EMS-ESP is an open-source firmware for the Espressif ESP8266 and ESP32 microcontroller that communicates with EMS (Energy Management System) based equipment from manufacturers like Bosch, Buderus, Nefit, Junkers, Worcester and Sieger.
If you like EMS-ESP, please give it a star, or fork it and contribute!
Note, EMS-ESP requires a small hardware circuit that can convert the EMS bus data to be read by the microcontroller. These can be ordered at https://bbqkees-electronics.nl.
