Finally pulled myself together and put together a simple monitor-and-reset-device.
My 18 years old not-at-all-smart-heater is a bit buggy; intermittently trips the internal thermal resetable fuse.

Image show a heater with the front panel removed showing its internal components. At the bottom left corner is a home made circuit board mounted. Wires are connected between the circuit board and the heater. Image show a home made circuit board containing a buck converter, relay and esp8266 nodemcu. This is powered by a mains to 12VDC transformer. From this circuit board are wires connected to the heater. Image show the code from the configuration of the esp8266 nodemcu done in ESPHome addon to HomeAssistant. This code makes it possible to monitor if there is a fault on the heater and also the ability to reset the heater in case of a fault. Image shows what is visible in HomeAssistant for this nodemcu. The ability to see if there is an fault and possibility to press a reset button.

Good morning!
Haven't got that much sleep this night, tired as hell. But working in this setting and with the crisp fresh air it makes you come alive! 0 °C today (32 °F for all you imperials😄)
Image of a morning sun slowly rising just over the hill tops. The view is over the wild frosty woods and in the horizon the hills and the rolling landscape.
