Integrate netatmo valve

[Daximino]

when i attach into better thermostat a netatmo valve, it command the valve to heat at 30 degrees in random time.

Dear user,

Please follow the mandatory bug reporting template, providing version numbers, configuration information/diagnostic data, debug logs, graphs of your entities showing the behavior, etc.

If you do not provide more information, we will not be able to help you, and your issue will have to be closed.

I have two netatmo valve version firmware netatmo 102.
I habe installed last version of better thermostat configured with target temperature based an calibration normal.
Netatmo application has program fixed to 20 degrees more times in few hours the temperature of the valve is modified to 30 degrees

Maybe your room is 10°C below the TRV temperature, and therefore rly needs to be offset by that much? As said, without actual data from your system we cannot tell you the cause/reason of your problem.

[Daximino]

Which data do you want? I can attach everything.
The difference between the valve and the temperature sensor is at maximum 4 degrees

@Daximino As said, current (debug) logs and matching graphs, then I can look into why it still might not be working.

Hi,
I have done the debug log of the problem, i have set the Cucina valve to 20 degrees, I have checked and the valve has gone to 30 degrees.
This is the log.

2025-01-17 16:40:06.026 DEBUG (MainThread) [custom_components.better_thermostat.events.trv] better_thermostat None: TRV climate.cucina decoded TRV target temp changed from 20.0 to 30.0
Your BT target temperature actually changed, not just the valve itself. Your TRV reported an unexpected change from 20 to 30°C, so BT is adjusting to that.

Did you consider the known issues and the proposed workaround?

#1532 - Temperatur changes without manual change (usually an issue with the TRV, try enabling child lock in BT)

[Daximino]

I have set 'Ignore all inputs on the TRV like a child lock'.
Now i attend

@KartoffelToby I feel like half our issues are just based around this one single problem, and even putting a warning everywhere won't be enough - I propose to change the default state to locked for the child lock option, and make it something like an "allow changes on TRV (update BT setpoint accordingly - WARNING: Many TRVs send erroneous changes)" flag. What do you think? Or maybe make the warning a secondary (really keep activated / disable ) confirmation after continuing in the config flow, with a more detailed explanation and link.

Edit: That's what I'd propose, in regards tou your #1552 (comment)
Base-issue: #1532

Alternative idea:
See if we can heuristically catch this in any way in BT (probably not reliable, but better than nothing), and at least try to autmatically generate a repair indication, if observed (if the indication is acknowledged once as false-positive "not an issue" by the user, don't prompt again)

I have enabled child lock' in BT but i continue to have a valve netatmo that set to 30 degrees.

Logs?

[folfy]

Unless logs are provided, we'll have to close this issue.

debug log
Depending on how complicated you issue is, it might be necessary to enable debug logging for BT,
reproduce the issue, and then upload this logfile here.
https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/configuration/troubleshooting/#enabling-debug-logging

graphs
For issues in regards to the calibration / control routines, it is very helpful to also
provide statistics graph screenshots from HA for the following entities (from the time you had issues):

• BT climate entity
• TRV climate entities controlled by BT
• (optional) Valve opening states
