Hi, happy fibaro users

From last year i have the Heat Controller but unboxed only last days to try it.

It looks very HiEnd in hands, but the temp regulation sphere moves like it got sand in it  Not smooth and there is no tactile "marks" when to stop (the color light - yes)

Anyway, I can live with that - not a big deal.

 

After playing a little bit (not appied any radioator head yet) left it on a desk and went sleep. It was terrible night. The module makes terribe noise in the night silence. I was so lazy to get up and shut it off. so I wake up every hor or so because of this noise.

 

Is it normal? Is it same by your side too? I have 3 radiators in my room, i can obly imagine this msic in the night with 3 of this devices

I believe your device has tried (all the night) to calibrate itself

So it is  not mounted yet? It "calibrates" = it tries to find the in  & out points of your valve. If you do not mount it onto a valve, it will keep trying to calibrate. If you include it on a HC, I expect it to tell you "calibration failed". First thing to do now is update FW to 4.3... So I agree with what @adyboss posted.

 

To avoid that calibration thing while unmounted, have a look at "standby" in the manual. That is the way to store the valve.

That is totally normal for unmounted Heat Controller. I hear that noise when i have it in office for warranty check. It tries to calibrate like @petergebruers and @adyboss said.

 

What would i do:

1. Include it into Fibaro HC.
2. Mount it.
3. Upgrade it to fw 4.3.
4. Calibrate it with B-button (white color).

After mounting and calibration noice will be reduced.

Thanks for a fast feedback!

 

It was included in HCL network and upgraded to 4.3 from the start.

But ok i will get one radiator head (not have such here) and mount it for the more clear test.

 

Other question: how to assign a temperature sensor to be used by the Heat Controller? (I have no BLE temp sensor) As far as i understand, any Z-Wave temp sensor in the network could be used with it.
