Ok I will retry and let you know.
Thx
I also have a working setup with a Edilkamin Slide2 7 now. Also thanks to Ger for his manual. I have to say that the ESP mini is very sensible for the USB cable. So if the connection won’t work try other cables. It seems that some cables are only ment to be powercables. The 3e works in my situation.
Works great. Nice work Ben.
I only missing usage statistics, but that is not a big problem.
Perhaps there is a table of all possibe status messages? I’m mean the possible errorcodes. I’m using these to send a message to my phone if something went wrong.
Sorry for NGHAYE and all his good work. This setup is a little bit more complicated, but the cloud is not used anymore, and if you don’t change the firmware in the stove it wil work forever.
Tried to delete the integration (GitHub - algra4/ha-edilkamin: Edilkamin non official integration) and set up everything again, same result with my Edilkamin Pellkamin 12 EVO.
I’m able to check power status, but when I try to set a manual power (as I did 'till november), HA returns me:
“Impossibile eseguire l’azione: climate/set_preset_mode unknown error”
Same results if I try to toggle fans.
Cheers,

Did you change the api version number in the edilkamin integration manifest file ?
Normally, it works without removing it. Just restart ha when you have.
Edilkamin still haven’t solve all the problem. Also with the mind a lot of things are not possible.
If you want to use this integration, you only can switch on and off. My workaround was set the stove manualy on P2 with the fans on automatic. And only switch the stove on and off with HA.
I’m using the BT version at the moment. The ESP with the firmware is pretty stable. Only the WiFi/BT box on the stove has it’s problems. I had a lockup yesterday evening. Had to switch off the stove on the box and restart it.
First of all:
There’s a new version of The Mind. This one seems to work better, but it’s of no use to home assistant users.
Furthermore:
I’ve been using Edilkam_BT for over a week now. Initially, I mainly had problems with the box on the stove. It crashed regularly.
The solution is actually very simple. Don’t use a scene to control the stove, but an automation, and change one parameter at a time, with a two-second wait time between them. Since I’ve been using this method, I haven’t had a single crash.
I only see advantages to this solution. You just have to find the right ESP32 card. It only works with one type.
Besides the forum, I also have contact with Ger because we speak the same language. We’ve been very helpful in getting the solution up and running. I know it’s working well for him now too.
Hi everyone,
I’m evaluating/implementing the Edilkamin Bluetooth integration in Home Assistant using an ESP32 as a BLE bridge, and I’d like to clarify a few practical points (especially regarding the “The Mind” remote).
1) Using “The Mind” remote + ESP32 (single BLE connection)
As far as I understand, the stove allows only one active Bluetooth connection at a time, so the remote and the ESP32 cannot stay connected simultaneously.
- However: can I pair both devices (remote and ESP32) and then simply keep the remote powered off while the ESP32 is connected?
- If something goes wrong (ESP32 offline / HA down / bridge stuck), can I just disable the ESP32 and turn the remote back on, regaining control without re-pairing?
- In other words: does the stove remember both pairings and it’s only a matter of which device currently “grabs” the BLE connection?
2) Room temperature sensor: what does the stove use with the integration?
Normally the stove uses the room temperature measured by the remote (remote acts as the room sensor). With the ESP32 integration:
- does the stove still use the remote’s room temperature (even if the remote is off / not connected)?
- or does the integration write/inject a room temperature value (e.g., from an HA sensor) or the stove falls back to an internal/alternative sensor?
- if the remote is not connected, what happens to temperature control?
3) Power/fan modulation: what’s the real logic?
With the remote, it looks like the stove modulates (power and fan speed) based on room temperature, reducing to minimum when approaching/exceeding the setpoint.
- Is it correct that modulation is mainly driven by room temperature?
- Or is modulation mostly based on internal parameters (firebox/flue temperature, internal logic) and room temperature only affects start/stop or setpoint decisions?
- When using the ESP32 (remote not connected), does modulation behave exactly the same or does it change?
4) Stand-by
- Can stand-by mode (auto stop at setpoint and auto restart) be enabled/kept while using the ESP32 integration?
- Any known limitations or settings to be aware of?
If anyone is already running this setup (ESP32 + HA) or knows how the stove behaves with the remote turned off, I’d really appreciate real-world feedback. Thanks!
Concerning the standby mode, on my Celia Airtight+, my stove maintainer insisted on not powering off/on the stove more than 7 times a day.
You don’t need to turn off the remote control. I initially thought so too, because the heater’s Wi-Fi module would occasionally freeze. If you turn off the remote control, you indeed don’t see any temperature.
For all your other questions: you’re probably overthinking things. My heater is simply set to manual. Every time I start the heater, I send the commands to the heater at two-second intervals. This waiting period is to prevent it from freezing. So, every time, I set the timer to off, fan to auto, relax mode on or off, heater to manual, and standby mode off.
You then have to create a schedule in HA yourself to regulate the heater’s power based on the indoor temperature.
Hi Paul,
If this is a real problem, why did the manufacturer include a standby mode?
I agree with you and your installer that every start puts a strain on your glow plug, but I’ve started it many times a day for as long as I’ve had the stove. That’s well over 7 times a day.
I think many pallet stove owners have stoves that are too powerful. So even if you just leave it on P1 in relax mode, it quickly gets too hot.
I’ll try to answer a few questions:
- The remote control and the ESP can both be paired with the stove, but the stove can only establish one connection at a time.
- There is no need to pair again unless a new ESP is used.
- When the remote control is active, the ESP cannot establish a connection to the oven and vice versa. However, the ESP regularly establishes and disconnects the connection.
- I suspect that the stove itself also has a room temperature sensor, because the room temperature is still measured even when the remote control has no batteries. But I’m not entirely sure.
- Regarding control/regulation: The ESP does not control or regulate anything. Only the power levels and the main fan can be controlled. So if you need to regulate the temperature based on the room temperature, for example, you can easily do that with Home Assistant. But I don’t see any need for that myself. I usually just start the stove and it maintains/gets its last power and fan level (usually 1 and 20%).
- Regarding standby: To be honest, I’ve never used it, I just implemented the command. So I can’t say anything about how it behaves.
- Regarding auto and chrono mode: Here, too, I just implemented the commands. The stove does the rest itself.
Hi Ben,
I want to thank you for the great “tool” you made. It works very good here.
In the beginning I had some troubles, but that’s not your application, but the bit doggy WiFi/BT module on the stove. The solution, I mentioned it earlier, don’t send commands to fast after each other.
There is only one thing I see comming back. That’s the pellet sensor on my Slide2 7. It’s not always coming true. I hear the beep, but no change in HA. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. But I can live with that. 
For the rest I want to wish you and all the others a happy Christmas and a great 2026.
I’m just telling what my maintenance guy said. Actually I never used the standby mode. I jut leave my stove on P1 when it reached the temperature and it is perfectly right for me.
Thank you for your response and your time to develop this project.
As soon as I receive the esp32 form I will do some tests.
I checked again yesterday: I get the message. But: the ESP establishes a Bluetooth connection to the oven every minute. So it may be that the sensor is only triggered in Home Assistant after a minute.
Hi Ben,
Also after a minute I didn’t receive the message. Next time I will inspect if the remote controle gives the message. If not, then there is something else wrong. I keep you posted.
I mentioned it earlier. For me it’s no problem at all. I’m very happy to control the stove without the cloud services from EdilKamin.

My Edilkamin stove has been working for a couple of days now with the Edilkamin App. I buy an esp32 following this repo: GitHub - netmb/Edilkamin_BT. I can confirm that works fine with the Edilkamin Lena in Home Assistant. I only have a trouble: The minimum temperature I can set is 20 degrees. I would like to be able to set a lower temperature when I go on a trip, because when I get back I usually turn on the stove and I don’t like to use too much power when I’m not near home.
Great job Edilkamin_BT. I have a second option that doesn’t depend on the edilkamin cloud.
