We'd need to see the logic of your automation to help on this one. The full graph would be good too.
But, why use an automation as a thermostat instead of a generic thermostat integration?
I use the generic thermostat but I want to switch the TRVs to different temperatures/states depending on a schedule and if we are at home or not. The automation changed over the last 3 or 4 years but basicly it was one of my first experiments with HA. It worked flawless and did what it should.
Maybe it's not the best or refined but it worked.
Why the
float + 1
for some values? Also you're using<
, maybe try<=
I was young and... I don't know why I used it a few years ago. I will try your suggestion.
Ok, now I know why. without the +1 the automation does not trigger when the temperature is over the target and the TRVs running on idle. The +1 triggers the automation and switches them off until the room temperature is under the target temperature. So it does not explain why the mode is switched from heat to off or the other way around in the target +1° range.
