Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)


Will my settings remain when updating BSB-LAN?

  • That depends. Minor updates will not affect any settings, but sometimes it is unavoidable that changes in the code also affect the settings. In that case, it is mentioned in the file CHANGELOG.md, and BSB-LAN rewrites the settings in the EEPROM based on the settings in BSB_LAN_config.h. That's why it's best to always make significant changes in the settings also in that file.
    Updates never affect any parameters in the heating system.

My heater has a OpenTherm/eBus/BridgeNet/L-Bus/R-Bus connector, can I use BSB-LAN?

  • No, these controllers are not compatible with BSB-LAN. Do not try and connect the adapter to your heating system!
    If you own any of these heating systems, there are some other projects for Remeha's R-Bus (also used in newer Brötje heating systems), BridgeNet bus (actually some sort of eBus used by Elco/Ariston/Chaffoteaux heating systems), and OpenTherm.
    These projects are not related to BSB-LAN in any way, and no support can be provided here.

I'm missing function XYZ

  • BSB-LAN offers the possibility to create own functions using the files BSB_LAN_custom_global.h, BSB_LAN_custom_setup.h and BSB_LAN_custom.h. Please see the folder custom_functions in the repository for more details and examples. Feel free to contribute your solutions to the public!
