pimatic-otgw

Pimatic plugin for the Opentherm gateway (http://otgw.tclcode.com/)

This plugin will connect to the OTMonitor Relay port.

In theory this plugin can also connect to the ethernet version of the gatway (UNTESTED!)

Configuration of OT Monitor

Download the Opentherm Monitor from: http://otgw.tclcode.com/download.html#utilities

For Raspberry take Linux-armhf as system.

Setup OT monitor to start with the relay server enabled AND relay OT messages to on. This can be done with the following command:

./otmonitor-ahf --daemon -f /opt/otmonitor/otmonitor.conf"

contents of /opt/otmonitor/otmonitor.conf: (you can choose your own loaction ofcourse)

web {
  enable true
  port 8080
  nopass true
}
connection {
  device /dev/ttyUSB1
  type serial
  enable true
}
server {
  enable true
  port 7686
  relay true
}

To autostart ot-monitor on boot on the raspberry pi you can use this file: https://gist.github.com/Fjuxx/8effac5e0d8338e07265#file-otmonitor-ahf

It assumes ot-monitor is placed in /opt/otmonitor/

place that file in /etc/init.d/

Then execute:

sudo update-rc.d otmonitor-ahf defaults
