In which hub/gateway does the Zigbee thermostat work?

Why doesn't the radiator get warm when I set the temperature?


This is primarily dependent on the current room temperature. This is determined 20 cm in front of the thermostat. If the difference is equal to or less than 1 °C, the heating requirement is not yet detected. Only when there is a larger difference does the valve slowly open and begin to heat up.



Why does the valve not close when the target temperature is reached?


To heat the room evenly, the thermostat heats beyond the target temperature. This ensures that the set temperature is reached even in the farthest corner of the room.
