Boiler monitoring? #1

Closed ErwinP closed 1 year ago

ErwinP commented 1 year ago

Hi,

Saw this passing by on Hackster.io, looks super interesting! I was wondering, when I hook up my boiler with this, can I use it to monitor rather than control it? With my current thermostat still connected and in control?

Thanks! Erwin

Hi Erwin, no that is not possible. For this purpose you need a gateway to put in between your boiler and thermostat, that acts as a thermostat towards your boiler and as a boiler towards your thermostat. -Jeroen

What kind of boiler do you own? I do have hardware and software to read out Remeha boilers, tested on an Avanta. Would you be interested? In this setup the thermostat keeps connected and you can read a lot of information from your boiler (setpoints for boiler temperature, flow and return temperature, DHW temperature, fan speed, gas value, and a lot more.
