That wiring centre isn’t dumb so you’re going to have issues with the Fibaro I reckon - you just needed a really basic wiring centre as that has loads of built in functions that you will need to override. Have you installed it ..? Expand Lol only just ordered it . Can cancel it . What should I order ??
PeterW Posted January 1, 2021 Posted January 1, 2021 Heatmiser is expensive crap in my opinion and it goes out of date quickly and you can’t just upgrade bits of it when it breaks. Simple 8 channel UFH wiring centre off eBay is £45.. 1

Expand ordered ! . I’ll get those actuators from wunda also . @ProDave needs to shut down his ebay shop ????
Pocster Posted January 16, 2021 Author Posted January 16, 2021 I’ve wired this up correctly I think ? Can turn my fibaro z wave relay on and off which in turn activated the actuator ( though I broke one of the clips !! ) Pump is wired off S1 ( L1 and N ) . But when I enable an actuator ( actuator flashing led as it calibrates ) the pump doesn’t come on . It has to doesn’t it ???
Pocster Posted January 16, 2021 Author Posted January 16, 2021 Ok . I left it for 5 minutes- it’s now switched the pump on .
Pocster Posted January 16, 2021 Author Posted January 16, 2021 Assuming this all works correctly what things should I take into account to control the ufh . All done via software . Do I take the external temperature and use that to adjust the ufh ? Perhaps use occupancy of a room to activate ufh ( though its slow to heat so not sure about this ) Any other suggestions to take into account ??
Gav_P Posted January 16, 2021 Posted January 16, 2021 On my system the pump is delayed by 3 minutes to allow time for the actuators to fully open.

I’m just testing 1 zone at the moment , the bathroom . If has aeon multi sensors in it - so I can read the room temperature there .

Pocster Posted January 16, 2021 Author Posted January 16, 2021 Flow and return pipes for this zone don’t seem particularly warm . I assume I should be able to feel the heat at this point ??
Pocster Posted January 16, 2021 Author Posted January 16, 2021 Oh you thick (expletive deleted) ! Of course ALL the valves are open ! But I assume if I turn off the only installed actuator ( bathroom ) - power off will close the loop . So no heating in the bathroom ?!
Pocster Posted January 16, 2021 Author Posted January 16, 2021 What I’m saying is with zero power applied the actuator pin is in ; so if installed zone would be heated . So powering it closes the valve . So I’m heating all of upstairs apart from the bathroom???
Gav_P Posted January 16, 2021 Posted January 16, 2021 Have all the other zones got the caps screwed down (where the actuators will go)? If so this is opening all the loops isn’t it? Take the caps off and it will close the loops of I’m guessing.
Gav_P Posted January 16, 2021 Posted January 16, 2021 You should be able to see if the other zones are circulating by looking at the flow regs?

The caps are on but loose I.e pin is up - zones open So I guess I’m saying I need to power the zones for heating off ? - but shouldn’t the pump be off then ???
