The various DHW sensors are not as expected about ramses_cc HOT 2 OPEN

While I have seen many systems that don’t use any appliance control. I have yet to see a system that uses the Evohome HW kit but no HW valve device. So if there is a stored_hotwater 07: sensor, there should be a 13: hotwater_valve

The only time I can see that the hotwater_valve can have a relay that isnt detected is if someone managed to pair the old read only obsolete relay units. But I don’t even know if those would pair in HW mode. The HW kit always came with a BDR91

sensor.01_078710_hw_heat_demand does not track the HW heat demand. Infact it doesn’t appear to be updating at all. Maybe a bug. I have raised this.

...

FA_relay_demand is not an entity that is created by ramses_cc automatically you have to create it using a field template from the climate.01_078710 state attributes

sensor.13_109598_relay_demand does a better job at tracking the DHW demand. But it often has a delay.

However the binary_sensor.13_109598_active is by far the best indication of real demand on the DHW valve. And given that DHW can only ever be 0% or 100%, this is the sensor I prefer.

EC needs to be able to work with the default settings provided by HA and ramses_cc…Not everyone is a tinkerer.
