<div dir="ltr">Hi New subscriber to the OpenTRV list here.<div>Maybe this question has already been answered. but I have not yet found the list archive.</div><div><br></div><div>I notice from the OpenTRV schematic that you are using a 32MHz crystal for the ATMega328. What are the implications of using a different frequency?</div>
<div><br></div><div>I discovered OpenTRV after building an Arduino based Opentherm gateway between my spanking new Intergas boiler, and its (not so) intelligent Opentherm controller from Remaha. You can see my project details at <a href="https://github.com/delboy711/ArduinoOpenTherm" target="_blank">https://github.com/delboy711/ArduinoOpenTherm</a>.</div>
<div><br></div><div>One of the reasons I built it was because when my living room is up to temperature I wanted to tell the boiler to keep supplying heat for the radiators in other rooms. This naturally requires me to control the rads with motorised valves and to communicate with the valves which led to discovering OpenTRV. (That's what I love about OpenSource. No matter what you want to do, someone, somewhere is already working on it!).</div>
<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>I have a motorised valve on order from Conrad (the 561800-89 ), and had planned to use a 3.3V Arduino Pro Mini and an RFM22B radio unit to listen in on the protocol. But the Pro Mini has an 8MHz resonator hence my question why OpenTRV uses 32MHz.</div>
