Indeed. Don't forget Vokera as option OP
Thank you Dan but I don't think it the done thing to advertise especially in light of ...
Interesting, they don't advertise this on their website...is there a thing of words in the Library about how to make it work with OT?

So what has superseded it?
Manufacturers use their own proprietary controls. There is no advantage for them offering compatibility with OT, because there is a limited instruction set and it erodes their controls sales.
Manufacturers only used OT gateways where they couldn't afford to develop their own stuff or there was legislation mandating it (Netherlands, I believe).
The internet had only just been invented when OpenTherm was being designed.

Just use the OT bridge instead of the BDR.
I think you are forgetting the "Internet of Things". For this you need sensors / actors that share an IP network. Most heating companies are too scared to open up their protocols, but in the end they will lose because the customer will demand it.
Internet conceived 1969; Opentherm 1996.
Yes, I'm sure we all had the internet in our houses in 1969, you Google wielding pedant.
In 1998 less than 9% of UK home households had access to the internet, it nearly doubled the year after. So I think 5% is a good guess for 1996 - and that is when OT was published, not designed.
I don't think the customer will demand it, 99% of my customers just want an Evo - or think they want a Hive till I show it to them.
The internet of things is linking the manufacturer products like vSmart, WAVE, etc. OpenTherm means nothing to the man in the street and it never will, its time has passed. It is history.
Unless you have a Remeha Avanta.

Da Vinci "conceived" the helicopter in 1493
The first practical one was made in 1939
See we can all use Google to prove a point @D_Hailsham

You are making the incorrect assumption that every fact anyone gives must have been obtained by searching the Internet. Wrong! I've been using the Internet since 1992 - before Google existed - and, even then, was familiar with ARPANET and other "Internet" predecessors.
As for your prediction about the end of OT, we will just have to wait and see. But I wouldn't bet any money on it if I was you.
I don't know of any Baxi boiler - apart from the rebranded Remeha Avanta - which has been equipped with OpenTherm.
The Netscape brand may no longer exist, but the browser still continues as Firefox.
The point I was making was that the manufacturer of your own boiler has dropped OpenTherm.
I believe the GA range had OpenTherm; now discontinued.
I install boilers, you Google them. Both have equal sway on this forum.
