Hello, Currently I have my home equipped with the Nobo heaters that are controlled by Nobo hub using wifi to connect to the heaters. The system can be controlled using either a phone app or a Nobo wifi remote that connects to the hub. The remote is basically a four button switch powered by a CR2032 battery: - Schedule: radiators are using predetermined schedule saved on the hub - Comfort: all radiators maintain comfort temperature (22 in my case) - Away: all radiators maintain away temperature (14 in my case) - Vacations: all radiators maintain vacation temperature (7 in my case) Homey does not have any app to connect to Nobo system and I am wondering if there is any workaround. I would like Homey to be able to switch Nobo between Schedule and Away states. I was wondering if this can be done through any of the following: - **Sniffer**. I know, that e.g. 433MHz signal can be sniffed by Broadlink RM Pro+. Is there a similar wifi sniffer that can mimic a signal sent by Nobo remote (most likely not, though, because it is not about sending a wifi signal, but sending a signal to the Nobo hub that it would accept) - ammending Nobo switch with several **receivers soldered to the respective buttons**. Once Homey sends signal, a receiver should short the circuit of the respective button briefly, thus emulating button press. Notably, I do not need any feedback from Nobo to Homey. So, one-way receiver should work. Hence, do you know of any receivers supported by Homey that can do the job? Obviously, the receiver should be self-powered/externally powered, since it cannot be powered from the Nobo switch. Thank you. ---

I follow you on this issue, I have a simliar setup at my home, but older. I have 6 Nobø TRB36 floor thermostats, which are communicating on RF with a older Orion Hub. It should be possible to control the thermostats from Homey. From my reading, nobody had done any effort on the Nobø/Glen-Dimplex internal communication systems. I am training myself to be able to build this myself, but will take time. By the way, from all I have read, the frequency of communication is 868. (pardon the Norwegian here) - Radiofrekvens 868,4 MHz [Norwegian store](https://www.eldirekte.no/nobo-energy-control-hub/cat-p/c0/p10634355?gclid=Cj0KCQiAmL-ABhDFARIsAKywVacBPEnnPRrT791U1KlEEv-xBRYzNsaN6--Oyj3Le3u9qrB5Fj6mzh4aAiecEALw_wcB) Homey is able to both communicate and sniff on 868, as well as 433 br ---

On [Homey Developer](https://developer.athom.com/tools/signals) you can Record a Signal and Emulate a Signal. ---

I stand corrected, it is not sniffing as such, just recording 4 sec of 433 or 868. And with an uknown comm protocol, it is a long stretch. ---

Hello Jan. Did you manage to find a way to control Nobø heaters with Homey Pro? I have various Nobø wall heaters and also floor heating thermostats that I can control through the Nobø app. I’m planning to purchase Homey Pro 2023, but if I won’t be able to control the heating system, it will be a significant drawback. Please, can you write me a response if it’s already possible? Thank you. ---
