ebusd - eBUS daemon
ebusd is a daemon for handling communication with eBUS devices connected to a 2-wire bus system ("energy bus" used by numerous heating systems).
Features
The main features of the daemon are:
- actively send messages to and receive answers from the eBUS
- passively listen to messages sent on the eBUS
- regularly poll for messages
- scan for bus participants
- cache all data
- grab unknown messages
- log messages and problems to a log file
- dump sent/received bytes to the log file
- dump received bytes to binary files for later playback/analysis
- listen for client connections on a dedicated TCP port

Either pick the latest release package suitable for your system (see https://github.com/john30/ebusd/releases/latest) or build it yourself.
