ESPhome component for Micronova board based pellet stoves.

The Micronova component is now part of ESPHome. This repo is still valid and is the first place where new features and bugfixes show up. Full ESPHome documentation: https://esphome.io/components/micronova

You have to build a simple circuit to interface with your stove see documentation preview for the details. You can also order a board from @philibertc, that should make it dead easy.

Example configuration

The hardest part is to configure the correct IO pins for the UART and the enable_rx. Users have reported that when you got the interface board from @philibertc, then the pin-config below should work:

uart:
  tx_pin: D4
  rx_pin: D3
  baud_rate: 1200
  stop_bits: 2

micronova:
  enable_rx_pin: D2
  serial_reply_delay: 100ms

A generic example below. All buttons, sensors, text_sensors, switch and numbers accept a memory_location and memory_address. Specify those if the defaults don't work for you.

uart:
  tx_pin: 5
  rx_pin: 4
  baud_rate: 1200
  stop_bits: 2

Creating a climate component overlay

I'm working on a climate component for the Mirconova platform, in the future this may no longer be necessary

You can configure a climate component that links, back and forth, to the Micronova component. The example below will synchronize the thermostat setpoint and switch the stove on and off. Also when you change the thermostat setting on the stove or via the number component, that value will link back to the climate component. The same goes voor the stove switch state.

The if-conditions in the Lambda are there to make sure not to create an endless loop.

This climate component looks just like any other climate control in Home Assistant.
