Hot Water Temperature Function

[dmelliott20]

Hi

ive enabled and added my tank thermometer and set the temp target to 60c as explained in the wiki.

when I try to boost my hot water - the boost lasts for a maximum of 2 mins before cancelling and returning to auto

Am i missing something?

To confirm the feature works as expected if the hot water heating is triggered via the schedule.

It is the boost functionality that appears to have a bug when used with the hot water temperature parameters.

I'll look at this for the next release. There are some other bugs/poor features in this functionality that I need to address.

Sorry but this may not make the next release. As I have been working through it, I think there are some logical issues on how this functions to be addressed which may take some time. However, you can help with my thinking.

So, we currently use the term boost to be similar to heating but you can't really boost hotwater but only turn it on/off for a period of time. I assume, you do not expect boost to heat the water higher than the target temp?

As such, is the expectation to be able to turn the water on for x period of time (also to be able to turn it off for a period of time??). When you do this, I then presume this should keep the water heated to the target temp for that period of time? What happens if you have the mode set to once, does it just heat once to the target temp and turn off if 'boost' time finishses before reaching that?

Sorry for the rambling question but if you can explain how you would see it working that would help. I have a combi boiler so don't have the use cases in mind.

Thanks mark, I think you’re right the term boost gets confusing. There could maybe be a “boost once” and a “boost for x hrs” The “boost once” would heat the water to temperature and then switch off. The “boost for x hours” would cover the multiple baths and showers scenarios in big family’s. You could argue this last use case should be achieved using a schedule to be honest. But for our family it would be useful. Dave On 13 Nov 2024, at 18:38, Mark Parker ***@***.***> wrote:  Sorry but this may not make the next release.

So, just released v3.4.13 with a largely reworked hw climate automation that I think makes good logical sense. Updated wiki pages here: - https://github.com/asantaga/wiserHomeAssistantPlatform/wiki/In-Built-Automations#hot-water-climate

Let me know.

Got an issue when updating with the integration, I’ve created a separate git issue

Let me know what you think when you have chance (now it actually works!!) :-)
