KE100 does not fully close valve
Hello, the KE100 fits directly onto my valve (M30x1.5), but does not fully close the valve if set to FR. The problem seems to be the length of the way between fully open and fully closed. While KE100 has a difference of 11mm (close) to 14mm (fully open), my Heimeier thermostat has 8mm (close) to 14mm (fully open), i.e. even if the KE100 is set on FR, the pin on the valve still extrudes 3mm, which causes considerable heating. There seem to be no adapters for this kind of problem, or are there?
So I was wondering, why Heimeier is on the compatability list.
Are there any solutions for this?

Hello, I have a similar problem - my KE100s aren't fully closing the valves.
Bought 3x KE100 a few days ago, have the MR30 valves (standard pannel house radiators in Czechia if that makes any difference), successfully installed them, added them to the hub and app, updated the firmware and calibrated them. They react to the set temperature, everything seems ok, except that when they close the valve, they don't do it fully, even in the Summer mode, and the heating is on 24/7.
I tried (on 2 of the bought KE100s and 2 different valves):
recalibrating (both in the app and manually, many times)
resetting and callibrating again
Summer mode
I tried the trick you suggested with the coin - but all it did was that it made a bit weirder sound at the end but didn't push that extra needed mm
Please do you have any suggestions? Or is it possible that the motors in KE100 are just not strong enough for the pannel house radiator valves?
My old valve heads close the radiators with no issue.
