Firmware for mechatronic radiator thermostat based on Atmel AVR microcontroller, written in C.

WORK IN PROGRESS, please contribute.

Made in Germany by Eurotronic Technology GmbH, several product models (Sparmatic Comet / Zero / Basic, Aldi Thermy) are based on similar hardware.

The aim is to create firmware supporting all hardware features, allowing further development of control algorithms and additional wireless communications, improving and surpassing the original features.
