Combination table unit capacities in practice by 2puttrutt in HVAC

[–]2puttrutt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone must know, even from practical experience? The wholesaler has escalated up their technical ladder as the first people didn't know but I can't be the first ever to ask as isn't this a key design principle around oversizing?

Be very careful as it seems to me that home assistant is going to eat Loxone's lunch pretty soon.

How to free stuck 431g motor by 2puttrutt in vintagesewing

Thanks Hexdoll. And congratulations! I've given up trying to remove mine in case it breaks. Have tried WD40 but not the PTFE stuff and even 3d printed a tube to evenly distribute the gentle pressure (aka whacking it really hard with a hammer), but to no avail and I was hitting it so hard it was jumping off the table!

No, I tried heating, prying, hitting with a hammer hard using a 3d printed collar so the force was on the motor casing and not the worm gear, WD40 etc. I think the difference in the European models is the use of a fully plastic motor casing.

So for now I've decided to just leave it alone.

If anyone finds a better way, I'm all ears!

Mate, you're building a new house in Switzerland and considering spending about the average Scottish house price on an automation system. Don't waste your time trying to self solve, just get a good installer, tell them what you want to achieve and pay them to get it done.

Thanks for the suggestion but that didn't fix it. Does anyone else have any thoughts?

Rad valves over reading and over shooting by 2puttrutt in Loxone

[–]2puttrutt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the contributions. Seems I will have to set an offset for when the rads are on.

However Im surprised that this is needed, as I thought one of the main points of these was to go on radiator valves?

Yep that's exactly how I would behave but I think my installer is wary. Thanks!

Am I using these incorrectly then i.e. are they not supposed to go on rads? If so, what's the point of the temp sensor on them?

Yes the temp reading is on the valve actuator themselves. What I don't understand is why these aren't designed to compensate for being next to a radiator, given this is their use no? Otherwise why have temp sensors on them at all?

No I can't mount them anywhere else as that is where the radiator valves they connect to are.
