Happy new year fellow homey users!

I moved to my new house and of course the first thing that needs to be done is making it smart 🙂

As the radiator is sitting under the window ledge it’s temperature sensing is definitely off as heat tends to accumulate there. So I am using one of my Aeotec MultiSensor to get the temperature and regulate the Spirit valve but it seems like the spirit just keeps heating at 100% no matter what I do. As soon as I tell the spirit to stop using external temperature readings it closes the valve as it reads 25degrees and the set temperature is at 19.

So I am wondering if I did something wrong with the association and it is actually not getting any temperature information?

As I understand correctly just the value sending device needs to be associated?

EDIT:

AEOTEC Multisensor was included with USB Power and is USB powered.

Spirit Valve Settings:

I never figure out how you can send the Room Temperature per Association to the Spirit?! And I use a lot of Associations. (MS -\> Light! RS3 -\>RS3, DoorSensor -\> Light, etc.)  
But you can also send the Room Temperature from external Sensor to the spirit using a flow. Did you already try it?
