Hello everyone! I’ve been exploring how to set up multiple smart thermostats for different areas in my home, and I thought I’d share my experiences and tips here.
I recently installed a FHT80B room controller in my living room, and it’s been working beautifully with the FHT8V radiator valve. The setup is straightforward with a schedule and comfort settings, and it maintains the temperature quite well. However, I noticed that the temperature reading was off by about 1 degree. I’m curious if others have experienced this and if there’s a way to calibrate it more accurately.
Now, my next goal is to add another radiator valve in the hallway. The challenge here is that I want the hallway to be about 2-3 degrees cooler than the living room. This makes me wonder if it’s possible to have two separate schedules or if I need a completely different setup for each room. From what I understand, the FHT80B controls the FHT8V valves, but I’m not sure if I can adjust the temperature settings independently for each valve.
I reached out to the community and did some research, and it seems that having multiple room controllers is the way to go if I want different temperature settings for each area. This makes sense, especially if I have multiple radiators in a single room. It’s a bit more involved, but it offers the flexibility I need.
For those looking to do something similar, here’s a quick tip: Plan your layout carefully. Consider where each radiator valve will be placed and how you want the temperature to vary between rooms. If you’re unsure about the calibration, checking the manufacturer’s guidelines or reaching out to their support can be really helpful.
I’d love to hear from others who have successfully set up multiple smart thermostats. What challenges did you face, and how did you overcome them? Let’s keep the conversation going and help each other create the perfect smart home setup!
Best regards,
Tommi
