Bosch Radiator Thermostat II [+M]

With Zigbee2MQTT, this TRV exposes a writable pi_heating_demand entity. VTherm can use it for self-regulation by direct valve control. In Matter mode, pi_heating_demand is read-only: use the Zigbee mode.

Limitations

  1. About 15 minutes after the last command, the TRV goes back to its own internal algorithm. An automation that sends the last pi_heating_demand value again at regular intervals keeps the valve under VTherm control.
  2. When turned off, the TRV sets a 5 °C setpoint.
  3. Water flows only above about 15 % of opening: adjust the minimal opening to your radiator.

NOTE

Because of these limitations, this device is partially compatible.
