Direct valve position control (e.g. for bleeding, etc.)

alexvs

According to the API documentation (link), one can get the position of the valve (/thermostats/0, "pos" attribute).

How can one directly SET the position of the valve (e.g. fully open or fully close)?

Such a feature is needed for situations when particular valve positions (at least fully open and fully closed) are required regardless of the target and measured temperatures, for example:

- when bleeding the radiators (the valve must be fully open)

- if a pipe/radiator has to be replaced/repaired, or any other related activity (the valve must be fully closed)

- when performing complete valve open-close cycles, in order to prevent it from becoming stuck/calcified/etc.

Agree.

Although you could just set the valve to 0% or 100%

I wasn't aware of this functionality when I wrote my post, but it defently works fine. Already tested.

When you disable automatic temperature control, the valve can be set in any position.

In those (and I can imagine most...) of the cases, yes, one could do just that.
