Hi
I like too much this software plugin and I use it for a long time.
However I noticed that when I put the selector of the widget thermostat control on the "Off" position.If the thermostat needs to warm up (temp <setpoint) after a certain time (1 hour) the heaters are running in spite of the selector level.
When this happens and if i am aware I have to cut manually the heaters.
This is very annoying when we need to cut off all the heatings devices due to a very high fare of the electricity.
Do you observe this? If yes how do you fix that concern.
update 03/04/2026:
these heaters are commnded throught MQTT ad
the relays are shelly 1
after some searches i finally conclude that the plugins has nothing to see but i have strong presumptions about the mqtt command. I am doing some test either to see if mqtt is not able to send orders to my actuators without any outside commands od the plugin itself

Hi,
Interesting issue. Since you mention MQTT-AD and Shelly relays, it may be worth checking the MQTT logs to see if the ON command is really coming from the thermostat plugin or from another automation/script.A look at events, dzVents or MQTT messages history could help identify the source of the unexpected command.
