I'm trying to control my boiler with an OTGW, but I can't get it to work. My boiler is a Remeha Quinta 35c and my thermostat is a Remeha Celcia.
The OTGW I'm using is the version from nodoshop, with the nodemcu.

When I have both the boiler and the thermostat connected to the OTGW everything seems to work fine. I get temperatures and status in OTMonitor.
If I understood this website http://otgw.tclcode.com/standalone.html correctly, then it should be possible to start the boiler by issuing a CS=50 command with only the boiler connected to the OTGW. I cannot get that to work.
With only the boiler connected to OTGW and a CS=0 the status windows shows the following:

Then when I give the CS=50 command, the "CH enabled" and the "CH mode" ticks are set. But the flame status does not get set:

In messages window of OTMonitor the following messages show up:

20:08:30.280917  B40191800  Read-Ack    Boiler water temperature: 24.00

Right after giving the CS=50 command the following lines appear:

Code: Select all

20:08:14.607936  R90013200  Write-Data  Control setpoint: 50.00
20:08:14.719942  B50013200  Write-Ack   Control setpoint: 50.00

If I understood correctly, the first message is the message from OTGW to the boiler and second is reply from the boiler. This would make sense to me.
But then a couple of lines down, the following lines appear:

Code: Select all

20:08:16.680346  R80010000  Read-Data   Control setpoint: 0.00
20:08:16.792143  BD0010000  Write-Ack   Control setpoint: 0.00

Is this the OTGW saying the control setpoint should be 0.00 again? Later on it is 50.00 again. and so on.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

It is not legal to request a Read-Data on MsgID 1. Only Write-Data has been defined in the Opentherm specs. It seems to me like you must have configured the OTGW to do this yourself by using one or more AA=1 commands. Try running DA=1 commands until you get the response DA: NF. If you did get at least one DA: 1 response before that, you had MsgID 1 configured as an alternative message.

The only thing that is unclear is why this didn't cause problems when you have a thermostat connected.

It is not neccesary to disconnect the thermostat when you want to control it yourself. Try it with thermostat connected.

Check Quinta parameter 9: should be 0
parameter A should be 31 or 32
