I have an eco-pea boiler with a feeder, it is controlled by a Rapid 3Z controller. I would like to be able to switch it on and off and view parameters remotely. I came up with an idea to solder a small 3.3V relay under the "start" button (directly to the microstick in the controller) and control the relay with esp. In addition, in order to get readings from the controller, I would solder to the LEDs and all the leads of the segmented LED displays and by measuring the voltages at these points I would know if a particular LED was lit or not, so I could know the status of the LEDs and even what was displayed on the LED display. Under the 230V outputs from the controller for the pump, feeder and fan I would connect relays with a 230V coil so I could also read on the esp whether these devices are working or not.
Has anyone tried controlling devices this way that have no external control?
