what's new

This is a major update with some new features and some redesign under the hood.
The Framework is updated to the new Arduino v3 based on ESP-IDF v5.1+
Several modifications have been made to achieve better performance and stability.

Performance and stability improvements

Various improvements have been made to increase performance and stability. In particular, the communication between ESP and the web server has been redesigned and improved. The protocol was changed from SSE (Server-Sent-Events) to Websockets.
The maximum number of client connections is monitored and limited to the number of 2 active connections.

Ethernet Support W5500

There is a new support for W5500 Ethernet Modules. This brings the possibility to use ethernet connection in parallel to WiFi connection.
This could be useful in situations where the WiFi connection is not available or stable.

For mor details, please have a look at the documentation

There is also an expansion module in the pipeline that fits perfectly on the KM271 WiFi board.

Solar Support FM244

Support for optional Buderus Solar Module FM244 added. You can activate this in the same way as the heating circuits and hot-water.
Values are send by mqtt and are also available in the webUI.

System Logger

The logging function has been extended. The mode can now also be switched to ‘System log’. In this case, the serial monitor is redirected to the log and you can see the messages that are normally only visible when you are connected via cable.

new HC1/HC2 Control Elements

There are new HC1/HC2 control elements on the web UI

  • HC1 Day Temperature / HC2 Day Temperature
  • HC1 Night Temperature / HC2 Night Temperature
  • HC1 Holiday Temperature / HC2 Holiday Temperature
  • HC1 Switch-On Temperature / HC2 Switch-On Temperature

additional Status Information in the web UI

There are some additional information in the status Tab of the web UI

  • Status information about Ethernet connection
  • Status information about KM271 connection
  • Status information about MQTT connection

BREAKING CHANGES!!!

Important

In the past, there was a separate setting for the static IP. Now we have two possible interfaces and therefore the static IP setting is also duplicated and is located together with the WiFi and Ethernet settings. If you previously used static IP, you will need to adjust your settings.

I would recommend deactivating the static IP before the update!
