Thermo plugin bug?

I have 9 thermostats set up for 9 thermometers and 9 heaters… the automation doesn’t seem to work correctly for all 9, even though they are configured identically. Some don’t activate at the scheduled times, others do… I don’t understand where the problem is coming from.

We recently discussed here that thermostats can turn each other off. Try checking to see if this is happening to yours as well.

Hello, thank you for your reply.
All the thermostats are set to the same time periods. And sometimes some don’t take into account the scheduled time.

I have a few of these as well and have had similar problems. I have had:

  1. The schedules being ignored (not appearing in the logs)
  2. The schedules saying that they have been activated (in the logs) but the target temperature staying the same as it was

At the moment I have an even crazier situation where I set up a plugin with one THR Elite thermostat and then changed it to another THR elite thermostat. What is happening now is that the plugin keeps randomly switching between the two thermostats! I know that it is switching between the two because one is in a heated room and so is at a high temperature (around 20 degrees C) whereas the other is in an unheated room and so is at a low temperature (around 10 degrees C). When I display the state of the plugin I can actually see the target temperature switch between 10 and 20 degrees.

I am an ex-computer programmer and I can’t see how they can implement code that does this - surely there is only once place in the code where they store the device id of the thermostat, so how can it keep switching to another one?

I also have plugins go offline for no reason - it says that I should check the thermostat and the actuator to see which one is offline, but they are both on-line. Maybe it is randomly switching to somebody else’s thermostat that just happens to be offline!

I’ve submitted a fault report on this and am waiting for the reply.

They are a very nice idea, but at the moment do not seem very reliable. I also can’t see how to have a lot of schedules setup but then override them when I go on holiday and want everything set to 10 degrees just to keep the house from freezing.
