A trigger option when the thermostat is heating would be very helpful to optimize energy saving.I would like to switch on a fan with a smart socket when the thermostat is starting to heat to improve the heating. But many other options would be possible with a heating trigger.

Given the working principle of the Kasa thermostat valve, its heating state may be challenging to use as a smart action trigger, at least from my point of view. The valve regulates the temperature by controlling the flow of hot water. Unlike a heater, which has a one-time on/off operation, the valve operates intermittently and continuously. 

 

It aims to keep the temperature stable by gently opening and closing the valve. If it completely turns off when reaching the set temperature, it may lead to a significant temperature drop, requiring more energy for re-heating.
