Good morning everybody, I recently moved into a new home. I am now living in a 71qm loft. Unfortunately isolation is pretty bad… but I’ll improve that soon :stuck_out_tongue: I got OpenHABian running on a RPi3+ and have some Philips hue and “some” Xiaomi products connected. My next planned step is…

Heating is a complex, usually underestimated topic with no quick-and-simple solutions. There’s no such recommendation, and as you can attach almost everything to openHAB, you would need to be more specific what you expect them to be. That’s why we dislike these types of simple but widely open quest…

Oh, sorry. Seems I really did underestimate this ^^, I got radiators, 5 of em. I got temperatur sensors in my space and got also have contact sensors on my windows (not all of em right now). My programing skills should suffice to create a working system I think… I have no Idea about Xtend though an…

Ok so it’s a typical rent-a-flat scenario. Yes this needs to be checked first as there’s a fair amount of unbelievably naive queries just looking for some device without explaining the environment and functionality they’re after. I should have even asked more questions such as “type existing devices…

Have a look at my My Central Heating Solution using Thermal Actuators thread - might give you an idea of what’s achievable :slight_smile:

Yeah that’s another possible solution. But those actuators you show are actually meant to power floor heating. That is what I’m using as well for my floor heating house level, and as the OP and me already have temperature sensors it’s as simple (as far as HW is concerned) as to connect these valve …

[image] mstormi: But those actuators you show are actually meant to power floor heating FYI They are ‘standard’ Wax Thermal Actuators, originally designed in Germany by a great chap called Micheal. (What is shown in the link is a copy) ‘most’ underfloor heating manifolds valves use an M30 t…

[image] mstormi: Sorry to tell but your picture showing that SOnOff is pretty ugly, noone will want to have that in a loft … Yep - as I said in that thread, running it like that was totally temporary and ugly, because I knew I was moving, and wanted a proof of concept so when I install in the…

[image] Confused: Someone with a little extra time can make a solution like mine that looks much prettier - mine could have been improved greatly by running the mains cable along the wall in some mini trunking, and securing the Sonoff behind the radiator out of sight, and would have been “rental…

Would love if you could show some photos in my original thread! :smiley:

[image] Confused: As @MDAR said, these actuators fit perfectly onto thermostatic radiator valves - M30 thread - and as @BlaXun has temperature sensors already, there’s no need for any products with their own temperature control built in :slight_smile: Well all three of you are brexiteers whil…
