Description
Again and again BT does not aim to the target temperature. It just cares for keeping the room temperature at for example 18.3°C while the target temperature was set to 19.0°C. I can see that it is actually working but aiming at the wrong temperature. Making any changes to the BT settings makes BT "wake up" and working right again. What I normally do is changing the granularity of the temperature settings from 0.1°C to 1.0°C and back again. As soon as I've made any changes, I can hear the TRV motors working.
Steps to Reproduce
- Use BT for having a comfortable temperature.
- Wait some time.
Expected behavior:
BT should try to reach the target temperature.
Actual behavior:
Instead it keeps staying at a different temperature. As far as I remember, this was always below the target temperature which was set.
Versions
HA version: 2024.1.2 BT version: 1.5.0-beta4
Additional Information
To make any changes in the settings I set the granularity of the temperature settings from 0.1°C to 1.0°C and back again. However, changing granularity settings of BT results in a different problem, as described here: #1249
I have a https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/devices/GS361A-H04.html
I reconfigured something to test on it few days ago, (I think I just set Maintenance Mode to ON, I turned it off already though), and since then it doesn't behave correctly.
You can see it from around ~19.1. - trv_office is the "raw" theromstat, "Heizung" the BT entity. It just doesn't let the temperature go down.
Today, again I had to make some changes in the BT settings to make BT aim to the target temperature.
The image shows, what actually happened.
- Switching BT from "off" to 19 degrees at 5:50 am.
- After some time, BT decides to stay somewhere at 18.2 degrees instead of increasing to 19 degrees.
- Opening windows to let some fresh air in.
- Closing windows. BT starts heating again
- After eventually reaching 19 (and more) degrees, BT doesn't keep the temperature and decreases it to somewhere around 18.2 again.
- Too cold for me to continue working at PC. So I decided to make the "Change-Settings-Workaround". I set the temperature interval to 1.0 and then back to 0.1 degrees.
- As always after making changes like that, BT changes its own target temperature. In this case it increases its own target temperature from 19 to 20.5 degrees, which I manually reverted back to 19 again. See #1249
- From now on BT works fine targeting the real temperature to 19 degrees.
- BT is oscillating around 19 degrees, what is okay for me.
- The sun is shining through my window and additionally warming up the room
Hopefully this problem can be solved sometimes.
