Interactive heater regulator

A loose collection of scripts and services to regulate an old Vaillant heater via Raspberry Pi. The regulator is a simple python script and is executed through a systemd service in a screen terminal. To gather and visualize all kinds of metrics the script exposes data to prometheus. The metrics can be shown in a Grafana dashboard.
