Internal_temp or external_temp are not set

Hi
I have configured versatile thermostat with 3 TRVs (thermostatc valves)
I works but I get this error in the HA logs:
Logger: custom_components.versatile_thermostat.pi_algorithm
Source: custom_components/versatile_thermostat/pi_algorithm.py:42
Integration: Versatile Thermostat configuration (documentation, issues)
First occurred: 15:20:35 (12 occurrences)
Last logged: 15:21:39
Internal_temp or external_temp are not set. Regulation will be suspended

What is the reason for ?
Thanks
Phil

This is because as said in the error message, the internal temperature or the external temperature are not set.
Check your temperature sensor configuration and that they are working (giving a temperature).

It is possible at startup to have this message while waiting for temperature sensors but this should not persist

Yes it seems and happen at the beginning only

First occurred: 15:20:35 (12 occurrences)
Last logged: 15:21:39

So 12 occurrences during the first minute then nothing up to 16:52

Thanks

@jmcollin78, maybe the following change in pi_algorithm.py could help interpreting the issue. It's very common with Zigbee/Thread networks for sensors that are far away and have zigbee/thread routers inbetween, because they need to boot first.

if internal_temp is None:
    _LOGGER.warning("Temporarily skipping the self-regulation algorithm while the configured sensor for room temperature is unavailable")
    return self.target_temp
if external_temp is None:
    _LOGGER.warning("Temporarily skipping the self-regulation algorithm while the configured sensor for outdoor temperature is unavailable")
    return self.target_temp

yep. will take this for next release.
