I’ve always been fascinated by the idea of integrating smart devices into my home to enhance comfort and efficiency. Recently, I’ve been exploring the possibility of upgrading my heating system with smart thermostats, and I’m eager to share my journey and seek advice from the community.
I’ve decided to go with Tuya thermostats due to their compatibility with Zigbee2Mqtt, which I’ve heard great things about from various forums and YouTube channels. However, I’m a bit overwhelmed by the range of models available—TRV06, TV05, and others. I’m curious to know if there are significant technical differences between these models or if they mainly differ in外观设计. Compatibility with Zigbee2Mqtt is crucial for me, so any insights on this would be invaluable.
My apartment has three main areas: a bedroom, a bathroom, and a living room-kitchen combo. Each has different heating needs. For the bedroom and bathroom, I’m considering single sensors, but I’m unsure about the living room. Should I use multiple sensors to cover the larger space, or is one sensor sufficient regardless of the number of radiators? I’ve come across some sensors on AliExpress, but I’m not sure about their quality and reliability.
Another aspect I’m exploring is connecting my existing Shelly devices with the new system. I’ve heard mixed reviews about their compatibility with Zigbee hubs, and I’m wondering if there are any tricks or workarounds to ensure seamless integration. Additionally, I’m considering adding window contacts in the future, but I want to tackle one thing at a time.
I’m also thinking about the overall hub setup. I’ve found a Zigbee hub on AliExpress, but I’m concerned about its coverage in my 80-square-meter apartment with drywall walls. Will it be sufficient, or should I look into a more robust solution?
I’m really excited about this project, but I want to make sure I’m on the right track. Any advice, tips, or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated. Let’s create a smarter, more comfortable home together!
