Hi,
I have a question for people who are using room temperature control and a gas boiler.
I’m planning to install Radiator Thermostat E1 or Aqara Radiator Thermostat W600 on radiators in each room, plus optionally Aqara Temperature & Humidity Sensors. Everything would be connected via the Hub M3.
On the gas boiler side, I’m thinking about installing an Aqara Dual Relay Module T2 to turn the boiler on when a low temperature is detected.
My question is:
with this kind of setup, do you need to create a separate automation for each room, or is there a way to manage this more centrally? How does it work in your setup and what has proven to work best for you?
Hello, welcome to the forum. I made a description of the work in the lesson. My system is set up to automate temperature control (not smart scheduling). This is due to the peculiarity of my heating system. If smart scheduling is turned on, the heating efficiency is ineffective, the battery is half-closed and the heating boiler is working. If you have any questions, write directly to my link that I gave. Our conversation will be useful for other users. Automation 2.0, lesson 14, creating automations for controlling groups of rooms using radiator thermostats (E1,W600) and a controlled heating boiler
Hey, I’m coming back after installing the W600 radiator valves. I’m going through your lesson 14 because I now want to automate turning the gas boiler on and off, and I don’t really understand the configuration you discussed in that lesson.
Currently, my situation looks like this: I have 9 rooms. In each room there is a T1 temperature sensor and W600 radiator valves. The valves are set to read the temperature from the T1 sensor so they have a better idea of the actual room temperature. Up to this point, everything is clear.
Now I want to set up automation so that when the temperature drops below X, T2 turns on, and when it is above Y, it turns off. However, based on my thinking, I should be able to do this using two scenes — one to turn the boiler on and second to turn it off
4,5,6) — plus several automations where I check the temperature. In your lesson 14 there are some virtual buttons, many conditions, etc. Are you able to explain why you did it that way?
I’m sending how I have it set up. I’ll add that the boiler on T2 is connected to L1 and L2. L2 is always on, and when I want to turn it off manually, I will switch it over (emergency situation). On L1 I’m doing the automations(image 1,2,3).
