otgwmcu firmware update

Post by george »

Hello Schelte,

The webserver of otmonitor has a web page for iphones (http://otmonhost:8080/iphone.html) but it only gives users control over room setpoint and info about room temp and outside temp and heating/dhw status.
I think it's a great feature, but I was wondering if your otgwmcu firmware can do the same, and if maybe it can be updated to include dhw setpoint control and a few other useful stuff (maybe a boiler remote reset button)?
This would eliminate the need for using a PC or a server running openhab, home assistant etc, giving us direct access via mobile phone to all the cool and useful features your opentherm gateway has to offer.

Thanks!

George

I was playing with the developer tools in chrome and changed some lines in the code to give you an example:

This is a very old feature, as you can probably tell by the picture on the site showing an iPhone 4. The problem with adding more information is that not all boilers provide this information or allow the settings to be adjusted over opentherm. That could be confusing for the user.

Another problem is that I'm terrible at web design. But I have put your idea on the feature request list.

You know you don't have to use the developer tools to modify a web page in otmonitor? You can just copy the file (http://otmonhost:8080/iphone.html.tmpl) to a html directory next to the otmonitor binary. A file in that location will override the built-in version.

Yes, I know it's an old feature and I know that not all boilers/thermostats support all the features (mine doesn't support TT/TC commands for remote override room setpoint but supports SW dhw setpoint chage), but I thought it would be nice to have just in cascase.

I already used your iphone html template in order to make a new version (the ideea was to connect directly to the wemos using your otgwmcu firmware), but I stopped working on it, because I realised that most people use rvdbreemen wemos firmware (myself included) so I made OTGW Dashboard instead.

Thanks for taking the time to reply!

Regards,

George

PS: not much activity on the forum, I guess that will change soon :)
