Question
marcwau 30
Over the weekend, I upgraded several FGT-001's from 4.0 to 4.3 (after upgrading the HC2 to 4.170).
I reinstalled them and again noticed that some of the most basic functions still don't work.
In the bedroom, I have two Heat Controllers, with one shared temperature sensor.
Before going to bed, I manually set both valves to OFF (white), as we sleep with the window open.
The HC's are NOT part of a zone or a schedule, the room temperature was 12°C, so when you manually set the valves to OFF, you would expect that they simply remain shut.
They didn't. They literally kept me awake. Several times per hour, the motor started spinning... WHY?
Regardless of the secret Fibaro algorithm, OFF should mean OFF.
I think we desperately need an update to the template of these valves, so that we can see what is happening and why.
A simple (read-only) percentage bar that shows the actual position of the actuator - not just the colour of the ring - and a line of text whenever the FGT decides to do something - what it does and why.
The black box with info for Fibaro is limited, because the black box cannot tell Fibaro all the circumstances... is the boiler on or off, is the window really open, were doors opened, etc. But WE know that, so we could draw conclusions that Fibaro can't, if only we knew what this mysterious device is doing.
