Hi,

at the moment I think, I don´t get the Homey principle right.

Comming from 2 other smarthome platforms, I am used to have “only” thermostat valves in smaller rooms. Or to have 1 to n thermostat vales (conventional radiator heating) and a seperated room thermostat.

Then, the smarthome did follow the control of the room thermostat.  
No special setup, besides marking the stand alone thermostat “master”.

How to I achive this in homey?

For the rooms without central thermostat, I run own advanced flows, with no pain.  
(day/night/away..)

Thanks,  
Ralf
