Haven’t got the chance to look deeper in the code, but may I suggest adding some comments? They can be helpful to understand the logic .

@Confused

I’d like to try to understand this a little more, could do with some comments added in the code.

I know, I’m not that good in adding comments. I’ll try to do it more and more.

Also, another suggestion, for a future version. Think of implementing an anti-calcification mechanism for the summer period - is “anti-calcification” a word? Sorry, English is not my strength, but maybe you understand what I mean… Something like opening and closing the valve 2-3 times once a week when heating is off?

As far as I know, this is not necessary with the Eurospirit, maybe you can tackle this with a separate rule if necessary.

In addition, there appears that there may be some extra groups etc defined against the items, plus the descriptions are not in English, so I’m not sure what is needed and what isn’t, like which groups are necessary for this, and what are there just for your installation.

These groups Influxdb, Influxdb_EU, Rrd4j, RestoreOnStartup are based on this Design Pattern: Group Based Persistence.
NodeX is my Zwave group (all items that belongs to Zwave device Node X are in a group) and Home, BoilerRoom, Bathroom, etc are groups for my house layout (Floors, rooms, etc)
The labels are in Dutch, but all comments and item names are in English (as far as I know ). I think it’s time consuming to translate all the labels and you also have Google Translate
