-Opentherm firmware - Nodoshop version
+Opentherm Nodoshop firmware
 
 This is a custom firmware for the Nodoshop NodeMCU/ESP8266 version of the OpenTherm Gateway. 
 
 It can be found here: https://www.nodo-shop.nl/nl/opentherm-gateway/188-opentherm-gateway.html  
 More information on this gateway can be read here: http://otgw.tclcode.com/  (also location of the OTGW PIC firmware) 
 
+The goal of this project is to become a fully functioning ESP8266 firmware that operates the OTGW as a standalone application. With a WebUI, MQTT and REST API, integration with Home Assistant (using MQTT discovery) and a TCP connection for serial connection (on port 25238).
