Hello everyone, I hope this message finds you all well. I’m relatively new to the world of smart home devices and have recently been experimenting with the Shelly products. However, I’ve encountered an issue with my Shelly Blu TRV thermostats that I’m hoping someone might be able to shed some light on.
The problem I’m facing is that the valve on my Shelly Blu TRV isn’t closing completely. While the thermostat displays 0%, indicating that the valve should be fully closed, the radiator remains warm. This is quite concerning as it affects the efficiency of my heating system and results in higher energy consumption than expected.
I’ve tried several troubleshooting steps to resolve this issue. First, I recalibrated the thermostat multiple times following the instructions provided in the user manual. Next, I replaced the batteries with high-quality lithium batteries, ensuring that they were providing sufficient power to the device. I also reinstalled the thermostat to make sure it was properly mounted and functioning as intended.
Despite all these efforts, the issue persists. I’ve even gone as far as updating both the thermostat and the gateway firmware to the latest versions, but this hasn’t made any difference. At this point, I’m beginning to suspect that there might be a hardware issue with the thermostat itself, but I’m not entirely sure.
Interestingly, I came across a potential solution online where someone suggested using a 2-cent coin as a spacer to adjust the valve’s closure. However, this didn’t work for me as the coin’s diameter was too large to fit within the housing of the thermostat. I’m now considering whether there might be additional adapter pieces or components that could help adjust the valve’s position to ensure it closes properly.
Another angle I’m exploring is whether the software controlling the thermostat might be limiting the valve’s closure. Perhaps there’s a setting or a firmware update that I’m unaware of that could address this issue. I’m hoping someone in the community might have encountered a similar problem and could offer some guidance or advice.
In the meantime, I’m continuing to monitor the situation and will keep the community updated on any progress I make. If anyone has any suggestions or solutions, I’d greatly appreciate hearing from you. Thanks in advance for your help and support!
