Hello, dear forum members. I’m asking for your support again. I’m referring to the Smart Radiator Thermostat E1. I’m setting up an automation system that, when the temperature on the radiator head drops below 22 degrees Celsius, opens the first channel from relay T2, which turns on the gas furnace. However, this doesn’t happen. When I activate relay T2 by clicking on the card, the furnace starts. I’ve attached the automation system card. Please point out where I’m going wrong. Regards.

Hello, Merry Christmas to you.
These problems are described in my lesson 14. You can also view additional lessons on this topic. Everything is described there, if something is unclear, ask under the lesson, always ready to help. Automation 2.0, lesson 14, creating automations for controlling groups of rooms using radiator thermostats (E1,W600) and a controlled heating boiler

Hello, thank you for sharing this informative lesson, but I’m having trouble setting the first WHEN condition in the automation. When configuring my automation, I only see the IF and THEN conditions. How can I set this WHEN?
Furthermore;
-
The E1 head displays a hand symbol, which I don’t think should be there, as it indicates manual control (I’ve provided a screenshot).
-
Periodically, I receive messages from each head: “ABNORMAL TEMPERATURE DETECTED, CHECK IMMEDIATELY.” Of the potential causes listed in the message, only the one that indicates the room temperature is too low or too high is consistent, but this is due to the automation not being activated as I set it (the room is too cold), or when the automation isn’t starting yet because the room is 19 degrees Celsius, and the automation starts below 17 degrees Celsius (the room is too warm).
-
I have another question: if I have several automations set up for different rooms that start the furnace via T2, will the condition of reaching the temperature in one of them not turn off T2 prematurely when the temperature in the other room has not yet been reached?
Regards

Hello, mal6,7 lesson 15 ( Automation 2.0, lesson 15, blitz topic, controlling individual boilers using AqaraTVR (W600, E1) ) ensures that the boiler is turned on at the request of any TVR, and turns off the boiler when all TVRs have reached the set temperature.

Hello, dear forum members, all the best in the new year 
. Thank you for your interest in my questions. I followed the instructions from the lesson, but the automation sometimes works, sometimes doesn’t… Below are screenshots. Please let me know where I’m going wrong. Best regards.

Hello, use my invention in automation 2.0. In the WHEN condition, I put a constant trigger signal that constantly triggers the IF condition check. 1. A simplified automation option where only temperature control is performed.
- A variant of my automation, which has protection against accidental Off/On relays. In this automation, I recommend combining the pump On/Off with the boiler On/Off only in the THEN section. The pump turns on (turns off) synchronously with the boiler. In this case, everything will work like clockwork.
Okay, in my case, channel 1 is the gas furnace on/off, and channel 2 is the underfloor heating pump on/off. So if I understand correctly, I should only include channel 2 in the THEN condition, right?
Is there an error with the temperature value in the automation you proposed? Shouldn’t it be 23 degrees C (screenshot below)?
NO, this is not an error, it should be like this, the role of this parameter is to act as a trigger for IF.
If necessary, you only change the temperature parameter with WHEN.
Hi gafich10, thank you for your interest in my problems. The underfloor heating in the living room turns on at the correct time, but when the set temperature is reached, the underfloor heating pump doesn’t turn off. Perhaps I’m missing the IF setting? I’m attaching screenshots of the automation settings.
Additionally, I’m having a problem with radiator heating, which is blocked by the E1 head. The room temperature is set according to the schedule, but the head doesn’t start the furnace according to the set temperature. I’ve attached screenshots. The first one shows the temperature set to 22 degrees Celsius, but the room temperature is 18.6 degrees Celsius, and the furnace won’t start. I’ve seen virtual automation in your lessons, but it includes temperature sensors, which my room doesn’t have, so I can’t use them. Please advise what I could do about this.

Hi, I’ve had this automation for about 3 years and I haven’t had any problems. But it is version 1 of the automation. Try to correlate that temperature sensor with a servo motor—it might help. The temperature sensor on the servo motor will most likely read quite differently.

Hello, this automation does not want to work? If so, check if any other automation is turning on the circulation pump. Look in the automation log for what is currently running.
Regarding this automation, there is one feature. This automation is cloud-based (condition above/below the set)!!!
Pay attention to the quality of the Internet.
Another explanation, if you had a temperature of 18.6°C at the time of switching from 18°C-> 22°C, then the automation will track the temperature change only at the time of the next signal sending to the gateway (time from 1 minute to an hour), the sending time depends on when the last temperature data transmission was.
I suggest you use my automation algorithm. If something is unclear, write here.
