OpenTherm gateway has been put between the heater and the thermostat. This way we are able to read the OpenTherm communication between them, and control the heater using the gateway. It is a board with a PIC controller that already came pre-flashed. It can be used with a FTDI cable or you can put an ESP8266 based NodeMCU board on it and communicate with that over Wifi. We went for the latter. The ESP8266 runs Espeasy with [https://www.letscontrolit.com/wiki/index.php/Ser2Net Ser2Net].

We installed [https://github.com/jodur/py-otgw-mqtt py-otgw-mqtt] on [[Jarvis]] to have the OpenTherm stuff available via MQTT. It is running as user otgw-mqtt. A /etc/init.d/otgw-mqtt has been made so that the service can be stopped and started through init, and is has been set to autostart. In the future we might want to look at [https://www.home-assistant.io/components/climate.opentherm_gw/] but for this we need to run 0.78, which probably means we have to reinstall Home Assistant, possibly in docker for easy updates.
We do not use [https://github.com/jodur/py-otgw-mqtt py-otgw-mqtt] on [[Jarvis]] anymore but are using native OpenTherm support in Home Assistant.

What

OpenTherm gateway has been put between the heater and the thermostat. This way we are able to read the OpenTherm communication between them, and control the heater using the gateway. It is a board with a PIC controller that already came pre-flashed. It can be used with a FTDI cable or you can put an ESP8266 based NodeMCU board on it and communicate with that over Wifi. We first went for the ESP8266. The ESP8266 ran Espeasy with Ser2Net. We later changed it with USR-TCP232-T2.

Wiring

Boiler: Remeha Calenta (http://www.archiproducts.com/en/products/revis/wall-mounted-condensation-boiler-remeha-calenta-25l_225443)

Integration with home assistant

We do not use py-otgw-mqtt on Jarvis anymore but are using native OpenTherm support in Home Assistant.

For the CH return water temperature to be reported successfully the serial command AA=28 has been issued (http://otgw.tclcode.com/firmware.html#dataids). This command should persist in the OTGW and only be needed once. If however the return water temperature is once again missing and the Calenta is still used the command may be issued again.
