Re: DHW woes... and... Why does the OTGW Lie to the thermostat re: message id 6

Thanks again for your detailed information. The boiler is a combi boiler so whilst it does not have a hot water tank - it has a hot water thermal store which is heated to about 75degC - this water is then dumped into a plate heat exchanger to rapidly and instantly heat water on demand as soon as flo...

Re: Tado Controller, Opentherm Gateway, Navien Oil Combi Boiler.

Thankyou again for your informative response... Piecing together everything I've observed using the OTGW and the oscilloscope and the boiler behaviour with everything thats been discussed here. I'm pretty sure the issue with my setup is (as per one of your suggestions) the Tado bitrate being too fas...

Re: Tado Controller, Opentherm Gateway, Navien Oil Combi Boiler.

At least you have a solution: Use the OTGW in gateway mode to clean up the signals. I've been considering this. (i may even add a wifi module to so i can connect it to home assistant and log some of that data). My only reservation is that if anything happens to the OTGW wont it revert to monitor mo...

Re: Tado Controller, Opentherm Gateway, Navien Oil Combi Boiler.

Thankyou hvxl for that detailed and informative response. Id not considered the timings but I can see on my scope screenshot it is a fair bit shorter than the 1ms it should be on that tado - not sure if its outside of spec but its not bang on. (Ill measure it over the weekend) Id not considered the ...

Re: Tado Controller, Opentherm Gateway, Navien Oil Combi Boiler.

Just done some more testing with the scope connected at the boiler side and switching between OTGW "gateway" mode and OTGW "monitor" mode There's zero difference in the high/low voltages seen at the boiler so I'm moving towards ruling out the slight voltage variances between Tado...
