Here a description of how to install the hardware - indepentdent from Open Source WThermostat. No special Hardware installation necessary for Upgrading to this firmware!
- see Installation.md
Pre-built binaries can be downloaded at releases-page.
You can install the firmware either
- by using tuya-convert - no Hardware Modifications necessary
- by soldering cables to the ESP-Modules using an ESP/Arduino-Programmer (3,3 Volt TTL)
- by using OTA Upgrade on tasmota or other Open Source ESP Firmware
Yoube video of converting to 1.14-fas with tuya-convert: https://youtu.be/fqfghJqnK_8
Follow instructions here: Flashing.md
- The devices becomes an Access Point
- Connect to WiFi
Thermostat-xxxxxxwith Password12345678 - Open
http://192.168.4.1or wait for Captive Portal to be opened on Android - Configure your WiFi Settings
- After initial setup, the device configuration is available at
http://<device_ip>/ - Configure device model, clock and other settings
See Configuration.md for a detailed explanation of the setup.
You can Upgrade over the Air from other versions of WThermostatBeca on the Web-GUI. Please check all settings after Upgrade!
If you upgrade from Klaus-Ahrenberg's version, please note:
- Only WLAN settings are kept
- If you get "Not Enough Space" you can use WThermostat_1.xx-fas-minial.bin as interim version.
- WLAN settings are kept
- no MQTT, no Beca-control, no Clock in -minimal
- Then Upgrade to normal version
- Not necessary when upgrading from fas to fas versions
Main Screen:
Network Screen:
Schedule Screen:
Live WebLog Screen:
- Use Operation to Switch between 'heat', 'cool', 'fan_only' and 'off'
- Use Preset to switch between 'None' (manual), 'Scheduler' and 'eco'
- Changing temp disables scheduler and switches to preset 'None'
WThermostatBeca supports optional HASS-Autodiscovery since Version 1.08-fas. You must enable it at Thermostat (settings network) and of course it must be enabled in your HASS configuration.yaml file:
mqtt:
broker: <ip of broker>
discovery: true
discovery_prefix: homeassistantYou should use a persistent MQTT-Broker, keeping all retained messages during reboot/restart. HASS integrated MQTT broker is not persistent. Otherwise all autodiscovered messages are getting lost and you must reboot all devices, to send HASS autodiscover messages again! See: https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/mqtt/discovery/
Example for users of mosquitto, file mosquitto.conf:
persistence true
persistence_file mosquitto.db
persistence_location /var/lib/mosquitto/
autosave_interval 1800
# The default if not set is to never expire persistent clients.
persistent_client_expiration 24h
See https://mosquitto.org/man/mosquitto-conf-5.html for more details.
For manual Configuration here is an example for your configuration.yaml file:

The BAC-002/BAC-1000 does not support auto mode. The Device (MCU) can not switch automatically between heating, cooling or fan mode.
To Switch between Automatic Scheduling and Manual Mode we use 'holdState' with the following mode: 'scheduler' and 'manual', combined with mode 'eco'. If you choose 'None' it disables 'eco' and device jumps back to last mode (scheduler/manual). Do not use away_mode_ combined with holdState.

Since version 0.96 this firmware supports Mozilla WebThings directly. With webthings you can control the thermostat via the Gateway - inside and also outside of your home network. No clunky VPN, dynDNS solutions needed to access your home devices. I recommend to run the gateway in parallel to an MQTT server and for example Node-Red. Via MQTT you can control the thermostat completely and logic can be done by Node-Red. WebThings is used for outside control of main parameters.
Add the device to the gateway via '+' icon. After that you have the new nice and shiny icon in the dashboard:
The icon shows the actual temperature and heating state.
There is also a detailed view available:
The software provides different messages:
- Thermostat State report (JSON)
- Schedules (JSON)
- Device (at start of device to let you know the topics and ip)
- Logs (Plain)
MQTT: State report is provided every 5 minutes, at change of a parameter or at request via message with empty payload to <your_topic>/cmnd/things/thermostat/properties , reports are sent to <your_topic>/stat/things/thermostat/properties.
The state report is sent with MQTT-retain-flag enabled.
WebThings: State report can be requested by: http://<device_ip>/things/thermostat/properties

For MQTT Troubleshooting i suggest MQTT Explorer, which can be found at https://github.com/thomasnordquist/MQTT-Explorer
The Hardware itself has two Microcontrollers:
- The MCU, the Main Controlling Unit.
- The software on the MCU gets not upgraded with WThermostat, so no changes are possible here!
- It controls Temperature, Display, the Relay, Scheduling, has RTC, etc.
- Sonix SN8F57083 8 bit Microcontroller
- The ESP8266-based Tuya-WiFi-Module.
- The Software of ESP can be flashed with this Open Source WThermostat
- There is a serial connection between MCU and ESP. Via this connection we can control the MCU
- Only the WiFi-Versions of thermostats have the ESP-Module.
Both devices are communication using a binary serial protocol, called "MCU protocol". See Tuya Cloud Universal Serial Port Access Protocol_Tuya Smart_Docs.pdf
Because ESP8266 runs with 3.3 Volt and Sonix MCU runs with 5.0 Volt the Serial-TTL-Level gets shifted with transistors.
I have been often asked if I can implement a specific feature. Often the answer is: Because all internal routines (reading temperature, controlling the relay, reading the buttons, controlling the display) are controlled by MCU, which still runs proprietary closed source software, the behavior cannot be changed!
Flash the original firmware (see installation). Write me a message with your exact model and which parameter was not correct. Maybe your MQTT-server received some unknown messages - this would be also helpful for me. Again: I have tested this only with model BHT-002-GBLW. If you have another device, don't expect that this is working directly.
For building from sources and coding i suggest VS Code and PlatformIO. You can also use Gitpod.
- Install Visual Studio Code and PlatformIO.
- Type:
git clone https://github.com/fashberg/WThermostatBeca
cd WThermostatBeca
# download dependant library WAdapter
git submodule init
git submodule update- Open the folder 'WThermostatBeca' in VS Code
- Go to PlatformIO Alien Icon on the left
- Open in Tree "wthermostat" and click General/Build
- Binary Firmware can be found in build_output/firmware/wthermostat-1.xx-fas.bin (or -debug or -minimal)
All dependant arduino-libraries (DNSServer, EEPROM (for esp8266), ESP8266HTTPClient, ESP8266mDNS, AsyncWebServer, ESP8266WiFi, Hash, NTPClient, Time.) will be downloaded automatically (defined in platform.ini) and the necessary WAdapter library from https://github.com/fashberg/WAdapter (git submodule).
You probably want to specify your own Port-Settings. Copy platformio_override.sample.ini to platformio_override.ini and define your stuff.
There are 3 environments:
-
wthermostat: this is the default production environment.
-
wthermostat-minimal: this is the minimal version. No MQTT and no Thermostat Support, meant for OTA Upgrading when standard is too small. After flashing minimal do an upgrade to normal.
-
wthermostat-debug: this is the debug/development version. DO NOT FLASH TO THERMOSTAT HARDWARE! There is debugging output to serial interface which will confuse Thermostat-MCU. Upload to USB-Connected development ESP8266 board (Node MCU or Wemos D1 Mini pro) and monitor the output in vscode/pio-monitor.
bin vs bin.gz: You can directly upload a gzipped (compressed) firmware via OTA
You can open and compile this Project on Gitpod. You need a GitHub account, 50 hours are free per month - don't forget to stop the workspace.
Just click
The fist build starts automatically. You can download the firmware by right-clicking in the Project-Explorer the file located at build_output/firmware/wthermostat-1.xx-fas.bin and then choose Download.
- Build normal firmware:
platformio run -e wthermostat - Build all firmwares:
platformio run - Get latest version and dependant libraries.
git pull ; git pull --recurse-submodules - Upgrade PlatformIO:
platformio upgrade --dev - Upgrade Dependencies:
