Hiii! I'm not sure if this something that is usually solved by VT or outside, but I need an advice / solution
I'm in EU, and I have two AC units in two rooms out of four; as well as one gas boiler connected to radiators in each room, corridor and bathroom. In winter I would like to prioritize heating with ACs, because it's more energy efficient / cheaper, but I still would like to keep temperatures in remote to AC rooms on a nice level, which would require usage of gas boiler from time to time. I have full control over ACs (heating/cooling, target and sensor temps, fan speed) and over boiler (target flow temp), a temperature sensor in each room, as well as outside temperature sensor.
My initial idea was to:
Set each ACs to target of thermostat, supply temperature of a room where AC is located. When room is heated, AC will switch off, even if other rooms are not heated yet. Two distinct climate entities
Set gas boiler heat curve based on target of thermostat - some offset (e.g. 1℃) and average temperature of all rooms. One generic climate entity with automation on top of it for offset and heat curve.
VT to control them
However, when I read more about VT, I understood that maybe my case could be solved by representing gas boiler flow temperature as a valve. Am I overcomplicating things? Is this something that someone in community already did? What would you advice for my use case
