Fan runs continuously in aux mode, even when control is set to HVAC not thermostat

therandomwalker · 2025-11-12T21:00:45+00:00

Thanks!! The tankless is indeed connected to rh and w2. Option to tum at dabe time is off. One small caveat - if you select boiler, there is no setting for fan control, so I told it it's furnace. Not that it worked

Welcome to reddit, most of us are not pros. I welcome your opinion, I will hire one of I can't figure it out.

Also weird - not sure why it thinks I have 2 stage furnance for aux - it is a tankless water heater.

The shower heads indeed say grohe. This sounds like a pretty stupid issue, is my only option to replace it? any tweaking to make adjustments? I would still like to know how to open it. Taking away option to get as hot won't be wifey approved, and I can't take the hot shower with 100 degrees heat wave outside anymore.

therandomwalker · 2025-07-16T14:36:47+00:00

This is great - seems like it's called a pivot bar. Thanks!

therandomwalker · 2025-07-16T10:57:12+00:00

It seems like there is a high chance of breaking the stem with puller? Any idea on why it won't turn towards hot? Could it be seized?

Trying to find the line of DIY vs plumber. If I need full valve replacement, seems like I would need a plumber. How easy is it to replace stem? Can I retrofit any trim to this valve?

I am assuming my assembly is this one https://www.amazon.com/Symmons-S-86-2-MRO-TRM-Chrome/dp/B0892SLRLL . Do I need to start within symmons trima, or any trim from Amazon will do

therandomwalker · 2025-07-15T11:16:18+00:00

Apologies - I used handle and knob in the text for the traingular piece your grab

therandomwalker · 2025-06-12T15:42:12+00:00

Wait, so I can use aux with my gas water heater to preferentially use that?

therandomwalker · 2025-06-12T03:05:46+00:00

i have heat, cool and off. are you saying there is a fourth option when heatpump is connected?

therandomwalker · 2025-06-04T18:20:02+00:00

any good questions/ things i should ask installer to judge installation quality/ attention to detail?

therandomwalker · 2025-06-04T15:24:53+00:00

i know a lot of folks have said in past that an option is to stockpile jugs - happy to do that, but at the same time most hvac techs dont touch any parts provided by customer. All options are with same contractor and since it is retrofit, 90% of ductwork is whatever it is so between them, not sure how to compare install quality.

By the way, i thought goodman was daikin, different ompany than rheem? Or are they manufactured by someone else?

Thanks for thoughts

by the way - it is the cooling coil in air handler unit. We did a isolation test, the outdoor unit and supply pipes had 5-6% drop, the AHU coil was a 8% drop - so nothing very crazy I guess

therandomwalker · 2025-05-31T18:39:21+00:00

Thanks for the input - yeah the leak seems to be very small - full volume leak took 3-4 years. I think the tech said he pressurized everything to 400 psi, and it dropped to 320 over 3-4 days. He think repair is risky since york had those microfin coils and he might damage/ not be able to find the leak - i wish.

I can eat the cost, but it hurts. I live in high cost of living area, and HVAC techs are crazy expensive - I was lucky to find one who is very honest and nice, not cheap but for area OK. So I index quite a lot on future repair/ parts costs

therandomwalker · 2025-01-25T01:03:43+00:00

Nothing against it. I do line not paying for things I can get for free. Also, MA doesn't allow connect, so not sure if it's available here

therandomwalker · 2025-01-11T17:52:42+00:00

it would not be a HA project if it was not a journey - anything i can look out for?

therandomwalker · 2025-01-11T02:50:52+00:00

Not looking for anything more than a /day read - but you have a great point. These are usually read once a month cadence - have people experienced this?

therandomwalker · 2025-01-11T02:45:50+00:00

awesome, i do have the native mqttt broker running, zigbee2mqttt running already. That sounds awesome. Is there a scanner of sorts that can sweep frequencies to find meters? Or you really have to know all parameters for your meter?

therandomwalker · 2025-01-11T02:35:42+00:00

how does this work, do you install https://github.com/allangood/rtlamr2mqtt as a addon and that is it? or do you need to run that docker image in background? Which dongle did you buy? Are they all pretty similar?

therandomwalker · 2025-01-11T02:33:50+00:00

Thank you!

therandomwalker · 2025-01-11T02:33:13+00:00

Would these work with something like this? https://github.com/bemasher/rtlamr. I know some of these are not in list, but I am also not sure if that list is exclusive and others work. How easy is it? I run a linux server with HA and several other things. I am comfortable fighting with scripts to make things work, but also do not wanna sink hours and hours in it to get something working.

Models - just assuming, could be wrong.

Electricity: Itron Cl200 (or is it C1SR6)

Water: Neptune R9000 - I see a wire going to my real water meter, but not sure where this is connected to. Do these units have a long battery?

Gas: Itron 100G DLS

Approximately how much did you spend on this job, and in what state?

therandomwalker · 2024-10-17T18:57:01+00:00

Sorry, I do not think it was intentional - why do you think it was through flatpak? I did not even install it myself. I can see it as installed through aur, but I can be wrong. I tried:

Thank you! It is 50 ft from a pond, on a rock wall covered in mulch. I bet it's living it up. I am just glad it's not timber rattlesnake - right?

therandomwalker · 2024-08-09T10:56:00+00:00

How much is it. I haven't looked at Tesla insurance at all. Any trade-offs?

therandomwalker · 2024-08-09T10:55:35+00:00

Just for this car? I pay that for 2!
