Hello everyone, and please don’t be too harsh.
Actually, the electric heating resistors (ERRs) have been removed from all rooms except the children’s room.
The thermostat is a rotary type (RTR) from Halmburger, with a scale from 0 to 6.
According to the manual, setting it to level 4 should maintain a temperature of around 20°C (68°F), but in the room it is currently 22°C (72°F), and the actuator is open, so the room is being heated. If I set the room thermostat to level 3, you hear a click and the actuator closes, but shortly after it opens again, even though the room temperature remains just under 22°C (72°F) and the RTR is still set to level 3.
Shouldn’t the RTR only open the actuator again once the temperature in the room drops below, I think, 16°C (61°F) at setting 3 on the RTR?
Or am I making a mistake in my thinking? The temperature is measured directly next to the RTR.
Shouldn’t the RTR cut power to the actuator when the room temperature reaches a certain value? I understand that these analog RTRs aren’t very precise, but a deviation of 6–7°C (11–13°F) seems quite large to me.

Draft present?
How "cold" is the wall where the thermostat is located (is it an exterior wall)?

I can’t help technically, but speaking from personal experience, determining the room temperature is not that straightforward. For example, I bought some Zigbee sensors that are placed on the wall thermostats (at a height of 1.4m (4.6 ft), but directly on the wall). These sensors tend to measure slightly lower temperatures than, for example, a thermostat positioned freely in the room.
Also, a curtain in front of the room thermostats can distort the measurement results.
An IR thermometer is quite useful for this purpose.
