pip3 install david-home-automation==0.1.38
(sudo apt install --yes expect && cd $(mktemp -d) && git clone https://github.com/Heckie75/eQ-3-radiator-thermostat.git x && cd x && cp eq3.exp $HOME/.local/bin)

# You can also pass your config file path via an env variable
export HOME_AUTOMATION_CONFIG=your/path
python3 -m david_home_automation.server --server-host=0.0.0.0 --server-port 5000
./install.sh
Follow the eq3.exp guide for pairing your thermostats.
Make sure you do not connect/pair from multiple devices as the thermostats get easily confused.
If you are encountering strange connection issues or crypted error messages from the API (and by extension also eq3.exp), reset your thermostats to factory settings (see manual).
A useful debugging tool is btmon.
