Message with the high bit (7) low (0x00 - 0x7F) are 'set' messages, these are send from the thermostat to the boiler for setting parameters. Messages with the high bit (7) high (0x80-0xFF) are 'get' messages. The thermostat sends these messages to request parameters from the boiler.

Set messages

Set messages are always 4 bytes long. The first byte is the telegram type (0x00-0x7f) the second byte is the value to be set, the remaining byte is only used in specific messages. The third byte is the checksum: TT VV xx CC

Get messages

Get messages are 5 bytes long. The first 4 bytes are send by the thermostat followed by a single response byte from the boiler. The first byte is the telegram type (0x80 - 0xFF) followed by 2 unused bytes. The third byte is the checksum, followed by the boilers response: TT xx xx CC RR

Telegram Type : 0x01 (Set)

Set maximum water temperature used for heating in Celsius. When the burner is still running (0x07) and the maximum temperature is reached, the burner is switched off but the pump will keep running. The display will show '0y' (max. temperature reached).

(Via telegram 0x81 the boiler reports the maximum water temperature setting on the boiler.)

Telegram Type : 0x07 (Set)

Start the burner and set burner power. Any value above 0x50 (0x4D ?) will start the burner. The higher the value the higher the burner power. When set to 0xFF the burner will be set to max power. (Use with caution !)

Example:

07 CF D0 6C

I do not have an external temperate sensor. But I have tested with several resistors and got some feedback. It looks like the outdoor sensor is a standard 'NTC 10k 3950'
