Heating with Radiators & Air Conditioners

[Dmitry Karageur]

Hi guys!

The question is - how you handle in loxone config the heating from different sources?

Before the last update of Intelligent Room Controller (v.2) in IRC gen1 it was pretty straight forward.

It had two heating zones both with analog and digital outputs.

I have used radiators as main zone of heating and AC heating as auxiliary (second) zone heating.

If the demand for heating is normal it drives the valve of radiator and it heats the room with boiled water.

But if the demand for heating was high it opened both main and aux outputs as well and raised the temperature pretty quick using two sources - radiators and AC.

With the new controller v.2 it's not so obvious. You have to add sources to IRC by using outside function block - Climate Controller. 

But I didn't get whether I have to add two of Climate Controllers (for radiator and AC) or only one (for AC) and use common output (H) for radiators. 

The behavior of this new IRC is also seemingly strange. 

Sometimes it doesn't open aux heating for hours though the heating demand it extremely high and vice versa sometimes aux heating is always on while heating demand is low or even off.

Maybe some of you figured it out - how to deal with IRC and a fabric like I have described: common heating with radiators and aux heating with Air Conditioner? 

Please share your solutions

Thanks in advance!
