EMS-ESP is an open-source firmware for the Espressif ESP8266 and ESP32 microcontroller that communicates with EMS (Energy Management System) based equipment from manufacturers like Bosch, Buderus, Nefit, Junkers, Worcester and Sieger.
This is the firmware for the ESP8266.
If you like EMS-ESP, please give it a star, or fork it and contribute!
Note, EMS-ESP requires a small hardware circuit that can convert the EMS bus data to be read by the microcontroller. These can be ordered at https://bbqkees-electronics.nl.
- Compatible with both ESP8266 and ESP32
- A multi-user secure web interface to change settings and monitor the data
- A console, accessible via Serial and Telnet for more monitoring
- Native support for Home Assistant via MQTT Discovery
- Can run standalone as an independent WiFi Access Point or join an existing WiFi network
- Easy first-time configuration via a web Captive Portal
- Support for more than 70 EMS devices (boilers, thermostats, solar modules, mixer modules, heat pumps, gateways)
