OpenTherm Thermostat is based on OpenTherm Adapter, OpenTherm Library and ESP8266 controller (WeMos D1 Mini).
So you can control your boiler remotely over WiFi via your smartphone.
Using OpenTherm protocol you will be able to:
- get boiler status
- set water temperature
- switch on/off central heating
- switch on/off hot water
- get gas modulation level
- ...and many other commands supported by OpenTherm protocol

OpenTherm Adapter is minimized version of Arduino Controller and its compatible with 5V and 3.3V controllers like Arduino, ESP8266 or Raspberry Pi. OpenTherm Adapter allows you to control your boiler using your favorite controller via OpenTherm protocol which is implemented in OpenTherm Library. It is good for making your custom thermostat or for boiler remote control. Also OpenTherm thermostat can increase boiler efficiency comparing to usual on/off thermostat.

OpenTherm Library is based on OpenTherm protocol specification v2.2 and works with all OpenTherm compatible boilers. Library can be easily installed into Arduino IDE and compiled for Arduino, ESP8266 and other similar controllers. OpenTherm protocol requires simple low voltage twowire connection to boiler, but voltage levels (7..15V) still much higher than Arduino/ESP8266 levels, which requires OpenTherm Adapter.
