[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_asynchronous_receiver/transmitter Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter] (UART) is a simple serial communication protocol which allows two devices to talk to each other. It uses just two data signals and a ground (GND) signal:

* '''RX/RXD''': Receive signal
''Frame description''
* '''TX/TXD''': Transmit signal


The protocol is asynchronous, i.e., there is no dedicated clock signal. Rather, both devices have to agree on a baudrate (number of bits to be transmitted per second) beforehand. Baudrates can be arbitrary in theory, but usually the choice is limited by the hardware UARTs that are used. Common values are '''9600''' or '''115200'''.

!Comments


The protocol allows full-duplex transmission, i.e. both devices can send data at the same time. However, unlike SPI (which is always full-duplex, i.e., each send operation is automatically also a receive operation), UART allows one-way communication, too. In such a case only one signal (and GND) is required.

The idle state of the RX/TX line is 1/high. As the start bit is 0/low, the receiver can continually monitor its RX line for a falling edge, in order to detect the start bit. Once detected, it can (due to the agreed-upon baudrate and thus the known width/duration of one UART bit) sample the state of the RX line "in the middle" of each (start/data/parity/stop) bit it wants to analyze.

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

[To be defined]

Idle state

[To be defined]

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.
