Understanding TRV Control Algorithms: A Comprehensive Guide

It’s what I was asked to do here: 🛑 Regulation Problem: New Aqara Radiator Thermostat W600 – Unstable Heating (ON/OFF) - #17 by gafich10

I admit that the text was mostly written by AI (Claude not ChatGPT :wink:), but the simulation model and graphics are my own work. If there is a policy not to use AI on the forum, I’ll rewrite the post, of course.

My goal was to provide an overview of existing solutions, without pointing people to lecture notes or books, which would be far to detailed in most cases. AI is very helpful here for two reasons:

  1. The current LLMs are excellent in presenting existing information in a readable manner.
  2. English is not my mother tongue and AI makes it a lot easier for me to write about technical topics like this.

I double checked all of the information provided to my best knowledge. If you find any mistake, please let me know and I’ll be happy to fix it.
