Heating algorithms

---

Hi everyone,

does anyone have an idea how to optimise heating algorithms?
Right now I handle the whole thing by 2 if-then-rules, e.g.

objective: 20,5°

1. if-then-rule:
   IF $smarthome-room_heating_profile = “warm” and temperature of Door Temperature is less than 20.5 and Window is closed for 5 minutes
   THEN dim heating_room to 4 and after 6 minutes dim heating_room to 28

2. if-then-rule:
   IF $smarthome-room_heating_profile = “warm” and temperature of Door Temperature is greater or equal than 20.4
   THEN dim heating_room to 4

This results into the action that my heating system is opening its valves completely and I am unsure whether this is really smart or not. Any recommendations about this? Maybe an algorithm to optimise it?

Cheers,
Leopold

@leopoldkoenig I would increase the hysteresis of your rules.

I use the Max! Heating system to control my boiler. I read the valve positions and over 60% open I activate the boiler and under 40% I deactivate the boiler. This works very well as the heaters store enough energy to heat the rooms to the desired temperature.

You can also test the thermostat plugin, whichs provides you different control algorithm.

@Icesory you mean that I should increase respectively my max. (20.5) and min. (20.4) temperatures?
