I bought tuya smart thermostats and they rotate for a second now and then (it sums up when you spend time in that room). It is annoying. Is that normal? Can I stop them from doing that? They shall only rotate when they adjust the temperature.
Do other brands behave the same?
I am really having a hard time understanding what OP is describing. Does anyone have a video example of the phenomenon?
Please explain what you mean by “rotate”. The thermostat is physically turning in-place, as though a wall clock?
Yes
I guess OP is talking about smart TRVs (Thermostatic Radiator Valves).
I’ve been thinking of installing some myself, but this is ones of the things I’ve been worried about.
I also heard that SonOff makes some very silent ones (TRVZB).
Yes. In a quiet room, like a bedroom, everything is loud. I’m not sure if that was better. Less often and shorter would be better
I wouldn’t say silent, it’s very audible when they switch from 6 to 25 °C. But I don’t observe that occasional self regulating behaviour. So I don’t mind.
They all will do that, some more, some less. It’s to stop them from sticking in position.
Thx
Are you talking about smart thermostats on radiant heaters? Then in my experience yes, they turn once in a while when they are around the target temperature
Yes, thx
My Eurotronic ones do the same, I thought they adapt the valve to reach the target temperature
