Heating support (connected thermostatic valves)

Development
1

Following the purchase of a connected valve for my radiator, I notice (without surprise) that it is not yet supported by Gladys (GitHub issue).

However, unlike usual, some parameters are not even planned in Gladys, if I compare with what the Zigbee2Mqtt project interface displays.

As you can see, here are the parameters associated with the connected valve:

  • :white_check_mark: Battery status
  • :cross_mark: Locking and unlocking of the connected head (touch interface)
  • :cross_mark: Eco mode, when no one is at home. Could be triggered differently by Gladys, but this mode is not supported by default.
  • :cross_mark: Eco mode: setpoint temperature
  • :white_check_mark: Maximum temperature
  • :white_check_mark: Minimum temperature
  • :cross_mark: Valve position
  • :cross_mark: Open window mode active or deactivated
  • :cross_mark: Status of open window detection
  • :white_check_mark: Room temperature
  • :cross_mark: Heating setpoint
  • :cross_mark: Room temperature calibration (adding or removing °C from the received value)
  • :cross_mark: Operating mode (program in the valve, manual, etc.)
  • :cross_mark: Valve programming for auto mode
  • :cross_mark: Boost mode
  • :cross_mark: Duration of boost mode
  • :cross_mark: linkquality

Thanks for your precise post!

Given the values, it’s really all about heating management.

Surprisingly, there is no feature request for heating management in Gladys (or maybe I didn’t search well…), could you create one for us?

(There is already a post that « talks » about heating, but it’s not exactly heating management so no one voted for it: https://community.gladysassistant.com/t/vision-de-la-gestion-du-chauffage-radiateurs-chauffe-eau-par-calendrier-sur-la-semaine-voir-image/5524 )

There’s a plugin I use in Jeedom for management and it’s really great — I don’t know if you’re familiar with it.

Are you talking about the Thermostat plugin?

We’re far from having something as complete, you have to play with scenes but I’d be tempted to delve deeper into the idea of having a scene(s) for automated management.
I’ve already done things that don’t suit me 100% and I’m going to take inspiration from this one.
