There’s an integration to manage 4heat module… Is near the beginning of this thread.
Ok. Let’s summarize my current situation.
The ESPHome integration created by @leoshusar works fine with my stove, BUT the commands are not what my stove understands. Curiously, the ones that don’t work are the ones that change things in the stove settings (energy management, off, on and everything useful to manage the climate in my house). So, I’m getting a 4HEAT module to monitor those useful commands and use them in the ESPHome module… and share them with everyone here hoping they’ll be useful…

I’m glad that it works.
Looks as you have an old board, in my Spanish manual I say that in the old boards the turn ON/OFF and unlock commands are AT Hayes commands, and also say how they work
The only one thing that I don’t know is set power , and set room works with another command( not AT Hayes).
So if you can send the AT Hayes commands, I think the only thing you couldn’t do is change the power.
In other words I think you have troubles with legacy commands
Tray to send the 2 commands AT with a delay 1000ms y see what happens
EDIT
With the 4heat module and the SY100 board I can only turn on, turn off and change the room set temperature
But with the usb rs232 converter, I can send other commands as you see in the picture sent.
EDIT 2
I don’t clearly understand what is the problem .
Can you manually set Room temperature point or not?
In my test manual I say that on old boards Room temperature set point is not A20493000000000000 but A21700000000000000.
If you can manually see the temperature of the room, but it can not work as a thermostat, then I think you have to enter tpar, by the way, password to enter tpar can be 1357.
In other words I think that if sombody changes leoshusar’s excellent program, and turn ON/OFF and unlock is done by sending the first AT command with a delay of 1000ms and then the second AT command (ON,OFF or unlock) this program would work with old and new boards except setting room temperature that command (Not AT) should also be changed
EDIT3
What can you do with the official 4heat app?
Turn on/off etc

I think respond values are of your picture C03… and they should match Auger on the display
Hi Maxgu.
I installed the 4HEAT module and… is terribly bad done… and the application has a lack of User Experience and User Interface “lo más grande” but well, it is what it is. I can manage the power stove with it, so I will build the @leoshusar logger to watch the RS232 traffic and get what exactly is going on with those commands.
I was able to instantiate one “complex” component and manage the target boiler temperature from the ESPHome succesfully, so I hope to be able to manage the heating power of the stove too.
The main goal is to manage the climate of the average temperature of the whole house by the heating power managing and reduce the pellet consumption drastically. The auto mode based on water temperature is horrible and uses 15 kg of pellets daily. If I set the power to “3” then it uses about 10 kilos but is too hot in the house abouve 22 degrees centigrades and I want to set a value of 21 but it isent able with the default temperature control. That’s something I can do by programing some Home Assistant’s scripts.
Thank you so much for your effort!!!
Hi maxgu.
At last have got the ESPHome module connected and working. I’ve been talking with @leoshusar through the issue github system of his project and after some clues from him, I got the right commands to fill my yaml configuration file and make all work. Next step is to create a protoboard with all components soldered into it and an appropiate cage to fit all in. I’m planning too adding a relay to use the thermostatic port to stop the stove and connect all to alexa to control climate with the voice… Home assistant is fantastic and all its ecosystem is incredible powerfull to connect all.
I attach an image of actual web server showing the state of stove and the yaml file where all commands are set into components.

After soldering all components into breadboard, I will upload a photo to show you how it looks.
Thank you very much for all your help
From the conversation on github, I don’t know if you have a problem with the temperature of the water pump, if you want to change the temperature that water pump starts I think you should have to enter tpar and enter the password, that may be 1357
To see how to enter the tpar
MB100 board page and I think the parameter to change is th19
Regarding the turn on and turn off commands, Does J commands work?
.
Edit
if you have puffer there is another water pumb Th59, and as you can see this manual is similar to NG01 manual, that you can find.
EDIT2
As I said before, my official Tiemme 4heat app on my old Tiemme board does not allow me to change the power, so the new command does not work
Edit3
I don’t have a hydro, but I think that by programming if the stove has a room temperature probe, the switch to modulation , you can choose that if it reaches the room temperature it goes to modulation and if the water temperature reaches the temperature as well. , and if the stove does not have a probe you can put a 10K NTC probe.
From your photo it seems that you have free pin 17 pin 18, if you put a probe and configure P74=4 you already have a room temperature probe, and if A01=1 when it reaches the room temperature it goes to modulation.
Since I don’t know anything about hydro, maybe another A1 should be selected.
From Mb100 board manual
I have chosen pins 17 16 IN2 because it says that a probe goes to those pins and they are free, if it does not work we would have to use the IN5 input Pin 24 Pin 25 and P70=15, and even I should try if it posible put P74=15
EDIT4
See if the black cable Pin 24 Pin 25 goes to the external socket to connect the thermostat, see if P70=4, if that happens I think that if you change P70=15, you have converted that thermostat input to a probe input, and it should appear on the menu TA
So if you want to have also a thermostat you can use pin 17 and 16
New Menus
EDIT 5
Briefly forget everything I said about pin 17 and 18 because I think the official wiring diagram of the MB100 board is wrong. if the black cable Pin 24 Pin 25 goes to the external socket to connect the thermostat, see if P70=4, if that happens I think that if you change P70=15, you have converted that thermostat input to a probe input, and it should appear on the menu TA, I would put a temperature probe and I would not change anything and maybe you can set that temperature through home assistant, commands A20493000000000000 or for old boards A21700000000000000 and see it matches to tA display
EDIT6
About probe if you search for example on Aliexpress temperature probe ntc 10k, you will find many with different look

From this link you can download the technical manual for the Tiemme MB100 hydro board

Hi all,
First of all Thank you guys all the effort and the amazing work, what you did. I appreciate it.
As I mentioned before I have a Clima600 board to manage the heating and the domestic water circle. With the above mentioned solution I finally managed to communicate with the board and get some data and functionality but as because it is a different board it has relative different sensor options. My question is that, how can I scan all of the sensors to get all of the possible ones? I have a wemos d1 mini board with a limited capacity and only can handle maximum 30 sensor in one time but I’d like to write something which can scan all of the datapoints. Maybe could you guys help me in it? Maybe can somehow create a loop in esphome which can scan the possible sensors?
Thanks in advance.
Hi, I use your fork of 4Heat, but I saw that with ESPHome you managed to do better =) could you provide a diagram to create the hardware part? Thank you.
p.s. my board is a tiemme SY400
carloda
The hardware is:
ESP module, it can be an ESP 8266 or ESP32
RS232 UART converter module,
Four-wire RJ11 6P4C cable.
The esp module pinout Rx,Tx Gnd and Vcc according to the esp module model, the converter Rs232 Uart pinout according to the converter rs232 Uart module model.
The diagram was already told to jorgezazo before but here you have a picture,Rj11 cable the red wire is Tx and the green wire is Rx, the plug/socket pinout is the the Tiemme controller board plug
Edit:
Hardware
You also need a power supply for supply esp module, as you use with 4Heat module

Hi, I apologize if the question is stupid but I can’t find a solution. How can I view more sensors from the 4heat integration in addition to the ones that it loads automatically?
You have understood it perfectly.
It is an excellent diagram for those who choose as hardware a wemos D1 mini module, that rs232-uart converter and a Rj11 socket.
As the cable between the Rj11 socket on the Tiemme board and the Rj11 socket on the new device has only four wires, so only pins 2,3,4,5 are connected between them, you don’t need connect pin 1 to ground, but of course you can do it.
Also as the ttl-rs232 converter can be powered at 3V-5V, you can choose the 3.3V pin instead of the 5v.
.From this link you can see the specifications of the module, see the differences between the two rs232 TTL converter modules and even buy them
https://es.aliexpress.com/item/32583463529.html
I would not use the mini converter rs232 ttl (that it hasn`t holes and you can’t put pins in it) because Jorgezazo has had serious problems with it, see post 239

Hi. That’s something that happens to me too. Some command from your yaml code is blocking stove’s communication. Clean all and start adding code command to command until you can localize the one that cause the problem. In my case the stove’s RS232 module got blocked until I use the original 4HEAT module to restart communications.
Hi all… After many, many days searching information about MAX2323 mdule overhating problem, I reach to the conclussion that some of these modules are unstable. Connecting them to a 5V power suply, they overheat A LOT and stop working. I thought it was due to a faulty Wemos device, but after tenths of tries, I reach the conclussion that the module is the faulty thing. Some says that connecting them to a 3.3V is the solution, but some times it works, some don’t… too low voltage and not very good components.
Any of you have the same problem?
Here some articles about the overheating problem:
In amazon, I found the exact components and many clients complains of the same behaviour. Look for the reviews here:
Here there’s a possible solution re-soldering some capacitors:
Hi Maxgu.
I’m looking for that MAX3232 modules that are shown in your pictures. All I bought are faulty if are connected to 5V suply. They suffer an extremely high overheat. If I connect to 3.3V they work sometimes only due to a low voltage I guess. Could you tell me where get them? All I can find is the same crap I bought.
One more thing. I wrote a new post before this one with some info about the MAX3232 overheatting problem. Please, take a look and tell me what do you think abou it.
Thank you in advance.
Edit:
After a long waiting time I could get a different model of a MAX3232 module. This was critical, the quality of cheaps modules are incredibly faulty. After that, the Wimos D1 worked like a charm and no more problems haver ocurred in the last week.
This is the link:
Hi guys, do you think there is a command to force the switch on when it is in Standby, I wanted to have the boiler turn on when the thermostat is turned on for the first time each day, so as not to drop the puffer temperature too much… Thanks.
Hello,
Newbie here, but I’m reading it with a lot of interest.
I have a really nice stove and that would be the Dielle Grecale. Works like a champ, but I would love it to be able to turn it on while I’m still in bed.
I’m aware of the 4heat and Dielle modules (they are basically the same?).
But I was hoping there was a contact on the stove’s module that I could use to only turn it on. I don’t need to change temps or anything else.
Can homebody tell me if that exists? There’s a lot of unused connections and I was hoping there would be one that I could use to turn it on.
Or are there other options for it?
Thank you very much in advance!!
Joep
Hi,
normally you can connect something like a shelly relay to the contact avaliable for the external thermostat, but I think this is off-topic here
