OpenTherm Thermostat 2

We use Standard International Shipping method, usually it takes about 12-15 days and costs €5.5

Shipping from the EU, no additional fees for the EU countries. If you are outside the EU taxes of your country will apply.

Stock firmware is not open source, but you can write your own firmware adding new cool features that fits your needs the best. DIYLESS Thermostat is based on Espressif's ESP32 Soc, which enables BLE/WiFi connectivity and allows writing a firmware using Arduino IDE, VS Code or IDF (Eclipse) IDE.
Also you can use ready-made firmwares like ESPHome, Tasmota etc.

If the stock firmware fits almost all your needs and only a few feature(s) are missing - we can consider adding them to the next version, please report a request or an issue report into our thermostat repo. Subsequent updates are free, and if you experiment on your thermostat with a custom firmware and later decide to rollback to the original one - we have a simple browser-based tool which allows you reverting back to the stock easily.
Web-Flasher (leave activation code request input empty when flashing your device)
To use web-flasher - connect your thermostat with a usb-cable to your PC, selct your thermostat model and press connect button. After selection appropriate port - you will be able to install the firmware.

We use a PI algorithm which calculates the needed boiler power level based on a difference between current and target room temperature and also takes into account the speed at which this temperature rises/drops. It is aimed for the best comfort, meaning less temperature fluctuations.
That means the boiler will spend more in active state however at a lower power level instead of cycling between max power and off.

No, with a current control algorithm implementation you would not need a knowledge on outside temperature, because thermostat senses an internal temperature and once it drops - boiler will rise radiators temp to compensate.
In practice (from a real installation) - room temperature accuracy is held within a ±0.15°C range.

Yes, it does. However to use it properly - you will need to distance it from a board using a wires, since ESP32 self-heats a lot and sensor is heated by the board.

Out of the box it is controllable within your home network. If you need world-wide controlling options - one of the possible ways to achieve this is a Home Assistant with its companion app.

A first option is using a 5V wall brick adapter and a Type-C cable.
Also you can checkout if your thermostat revision has a dedicated 5V pads near a USB connector (named H1). If so - provide a DC power of 4-5.5V, square pad is positive terminal.

Another option would be using an internal UART pads. Provide a voltage in range 3-3.3V here.

Exceeding the values above may permanently damage your device.

Our thermostat supports connecting to a 2.4 GHz b/g Wi-Fi networks, both open and protected ones. It connects successfully in ~99% cases, however on some routers an enforced security options or advanced wireless modes might block our thermostat from accessing your home network. You can try changing them in the following manner:

• Change security from WPA3 (also might display as WPA3+WPA2 or WPA3/WPA2) to WPA2 (WPA+WPA2 or WPA/WPA2) (1 case reported so far)
• Change the 2.4 GHz wireless mode from 802.11b/g/n/ax to 802.11b/g/n or 802.11b/g (1 case reported so far)
• You might try also fixing your Wi-Fi channel number

Since different router models provide a different user interface - please refer to your router manual on how to access those settings and manage them.
