The easymatic protocol decoder can decode the thermostat Easymatic bus protocol used by De Dietrich.

Hardware

Differential link

The easymatic is linked to the boiler with two wires. This link can feed power to the easymatic. Easymatic can have two R4 accu in order to save data if the power is cut.

Boiler power is a 24V modulated with communication power.

Communication is always working.

[To be confirmed]

The hardware is similar to OpenTherm Specifications:

  • differential link
  • about 24V
  • tension modulation for boiler
  • intensity modulation for thermostat (easymatic)?

In order to capture data with a logic analyzer an interface must be created (to reduce the voltages to levels the respective logic analyzer can handle).

Electrical coding

Idle state

Protocol

Uart based

Whereas OpenTherm uses Manchester code, the easymatic seems to be based on Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (UART):

  • 1200 baud
  • 8 data bits (LSB-first)
  • even parity
  • one stop bit

Details

[To be discovered and detailed]

Frames are repeated twice.

To be defined: how an order is send

All frames consist of 6 bytes.

Boiler frames begin with a byte in 01, 03, 05, 07, 09, 0B, 0D. Thermostat frames begin with a "boiler beginning frame +1": 02, 04, 06, 08, 0A, 0C, 0E.
