As the z-wave of my Homey is broken and Athom support makes no effort to fix this, I've decided to take my Homey offline. It is useless in this state, also seen the slow progress of the core development in general.
With Homey offline I also cannot support my apps and have decided to remove these from the store.
For now the code is still available on GitHub (without support), so you could do a local install of it.
Doesn't find the gateway (actually it does, and it received updates) but doesn't say so in the settings page.
When adding thermostat it gives invalid capability error 3

Why not put it up in the Appstore?
I'm currently looking into the OpenTherm Gateway and your app looks amazing, you've really made quite an effort in developing this app and the detailed information provided with it!
If I choose to buy the parts for an OpenTherm Gateway then this would be my first project of this kind, so I could use some help...
In one of the forum posts @RamonBaas said "I've replaced the 7805 by a dc-dc converter and included a USR-TCP232-T in the OTG." Is there any information on how you've build it exactly (maybe a shopping list and a tutorial of some kind? )
I've found the following tutorial, this will get me in the right direction, but not all the way there...

As you will use the TTL signals, you can leave out the MAX232 and the 4 1uF capacitors (and the 10-pin header).
Either way, you'll need the 2A transformer (or 2.3A/2.8A in case of the Onion Omega) and the DC/DC converter as part of the OTG partlist.
If this is all to difficult, you can PM me and I might be able to assemble an OTG for you.
(Guess what just arrived in the mail today )
Order on conrad:
Al the thing from the partlist. Left out the max 232, 4x 1uF capacitors, the 10 pin connectorts, and the transformer. Then add the transformer from 2,8 amp and the DC/DC converter.
Order the (empty) PCB for the open gateway on Kiwi-electronics
Order the USR-TCP232-T2 on for ex. Ali Espress.
Putting it all together won't be a problem for me. After assembling it all, what is then te next step? What needs to be program and how.
You'll either need a PIC programmer (e.g. PICkit 3) or buy a pre-programmed PIC.
I've been using this app for quite some time now and I really like it. Today I deleted all my insights from Homey because it became unworkable and I noticed at OTGW logs every (tiny .xx) change in temperature.
Personally I would prefer an option to log temperature every hour or so instead of every change as this means that I have 4 data points in two minutes which really is too much.
But https://github.com/nlrb/com.tclcode.otgw works for me now.
