"summer mode" to keep radiator valves open during summer
The problem is: If I connect all the smart radiator thermostats to my zone controller and I don't want to heat any room (because it is summer now) this results in all the radiators being 'closed' (or 'blocked').
This makes the total central heating system volume smaller (since the radiators are essentially cut off from the total volume of the system, they're 'blocked').
Now when I tap hot water from my shower for example, the water in the remainder of the central heating system warms up a bit (due to thermal radiation in the combi-boiler) and the water expands. This causes the pressure in the central heating system to increase too much.

Total open for valves during summer
this is crucial!!! please apply - simple all-in function - totally open valves!!!! (easiest feature, because boost is already ready - just use boost feature and set the time to indefinite / until overwritten by schedule/manual….. !!!!

When you use hot water for a shower, your circulating water for your radiator heats up too? This sounds like a broken system to me.
Also, when there is too much pressure in the heating circuit, a valve will open and release the excess pressure. When the pressure drops, you will need to add water, but all this is usually handled by the expansion tank.

New user here and I raise my voice as well on this topic. It’s absolutely absurd that this function still haven’t been implemented.
The absence of this function may mean damage to the heating system and to the valves as well0
