MyVitotronicLogger

Vissmann boiler logger with DIY OptoLink interface.

AST, 12.03.2019

Motivation

For a Vissmann boiler with a control interface Vitotronic 200 KW1 (V200KW1):

  • How much energy is consumed?
  • How to monitor the boiler's temperatures?
  • What is the boiler doing over time?
  • How to interface with the boiler?

Sensor

Debugging

  1. Attach to opto coupler
  2. Attach RS232 USB cable to D4 to listen for Serial1 messages. Serial1/UART1 TX pin is D4.

Do not connect to RX/TX because those are reserved for opto-coupler communication!

For debugging the Serial1 Arduino software UART is being used.

Serial1.begin(115200);

All logging and status messages are being print using Serial1.print.
Serial1 uses UART1 which is a transmit-only UART.

Development

vitowifitests

Testing project to test the OptoLink interface.

  1. Attach to opto coupler
  2. Attach RS232 USB cable to D4 to listen for Serial1 messages. Serial1/UART1 TX pin is D4.
