I have an HR20 (style) thermostat and want to flash it with openHR20, hook it up to an Arduino and control it from that Arduino. I do not want the wireless interface - in my opinion, a wired connection is better if you don't mind the cables, which I don't.
Now the question is: Is that possible out-of-the-box? I tried looking at the software, but my low-level-C is not good enough, I'm afraid. The basic questions are:
- Does openHR20 expose a serial console somewhere? On the pins of the JTAG header? Or would the only possibility be to grab the console at the points that are usually connected to the wireless module?
- Does openHR20 work at all if no wireless module is present? I figure that this wireless module is configurable (for different frequencies?), so openHR20 probably expects some responses from the module.. does it crash if the module is not present?
Thanks a lot,
Lukas
