Heating BDR sensor not consistently updating

[lloyda]

Looking at the sensor for my heating relay (binary_sensor.13_197705_active), it does not seem to be getting updated consistently, and sometimes not at all.

Having observed the packets, I expected this (filtered) set of packets would have been the ones that updated the sensor, but that does not seem to be the case. Are you using something else?

@lloyda Can you ask these questions at https://community.home-assistant.io/t/honeywell-ch-dhw-via-rf-evohome-sundial-hometronics-chronotherm/151584 for now?

It uses the 'modulation_level' from this packet, actuator_state, and also from actuator_cycle - whichever is most recent.

There should be an actuator_cycle RP every 60 seconds.

Will do. It was 50/50 where I posted it, so I'll carry this conversation on there.

@lloyda Is this fixed now (since 0.16.20) please?

[lloyda]

Yes. Can now be closed. Thanks

You can't close it yourself? Or would you prefer I do it for you? ;)
