Bosch EasyControl on a Remeha boiler: only with the EasyControl Adapter

Short answer: yes, the Bosch EasyControl works with a Remeha boiler, but only with the EasyControl Adapter. Remeha boilers use OpenTherm; the EasyControl itself speaks EMS bus (Nefit/Bosch). The adapter translates, and the boiler keeps modulating. This applies to the Avanta, Tzerra, Calenta and Quinta, including the Ace versions (which have OpenTherm in addition to R-bus). The set with adapter is then the logical choice.

Remeha by series

Remeha series	Thermostat connection	EasyControl	Spare parts
Avanta and Avanta Ace	OpenTherm	With adapter	Avanta and Avanta Ace parts
Tzerra and Tzerra Ace	OpenTherm	With adapter	Tzerra and Tzerra Ace parts
Calenta and Calenta Ace	OpenTherm	With adapter	Calenta and Calenta Ace parts

Always check the protocol in the installation manual of your appliance (search for "OpenTherm" or "thermostat connection"). Remeha fault codes with cause and part: Remeha fault codes.

What you need: thermostat with adapter

If you also want to control radiators per room, choose a set with radiator valves and order the adapter separately.

Step by step: connecting EasyControl

Always read your boiler's installation manual first. If you are unsure about the terminals, have an installer do it.

1. Disconnect the boiler from the power (unplug it) and disconnect the existing thermostat. Bosch specifies that only one thermostat may be connected to the boiler.
2. Connect the EasyControl Adapter with two wires to the boiler's thermostat terminals (the OpenTherm terminals on OpenTherm boilers, the on/off contact on on/off boilers). The adapter needs its own power socket.
3. Connect the EasyControl thermostat with two wires to the adapter (no polarity).
4. Order when switching on: first the thermostat, then plug the adapter into the socket, then the boiler. The adapter searches for OpenTherm for about a minute; if it does not find it, it switches to on/off. To make it search again: unplug the adapter for 25 seconds.
5. Switch the boiler on, connect to your 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi via the Bosch EasyControl app (5 GHz does not work) and follow the setup.
6. After half an hour, check whether the boiler modulates (the flame keeps burning at lower output) and whether the app shows the boiler status.

Things to bear in mind

• On/off via the adapter: the boiler does not modulate and the app reads nothing (no water pressure, no consumption). You do keep remote control, the time programme and presence detection.
• OpenTherm via the adapter: modulating. The water pressure is only shown if the boiler has a pressure sensor and the values have been checked once.
• Nefit Easy Connect or RCC module on an older boiler: remove it first, EasyControl does not work together with it.
• One EasyControl per boiler. You control multiple rooms with the Smart Radiator Thermostats (radiator heads), not with a second thermostat.
• 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi is required; a network that only broadcasts 5 GHz does not work.

Frequently asked questions

My Remeha Tzerra Ace has an eTwist. Can the EasyControl replace it?

Yes, via the adapter on the OpenTherm terminals. The eTwist uses R-bus; that is a different connection. Disconnect the eTwist, because only one thermostat may be connected to the boiler.

Does the Remeha modulate with the EasyControl?

Yes, over OpenTherm via the adapter.

Can I see the water pressure in the app?

If the boiler has a pressure sensor (Calenta, Tzerra Ace, Avanta Ace) and the value has been checked once. An Avanta without a pressure sensor does not show the pressure.

Isn't the Remeha eTwist simpler?

For a Remeha, yes: no adapter needed. The EasyControl is interesting if you want the Bosch radiator valves or presence detection, or are considering a Nefit/Bosch boiler later.
