Drayton Wiser (heater/water smart controller), my install log/issues

Cheers mate. Not ideal but did the same with the £13 extender I had. Basically instead of connecting the Heat Hub to the Virgin hub, I've connected to the Extender WiFi address. (Same as the Virgin address but with the -Ext on the end). Since then it's not lost signal once. So ok for now until I can afford a better more powerful router than the Virgin Hub 3
 
Hate to resurrect and hijack am old thread but I e just installed a Wiser hub and trvs and I think I'm having a bit of an issue with one of the trvs.

It's added to the system ok and whirrs most of the times when I turn it up or down but it doesn't always seem to actually open the valve? I've tried resetting it and readding it a couple of times and tried the tips earlier in the thread about removing the trv and setting it fully open. But I'm still not convinced it's working quite right.

Also, has anyone has any issues with the identify function not seeking to do anything sometimes?
 
Try the trv on a radiator that you know currently works. Should tell you if it's working or not.

But surely heat on the rad will be the answer. Is the radiator hot when it's supposed to be? No, then it's not open. Yes then it is open.
 
I've had a bit more of a tinker with it and I think actually it was to do with how Wiser triggers the boiler if the actual temp is close to the desired temp. Although I had increased the desired temp it could see the trend of the temp was rising so it didn't fire up the boiler and hence the rad didn't get warm because it could see the temp was already rising. I'll keep an eye on it but I think it might actually be fine.
 
If just the one radiator carries on being problematic, it’s worth taking the TRV off and checking the pin underneath is moving freely (i.e. it pushes up when you release it). If the pin stays down you need to loosen it with oil (& potentially pliers to gently pull it up if stuck). Pin out means radiator is on whilst pin in shuts off the radiator.

can the trvs be controlled with a zigbee hub only? all my current zigbee stuff is connected to alexa only and works great, would these be the same?

Drayton Wiser Home Assistant Integration

So, looking good so far - installed the beta around 19:30 yesterday, no disconnections from the wifi or cloud so far - that’s probably but the mockers on it now, but looking good.
