Smart Oil Heating Control System

ESP32-based control system for oil-fired central heating with schedule-based temperature management, safety monitoring, and Prometheus metrics export.

Features

  • Schedule Control: Day/night temperature targets per weekday
  • Summer Mode: Automatic heating disable based on outdoor temperature
  • Safety Monitoring: Sensor sanity checks with automatic safe-state fallback
  • Prometheus Metrics: HTTP endpoint at port 9100

Prometheus Metrics

curl http://X.X.X.X:9100/metrics
