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 project is the specifically for the ESP32. Compared with the previous ESP8266 (version 2) release it has the following enhancements:

  • Ethernet Support
  • Pre-configured circuit board layouts
  • Supports writing EMS values directly from within Web UI
  • Mock API server for faster offline development and testing
  • Improved API and MQTT commands
  • Improvements to Dallas temperature sensors
  • Embedded log tracing in the Web UI

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 or contact the contributors that can provide the schematic and designs.


Features

  • A multi-user secure web interface to change settings and monitor incoming data
  • A console, accessible via Serial and Telnet for more advanced monitoring
  • Native support for Home Assistant and Domoticz 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 100 EMS devices (boilers, thermostats, solar modules, mixer modules, heat pumps, gateways)
