets a new ‘high/low setpoint’ feature

Thanks
