Boiler switched on with all valves closed

Post by gbragante »

Hello,
I only have the Netatmo thermostat for less than one month.
It happened a few times that a valve is supposed to trigger the boiler, the boiler switches on but the valve remains closed.
This condition lasts forever because the valve will never reach the set temperature if it is closed. And in the meantime the boiler keeps heating the water without circulating it into the radiators.
The only way to get out of this condition for me is switching of the relay.
Has this happened to somebody else?
Thanks
Gianni

Hi,
what firmware versions do you have on your devices? Have you tried recalibrating the valves?

I have firmware 189 / 69 / 66
Re-calibrating the valves does not resolve the issue

I did experienced similiar issue. It was mechanical / calibration issue. Netatmo promised firmware with calibration fix within few weeks, but i fixed it with replacing mechanical valve on the radiator.

If it was a mechanical issue how do you explain that I can fix it by power cycling the relay and without touching the valve itself?

That depends - it solves boiler heating or valve closing?

It has not happened again but power-cycling the relay resolved the problem that the boiler was swtiched on without the valve being opened
