eTRV Aeotec Radiator Thermostat and Eurotronic Spirit Z-Wave Thermostats

Are you using Hubigraphs to produce these charts?

InfluxDB + Grafana

Have you noticed your TRV is not fully closing after a while? It seem this is a quite common maybe?

I've read reports on this, not actually seen it on my TRVs.

I'm looking to see if I can do daily valve exercise - store current valve setting, then goto 100% open, then 0% then restore the valve to where it was.

You think that would sort this out?

Not sure mate, but worth a try. I'm up for it. :sunglasses:

Hi, new to HE but not to HA :slight_smile:

I have about ~16 Eurotronic Spirit TRVs and I am trying to get a test one working on HE.

I can see this is the Aeotec variant thread, but I am not clear if the device Drive at the first post is

a. Works with Eurotronic Spirits too
b. If it is the latest version

Overall I am really struggling trying to find a definitive/authorative source/index of all HE Apps and Drivers - so if some one can share the url it would be much appreciated as I am just trawling through community postings right now.

I did try getting Hubitat Package Manager working but it won't authiycate using the /Settings/Hub Login Security user :frowning:

I also have about 10 HRT/SR321/IQE Thermostats also a Secure SSR302 Dual controller that turns the Heating and Hot Water on/off I have yet to get into HE

Welcome @habitat

The driver in post 1 should work with Eurotronic Z-Wave eTRV's - I only have the Aeotec variant, but they are identical except for the fingerprint. I believe some users here are using my driver for the Eurotronics eTRVs. The driver in Post 1 is the current released version - I have updated it there a number of times.

I too have a 10+ SRT321's

@simon many thanks indeed!!!!! thank you for doing this and for responding back to me so quickly.

I have found the the Hubitat community to be extremely helpful.

I have a Eurotronic Spirit up and running !!!! Huzzah.

Next and SRT 321, then the SSR302

My hope is to be able to use the Temp Sensors in the Hue Motion Sensors - in a Hue Hub - as the external temp sensors for the Spirit TRVs for the rooms that do not warrant a manual override Thermostat.

Still working on that - I have asked CoCoHub to add a driver for the Motion Sensors - not fo rah emotion but the Temp/Luminance and Battery sensors.

As a failover I have purchased a few different zigbee Sonoff Sensors and see how they do.

Actually CoCoHue!! has been updated to support Hue Motion Sensors!!

So may still be in with a chance

Very good. i don't know how the external sensors can be made work with the eTRV's. I looked at this a while ago and Aeotec say that one of their temperature sensors can communicate with their eTRV's. I don't see how a driver can send the external temperature to the eTRV.

Ok very early days so far.

I am hoping that I can use the Thermostat Controller to use an Hue temp Sensor - added in by cocohue to work as the external Temp Sensor.

Small steps,

Hue working - Check
All hue Motion/Temp/Luminance/ sensors accessible - Check
Secure SRT321 Thermostats and variations - Check
Secure SSR302 Dual Heating switch - Possible solution found
Eurotronic Spirit TRVs - Check
GreenWave Sockets with Power monitoring - Check
Stop Greenwaves from flashing all the time - Check
TKBHome Sockets - Check
Ikea zigbee bulbs that aren't reliable in Hue Hub - Check
Sonos - Check
122 devices into HE so far

Still need to find a way for :-
Hubitat to 'talk' to Indigo
Responding to Plex activities - Lounge Lighting changes etc
Some Sonoff zigbee Sensors
Control Logitech Harmony Hub

A longer shot will be being able to tap into the 433MHz sensors I have in fridges/freezers/hot water tank

But good progress in the main for 3 days at this.

Best Christmas present ever :slight_smile:

Ok that rained on my parade ......

It looks like Thermostat controller will only work with temp from Thermostats.

I could have sworn I had seen a Hue Motion Sensor in the list before

Back to the drawing board

Simon I have been playing with the Thermostat Controller Built in App.

You set the Thermostat to the TRV and can choose multiple Temp Sensors and set weighting on them for the area that the TRV is heating.

Just testing right now but have setup a Eurotronic Spirit TRV and using a Hue Motion/temp Sensor using the cocohue App to get the temperatures etc (it is a pre release right now V3 but works apart from errors around battery reading.

@simon if you get a chance I would like to know exactly how you got the SSR302 up and running, that is my next big challenge.

I stopped using my SSR302 a while ago..... I now use 3 SSR303's (single channel) - better WAF as she can see at a glance if a zone is on or off....

See here for what I used to use with the SSR302....

Ok got the Eurotronic Spirit zwave TRVs working.

I am new to HE - so probably missing something here.

Is there anyway to get visibility of the actual Valve % of each TRV - the Spirit sometime have a habit of sticking slightly open and on other HAs I have been able to force the valve open and shut it down

Not critical - nice to have

If you look at "Current States" you will see "level" - that's the valve - ranges between 0 to 100. There is a parameter that controls how much a change in the valve triggers a valve report into the logs and updates this level....

@bravenel any chance that you could consider adding slave thermostats to Thermostat Scheduler? That is, for each room (main) thermostat you can have one or more eTRV's that need to take their setpoints from the room thermostat. I currently have 10 room thermostats controlling 22 eTRV's and I'm about to implement virtual thermostats for some of the eTRV's. - Plan is I will end up with 10 room thermostats and 7 virtual thermostats - that will be 17 copies of Thermostat Scheduler running.

@simon Thank you for your insights and experience, very much appreciated.

I have 16 eTRVs (Zwave Spirits) and 10 zwave Secure 321.

15 rooms (two radiators in the Lounge)

Also I have 14 Hue Motion/Temp Sensors through cocohue beta App

And I am playing with the Sonoff Temp/Humidity and Motion sensors - directly connected to HE

With the in mind.

I am planning on one Thermostat Controller per Room

And one Thermostat Scheduler per Zone

No Guests in House
Zone 1 - Two bedroom rooms that are unused
Zone 2 - Two Bathrooms unused
Zone 3 - And a reception Room unused
These can all sit at 17c 24/7

EXCEPT when we have guests, then each o the 3 zones above will have different temperature needs.
ie Guest Bedrooms need to be 18c at night and the bathrooms at 22c, the reception room 17c at night 21c during the day.

Zone 4 - Hallway/Landing/WC - only two controllable radiators there - the hallway is not controllable (WC included because despite best efforts the door is always left open :slight_smile:

Zone 5 - Kitchen/Study/Utility

Zone 6 - Lounge

Zone 7 - Master Bedroom

Zone 8 - Master Ensuite

and my Office which I have the radiator turned off - I get too much heat from computers and monitors and vent into the Landing

So will end up with 8 Thermostat Schedulers.

The Hue Motion/Temp sensors are already migrated to HE so using those right now and offsetting temperature readings in the Thermostat Controller (the motion sensors locations are optimised for motion sensing not Temp).

And I can combine and weight the Hue Temp sensors for each zone in the Thermostat Controller.

Does that sound reasonable?

Also, Turning heating on through a Rule is quiet straight forward, If ANY Thermostat Controllers state changes AND ANY of the Thermostat Controllers state is 'heating' turn on the Boiler.

I am finding the turn off more complicated and cumbersome - so would appreciate some advice.

Currently I am using a Rule IF ANY Thermostat Controllers state changes AND ALL Thermostat Controllers state is NOT 'heating' Then turn off boiler

Setting this up is painful for 16 Thermostat Controllers is there a better way?

Found it thanks

Anyway to view the firmware version of the eTRV?
