How do we continue discussions that started on the old forum? [https://openenergymonitor.org/forum-archive/node/10737.html](https://openenergymonitor.org/forum-archive/node/10737.html) Or contact those members to see if they can share what they have found out till now? ---

Glyn or Trysan might be able to help, but as far as I know, the old membership list is gone. Some members have migrated and kept the same user name, some have migrated and changed their user name, with varying degrees of similarity.

You could try searching for them on the new forum then notifying them with a @ mention. Obviously we could not force users to join the new forum therefore there might be some old users who have not migrated. ---

@glyn.hudson is there any chance you could allow me to PM RogerMunford from the old forum or give me some details that allows me to make contact? ---

I have sent Roger an email, to notify him of the thread on the new forums: > [@Vaillant VC430 Boiler Controller](https://community.openenergymonitor.org/t/vaillant-vc430-boiler-controller/5210): > > This discussion started here [Vaillant VC430 Boiler Controller | Archived Forum](https://openenergymonitor.org/forum-archive/node/10737.html) I want to know how people have gotten on with getting their boiler to become smarter. I have all the tools needed to read and write to the eBus. But I do not have the Vaillant controllers, so I do not know what messages are sent between the controller and the boiler.
