Opentherm Gateway and HomeAssistant

[davey400]

Hi all,
I am new to the Opentherm Gateway; I just installed it.

My OTGW uses a wifi module to connect it to my network; the web interface is fully accessible.
I am able to connect to the OTGW using Opentherm monitor.

However: I do not have any idea how to add the OTGW to Home Assistant.
The official integration documentation is not very clear on this: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrati ... ntherm_gw/
It points me to https://pythonhosted.org/pyserial/url_handlers.html which does not seem to make much sense, since I can access the OTGW directly through the network.

Any help here would be appreciated.

Best Regards,
Dave

Without any knowledge of Home Assistant and very little knowledge of python, the provided links suggest to me that you should use socket://192.168.1.13:6638 as the path, assuming you use 192.168.1.13 and 6638 as the remote host and remote port settings when connecting using OTmonitor.
Note: This way you can only connect either Home Assistant or OTmonitor to the OTGW, but not both at the same time.

Great, thanks!

I seem to have another issue; the OTGW seems to cause reboots off the ESPEasy/NodeMCU every few seconds.
Working on that right now.
