I bought tuya smart thermostats and they rotate for a second now and then (it sums up when you spend time in that room). It is annoying. Is that normal? Can I stop them from doing that? They shall only rotate when they adjust the temperature.

Do other brands behave the same?

    Please explain what you mean by “rotate”. The thermostat is physically turning in-place, as though a wall clock?

    They all will do that, some more, some less. It’s to stop them from sticking in position.

    I guess OP is talking about smart TRVs (Thermostatic Radiator Valves).

    I’ve been thinking of installing some myself, but this is ones of the things I’ve been worried about.

    I also heard that SonOff makes some very silent ones (TRVZB).

      Yes. In a quiet room, like a bedroom, everything is loud. I’m not sure if that was better. Less often and shorter would be better
