I feel kind of stupid, but I can’t create a flow to control a floor valve. I bought a Tado smart thermostat. I want the flow to open the valve when the temperature is lower than the set value of the thermostat. How do I make the flow? ---

I think a clarification is needed. It is a wall thermostat. I want to turn a smart plug on and off depending the set temperature value and the actual temperature. (The smart plug turns on and off a valve for floor heating.) I cannot find any relevant flow tag for this. Please help me. ---

Create a number-variable ‘target temperature’ WHEN Temperature has changed AND Temperature is less then ‘target temperature’ (Logic-card) THEN open valve ELSE Close valve ---

Thank you very much. I will try this. ---

Or even better, two flows. One for opening the valve and another with a slightly higher target temperature for closing. This way the valve will not be going back and forth a lot if the temperature is fluctuating around the target temperature. ---

I don’t understand. These are the tags that I get when I choose Tado’s thermostat. (I have translated tags from Swedish. Maybe it’s not correct.) Battery alarm … Humidity … TEMPERATURE IS BETWEEN … AND … Open window … Is on Smart Schedule is activated THE TARGET TEMPERATURE IS BETWEEN … AND … ---

Are these WHEN or AND tags ? ‘TEMPERATURE IS BETWEEN … AND …’ sounds like AND (requirement) and not an WHEN (Trigger/event).. ---

Thank you all. I have to leave the summerhouse now. Will make another try next time. Probably I have to by an other wall thermostat. ---

Maybe you can tell which type of Tado thermostat and which app you are using? So we can see by ourselves which cards are available. ---

I could not find what type of roomthermostat is included in the package. So it is not clear which app does support this thermostat.
