My eTRV it seems has two temperature senders so it can compensate for the heat from the central heating water when measuring air temperature. It also does not seem to turn fully on when under the target temperature, but gradually increases over around 3°C so it is better than a simple mechanical TRV at controlling room temperature.

However there is no reason why it can't use weather forecast to also adjust what it does, however I would guess the IFTTT is limited to if Nest temperature is adjusted then also adjust the eTRV temperature to match? Since I don't have Nest I don't know how it works with Nest.

I don't think I need to alter my eTRV any more, it seems to have settled down, and I can now forget it and let it do its job. However out of interest I would like to know more about this IFTTT and how items in the heating system "talk" to each other.
