Possible Causes

Incorrect OpenTherm wiring, Incompatible boiler protocol, Damaged OpenTherm interface on Heat Hub, Reversed polarity on OT terminals

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: OpenTherm connections are typically low voltage but may be inside mains compartments. Isolate boiler and Heat Hub before opening covers.

  • Verify compatibility: Confirm that your boiler supports OpenTherm and that Wiser is configured to use it (if applicable).
  • Check wiring: With power off, ensure the OpenTherm + and - wires are correctly connected between the Heat Hub OT terminals and the boiler OT terminals.
  • Inspect cable: Look for damage or crushing along the cable route.
  • Switch to relay mode (test): If possible, temporarily configure the Heat Hub to use simple on/off relay control instead of OpenTherm to see if heating stabilises.
  • If E15 persists in OT mode: The OpenTherm interface on the Heat Hub or boiler may be faulty. Consult a heating engineer; replacement of the Heat Hub or boiler control board may be required.
