ESPHome truma_inetbox component

ESPHome component to remote control Truma CP Plus Heater by simulating a Truma iNet box.

See 1 and 2 for great documentation about how to connect an CP Plus to an ESP32 or RP2040.

Acknowledgements

This project is based on the work of the WomoLIN project and mc0110 inetbox.py, especially the initial protocol decoding and the inet box log files.

Example configuation

This example is just for connecting ESPHome to the CP Plus. See truma.yaml for an example config with all possible things configured.

ESPHome components

This project contains the following ESPHome components:

• truma_inetbox has the following settings:
  • cs_pin (optional) if you connect the pin of your lin driver chip.
  • fault_pin (optional) if you connect the pin of your lin driver chip.
  • on_heater_message (optional) ESPHome Trigger when a message from CP Plus is recieved.

Requires ESP Home 2023.4 or higher.
