I am due to receive my first TRV tomorrow and have been reading through the forums in preparation. I couldn’t find a designated thread for this specific device so thought it’s worthwhile making one to aggregate what I’ve found.
It seems there are a variety of device handlers:
/**
* This started off originally from the work Tom Philip did and the submission here:
* https://github.com/tommysqueak/SmartThingsPublic/blob/master/devicetypes/tommysqueak/danfoss-living-connect-radiator-thermostat.src/danfoss-living-connect-radiator-thermostat.groovy
*
* I've never used GitHub so probably got the etiquet wrong here, but wanted to reference who did the lion share of the work!
*
* This was originally for Danfoss Living Connect Radiator Thermostat LC-13, but I want it to work with POPP POPE010101 Z-Wave Radiator Thermostat (TRV)
*
* Main difference is POPP can report back actual temperature rather than just set point

* Revision History
* ==============================================
* 2019-01-16 - Added device min & max setpoint limits that Alexa and Google Home rely on.
* 2019-01-16 - Showing the last time the device checked in. For piece of mind and troubleshooting.
* 2017-09-16 - Uses the 'official' colour range for showing off the temperature.

It also seems there is a few options for apps:
Hi, I don’t understand what you mean by your statements above…
You want to set your setpoints manually (at the unit) or in the smartapp?
You want what to come down? Your vents?
You do not share any of your configuration regarding the remote sensors.
For examples:
1) What’s the thermostat mode?
The “auto” mode logic is different from the cooling mode logic.
2) Did you enable temp adjustment based on your indoor temp/motion sensors in GeneralSetup page?
If yes, then the smartapp will adjust your thermostat’s setpoints based on the avg temp calculations from
your remote sensors and your current thermostat’s temperature.
If you do not want to adjust your setpoints, then set the above flag to false.
3) Did you enable mode/temp adjustment based on outdoor temp sensor?
Again, if yo…
I’d be very grateful for opinions on what works best out of these options. Also, are there free apps available?
