Advice on Vaillant Sensocomfort

JWilliams89 · 2024-10-12T08:10:34Z

Currently running our arotherm plus 5kw in manual mode for the heating, with the heat curve set at .45. Room temp mod is set to inactive. I'm aware that the controller ignores the desired temp set, and modulates to the heat curve, in manual mode however my question is what happens in time control mode? Does it work the same as manual mode and just modulate to the heat curve or is it trying to use the controller thermometer even though room temp mod is set to inactive? What happens in the setback period? I'd have liked it if there was a way to adjust the heat curve downwards in any setback period however it doesn't seem that that is possible, and I'm concerned it's running off room temp and therefore running less efficiently. I'm basically trying to work out if there is a way to run the ASHP very efficiently, whilst also adjusting the temps down slightly at night as we are finding our daytime temp of around 19c is too hot at night. Am I right in thinking that the way to set up fully weather comp mode is by putting the controller into room temp mod inactive mode? Lastly, any thoughts on the myvaillant app? We currently don't have it as I was happy to use the controller, however I wasn't aware before we got it how many movements through the menu I'd have to take just to turn things on and off! I'm also wondering if the app would be useful for monitoring useage etc.

Just wanted to update on this.

Now that I see Sensocontrol in action, I have so say Vaillant did a pretty good job to make all the useful functions including energy usage easily available via the app. That is, when you manage to get that data flowing through the gateway.. 😉

What is 'Sensocontrol'? I can't find any mention of this anywhere else...
