Does the Thermostat control the temperature in a room with a valve?
The valve on one of my radiators is enclosed in a built-in shelf so a Netatmo TRV will not properly sense the temperature. Luckily, this room is also the room my thermostat is in.
Does the Thermostat's recorded temperature override the smart valve's recorded temperature and signal to open and close the valve accordingly?
This would be great because right now I have the gate valve throttled down to nothing to keep the room from overheating during normal operation.

It will but the system will still take the readings from the Valve into account as well which will result in incorrect measurements as well.
Enclosed radiators are always a problem. There are „analog“ valves with remote temperature probes that can be placed up to 2m away.
An alternative would be to mount an actuator instead of a Valve and wire that one to the Thermostat. That would eliminate the temperature reading point right next to the radiator, but you will have to run cables and need a power source close by.
Thanks, that's not what I was hoping for, but it does give me an idea of how to deal with it if this doesn't work.
