Hi @Jimmy Bergetun,

For now, Relay 2 of the CerboGX needs to be manually opened or closed in the Relay menu.

Relay 1 has the possibility of more advanced conditional programming.

Hi Guy,

Is the Relay 2 function still available only for manual operation ? When do you expect to have the Relay 2 to have more advanced conditional programming ?

As I need same feature I checked my Cerbo GX Control Panel and the Relay 2 conditional programming is available in last firmware update.

With the recent updates and support for Ruuvi tag sensors could you comment again on this question? I'd like to do exactly what the OP asked. I have an older Espar D3L heater, the thermostat has just an on/off switch and a dial to control the thermostat. Seams to me that controlling the heater with the Cerbo should be doable.
