What is the feature?

Description

I suggest implementing a specialized mode for Tado thermostats to address excessive valve movements during temperature calibrations. Currently, every minor offset adjustment triggers full open/close cycles of the radiator valve approximately every 5 minutes. This frequent mechanical activity causes two primary issues: noticeable noise disturbances in living spaces due to constant valve actuation, and accelerated battery drain where current power duration has dropped to just 15% of original performance levels.

Additional Information

I get why BT calibrates the offset so frequently, but I feel like adjusting it once (max, twice) per hour would also result in good enough calibration while minimizing the battery drain and (I admit subjective) noise disturbance.

Maybe there could also be a threshold, under which no offset changes would be made.

I hope this description is understandable, I'm no developer but trying my best.

You can try to enable the "HomematicIP" flag, it increases the delay for processing changes from 1min to 10min. The overall implementation of this delay isn't rly great (blocking all sensor/status updates instead of just the TRV control loop, and discarding the events instead of delaying them), but it might help your situation,

Once the overall event-system is fixed and reimplemented though, it should also be easily possible to make the time adjustable.
