Möhlenhoff Alpha 2 - climate controller

Keep in mind to use a 2 GB micro SD card for doing the upgrade if you have old units. It was not working for me with a 64GB micro SD card. My units are around 6 years old.

Hi @maartenwitteman
Attached a wetransfer link which is available 3 days.
This firmware is for the ethernet model of the control units!!! Use at your own risk.
I received the files from the service department some time ago now. Maybe in the meanwhile there are other firmware updates available.

Best is to get in touch with them:

I’ve almost finished implementing RF protocol decoding and was able to emulate my home thermostat using a CC1101 + ESP32. That means I can enable and disable heating without the original thermostat.

Would anyone be interested in this project? If there’s interest, I can upload the code to GitHub.

The idea is to build a device that could replace existing RF thermostats and allow control through Home Assistant. I’m not sure how many people would find this useful, so I wanted to check before packaging everything up.
