I use the VThermo app and it’s great! > **[VThermo](https://homey.app/en-gb/app/no.almli.thermostat/VThermo/)** > > Virtual thermostat and humidity controller However for my kitchen I’d like to exclude one temperature sensor: the one in the refrigerator. Is there any way to do this? ---

The update just installed. It now has a setting to use the “temperature from thermostat” in the vthermostat. ![Screenshot_2020-02-10-20-46-17-984_app.homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/d/f/df45d2c71c8c419d484109141490ff7d0b8f32f7.jpeg) Could someone please explain a use case. ---

You can use the “temperature from thermostat” if you want to control other heaters based on the temperature measured from thermostats in the same zone. ---

Had a small issue with double notifications. Cause was most probably the Vthermo App. Reported it to @balmli and the issue was immediately investigated and fixed! What a great service. You rock man! ---

Hi, I’ve noticed a small issue. One of my thermostats keeps turning off. When I turn it on again it will turn off after a (random?) intervall. I’ve not tried to remove and recreate the thermostat. What is the purpose of turning thermostats on/off anyway, is it to disable heat control? regards, Dag-Inge ---

Hi, By turning the VThermo device off the heating turns off, and the VThermo device does not control the heating. ---

That’s what I thought. What about the one thermostat that turns off (randomly?) by it self? ---

Well, have you tried to delete and add the VThermo device again? The device should not turn on / off by itself. ---

I have a Heatit Z-water and a Vthermo in the same room, along with a temp sensor from Aqara. The Heatit z-water channel for this room is set as heating and I can switch it on/off manually. The VThermo does not “see” the heater and VThermo only shows temperature in the room, cant set temperature… Is there something I have forgot to do? ---

No, you haven’t forgotten anything… 🙂 The VThermo switches devices with class or virtual class “heater”. But it looks like the Z-water is of type “socket”. This is something I can fix in the next release. ---

I checked the Z-water and it says: Class: socket (Virtual: heater), I can see the same on the Fibaro wall plug (z-wave plus) ---

If the **class** OR **virtualClass** is ‘heater’ it should work. The device must also have an ‘onoff’ capability. I guess you have checked your Z-water from [https://developer.athom.com/tools/devices](https://developer.athom.com/tools/devices) ? ---

Capabilitiy: onoff type: boolean value: false (but i can of course change it to true) So this should work? ---

You can get more information about your devices from this link: [https://developer.athom.com/tools/api-playground](https://developer.athom.com/tools/api-playground) With this command: `Homey.devices.getDevices({ online: true });` and press “Run” Then you can search for the device in the response, and check the “class” and “virtualClass” properties. ---

But, I think if you include socket it would work anyway… My Fibaro wallplug also shows up with the same class socket and virtual heater. This does not work either… [Next page](https://community.homey.app/t/vthermo-app/22796.md?page=2)
