Cheers. It's the mqtt autodiscovery that doesn't seem to work. The opentherm device should send out an mqtt message under the "homeassistant" topic containing details of each entity it reports, as I understand it this is required for Home Assistant to autodetect the device and its entities...

Re: Creating my own OTGW firmware for the NodoShop version

HI, I wonder if anyone could advise, I'm probably missing something. I have a gateway installed and using OTGW-firmware (version 0.10.3+e334c42) on an ESP device attached and for a couple of years it's been working fine. I've had it reporting to MQTT into Home Assistant and it's been great. Recently...

Re: updating firmware via otmonitor

I had a similar problem, it turned out I'd forgotten to set the logging levels to 0 (see Nodo manual) which meant the firmware upload was being interrupted. Cheers, this was definitely set for me. I've switched to the alternative firmware mentioned above which seems to be working. In hindsight I su...

Re: updating firmware via otmonitor

Maybe the ESPEasy firmware was not configured correctly. I have tested upgrading the OTGW firmware with ESPEasy R147 and can confirm that it works. You can also try the NodeMCU firmware created by another user on the forum . That doesn't require any configuration, other than your WiFi network. Ok c...

Re: updating firmware via otmonitor

Feel like I'm missing something really obvious to be honest, I don't do a great deal with electronics. Yes. So this : https://i.imgur.com/Lq7NwTZ.png I had TX/RX mixed, I read that image as "this is the TX pin/cable" so obviously that's where I should connect RX right from the other side ...

Re: updating firmware via otmonitor

That should definitely just work, even without pulling the power. Can you activate logging in OTmonitor and then issue the following two commands: 'PR=A', 'GW=R'? Then provide the log to me. You can just zip it up and attach it to a message here. Hmm there's very little in the log file. otdata.txt ...

Re: updating firmware via otmonitor

On the face of it I don't think it's a bad wifi ignal. The wifi-mesh app shows it's connected to the nearest mesh node and signal strength is high. I've unplugged the gateway from the boiler and brought it up stairs (mesh app shows it's moved to the correct node). Tried uploading firmware again over...

Re: updating firmware via otmonitor

Sorry still under moderation, can't edit the above. But yes I do see drop outs, Home Assistant is seems really sketchy with the data it's pulling, often "unknown" and will show data sometimes, I wondered if my issues weren't related to "Fix spontaneous reset in monitor mode" fixe...

Re: updating firmware via otmonitor

This should work without the need for any manual action. If it doesn't, then I suspect there is a communication problem. Maybe the OTGW is too far from your WiFi access point? Are you able to communicate with it normally, without any delays or missing data? Hmm that shouldn't be the case but it is ...

updating firmware via otmonitor

I've recently got a nodoshop opentherm gateway running with nodemcu wifi. I'm trying to update the firmware to 4.2.8.2 (from 4.2.7) using otmonitor (4.4.1) but it repeatedly fails, I get a variety of errors. On hitting "Program" sometimes it sits there for a while saying "Switching to...

Re: Multiple OpenTherm devices on one boiler?

My mind has been blown, it seems a really well-thought out bit of kit.

Ordered some bits from nodo, cheers!

Re: Multiple OpenTherm devices on one boiler?

That's incredible :shock: So looking at it now, essentially the OTGW is performing a sort of "man in the middle" So the X1 interface essentially presents as an OT compatible device, I just connect my existing modulating EvoHome OT Bridge to that. The OTGW can then just pick up all OT relat...

Multiple OpenTherm devices on one boiler?

So I'm sure this is going to be a silly question. Is it possible to connect multiple OpenTherm devices to a single boiler? I've recently bought an Evohome setup with a modulating OpenTherm Bridge, essentially this : https://theevohomeshop.co.uk/honeywell-home-opentherm-products/72-honeywell-r8810a10...
