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
- About 15 minutes after the last command, the TRV goes back to its own internal algorithm. An automation that sends the last
pi_heating_demandvalue again at regular intervals keeps the valve under VTherm control. - When turned off, the TRV sets a 5 °C setpoint.
- 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.
