VTherms not responding correctly

[doubledrat]

This is odd. I changed a vtherm to comfort and even though the current temperature was less and it had the heating icon, it didn't translate to a device wanting the boiler to fire. see image

I waited at least a minute, set it back to eco, then back to comfort and the boiler count increased and fired up.

I then changed it back to eco, and although the temperature dropped below the current, it was still calling for heat. I waited 2 mins, then decreased the set temperature even more and it was still calling for heat. see image

ok. while I was typing this up, it responded. maybe 5 or more minutes later than expected. but now it's left the boiler on even though we have 0 calling for heat

this is not related to my "Nest restarting issue" as it's not been restarted since restarting home assistant earlier today.

I've added versatile entries from the log, I don't know if that helps?

In the logs you have many lines like this:

do not calculate TPI because regulation_period (3) is not exceeded

You may have an issue on your configuration. Can you give me your attributes like that: https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/blob/main/documentation/en/reference.md#custom-attributes

Here's an example. 2 of my vtherms were in eco mode, were way warmer than the eco setting, but were still calling for heat. I set them to frost and they stopped calling for heat, I set them back to eco and they stayed that way (not calling for heat)

Ah. Just noticed i have the wrong trv valve regulation assigned. I wonder if that was it?

[jmcollin78]

yes fix it and see.

When you send json or yaml please use the format button '<>' around the code. Else it is hard to read and you loose all indentation which is always important.
