Can't change DHW setpoint

Hi,
I have De Dietrich Baxi boiler without room termostat, I want to use it only with OTGW.

I can receive information from boiler like CH and DHW setpoint, water pressure, etc. Problem that I can't change DHW setpoint, when I use SW nothing changes. Below you can find logs from OTMonitor:

Only Control setpoint have Write is it normal? Shouldn't there be Write-Data after my SW? I appreciate every tip because I've been fighting with this for long time.

I may not have considered this scenario when I made that piece of code. It's been a few years, so I really don't remember. And it may be a while before I will find the time to dive into the code again.

Just to be sure, your boiler does report the value for MsgId 6 as 0x0303? The OTGW will only request this data once (if at all in stand-alone mode). If the low byte is 0x00, then the boiler does not support modifying these settings via Opentherm.

Not all boilers that claim to be Opentherm fully support Opentherm. I seem to remember some incompatibilities with Baxi boilers as regards to DHW setpoint.

This should be fixed in OTGW firmware version 5.0.
