Local cast, virtual thermostat

I only install from sonoff, I hope they fix the flaws. Since the gateway does not work on iHost, some households cannot control anything via nspp. I would hate to change the manufacturer when they are willing to constructively discuss changes to their products.

As of today, Sonoff doesn’t have a thermostat for our iHost, and I found an alternative that’s quite accurate and 100% compatible. If they release a good enough thermostat, I’d be willing to buy or upgrade; in the meantime, I need a thermostat to be able to adjust the setpoints on the TRZB.

51

I am always helpful with heating regulation, I have experience. Who can judge better than the one who does it?

52

Suika I would listen to someone with sufficient experience in heating system installation who knows the necessary kW to heat a house, pipe diameters, thermostats that regulate the temperature correctly, etc.

What I do is have the thermostat’s setpoint (for example, 20ÂșC) send the signal to all the thermostatic radiator valves.

If the room is at that temperature, I think I should close them at 78% (80% would be 100% closed) since I use a gas boiler and closing too many radiators is bad due to flow and excess pressure. The thermostat is in the coldest room without a thermostatic radiator valve. Any room that is at or above the setpoint will be closing because it doesn’t need to be heated.

53

For this reason, I have an accumulation tank in the system and even if I have all the valves closed, the flow is still sufficient. In my case, this situation cannot occur because the regulation does not allow it.

54

With a gas boiler, the procedure is different. The Vaillant boiler manual recommends not closing all or many valves, as these boilers control flow and pressure, and doing so can affect the pump or prevent it from functioning correctly, since it performs a pipe length test.

55

I don’t know how Sonoff handles the issues, but I assume it doesn’t completely close them.

Hello. Could you please tell me approximately when the virtual thermostat for CubeOS will be released? We’re really looking forward to it here. Using scenarios for controlling home temperature is very inconvenient. Please create something similar to the Thermoplugin, which is available in the experimental features of the ewelink app.

I’ve tested this model:

It works well and has the option to add an external PTC sensor, which improves the measurement. It also doesn’t overload the network like other models. I think that in addition to a virtual thermostat, they should also offer a physical thermostat option, but that’s just my opinion.

Hello.
Were you able to connect it via ZigBee?
Were you able to test it in the Ewelink ecosystem? Could you tell me which ZigBee Hub you have?
If I connect it to CubeOS, does it have full control, with a preset range and hysteresis?
If it’s not too much trouble, could you make a short video for us?
If you can’t send it here, you can send it to Telegram.
Thank you!

I use iHost and the thermostat works perfectly. One function I’d like to manage from iHost Cast isn’t working for me, but it’s pretty much what I’m looking for. It has adjustable parameters: temperature compensation and sensor type. The hysteresis is fixed at 0.5°C.

61

Where did you get it? I don’t have a thermostat in CubeOS
 Can you show me a screenshot of what it looks like and where to turn it on?

62

For example, HomeAssistant has auxiliary devices, and you can create a virtual thermostat there. How do you do this in CubeOS?

63

Only through scenes.

What is so difficult for them to do like in HomeAssistant?

65

In iHost, you need to edit all scenes and here you just need to drag and move.
