Eldat Easywave / Nikobus / FAAC Altron questions.

Post by aeisenhuth »

:?: Hello my name is Adi, I have been using domoticz for 2 weeks. I have an installation on a Windows system with Windows 10 x64. Everything runs so far stable. I already use Philips HUE. Next week, the Xiaomi Gateway 2 comes with some sensors (Temp, Motion, Door). I have but a big hardware problem of Eldat Easywave. A USB Transciver Eldat RTR09 installed as a COM5 can shut down with Putty or Hyperterminal with the command: TXP, 01, A a shutter, with TXP, 01, B high, with TXP, 01, C stop. Since the hardware is not under hardware to find, I had thought I create a dummy switch and there an LUA script which sends the hyperterminal command: TXP, 01, A to the transciver. However, I do not know about LUA, would there be such a possibility? The Eldat RTR09 has 57600 baud, data 8, stop bits 1, no parity, no flow control. Or someone would have a different idea. I would be very grateful for all tips. I have 15 of these blinds at home, 01, channel1, 15 channel 15 each with A, B, C

Hi Adi,

found this old Tread about Easywave.
I've build a Python plugin for the Eldat transciever.
Still Interested?

Hello wetLip, thanks for the tip with the driver integration. Did you already somehow run Eldat in domoticz with a plugin etc.

So for the Eldat USB stick would be enough if I enter your code in the command line?

§ sudo modprobe cp210x
§ sudo sh -c 'echo 155a 100D > /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/cp210x/new_id'
§ sudo sh -c 'echo 155a 1013 > /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/cp210x/new_id'
§ sudo sh -c 'echo 155a 1006 > /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/cp210x/new_id'

Remains the driver after a restart.

Here I have obtained an extract of the file cp210x.c from the manufacturer, suitable for the ELDAT RTR09 or the RX09. Line 3 and 4 with Eldat.

Modem */
{ USB_DEVICE(0x13AD, 0x9999) }, /* Baltech card reader */
{ USB_DEVICE(0x155A, 0x1005) }, /* ELDAT Easywave Transceiver */
{ USB_DEVICE(0x155A, 0x1006) }, /* ELDAT USB Transceiver Easywave
*/

So Eldat RTR09 is now installed in PI3. Here a small wiki:

1. Create a text file in /etc/modules-load.d. Name cp210x.conf with the following content: cp210x

2. Open the file domoticz.sh in /etc/init.d.

3. At line 95 --> ["$ Verbose"! = No] && log_daemon_msg "Starting $ DESC" "$ NAME"

add the following in a new line:

#Parameters for the kernel module cp210x
echo "parameter for kernel module cp210x set .."
sh -c 'echo 155a 1005 > /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/cp210x/new_id'
sh -c 'echo 155a 1006 > /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/cp210x/new_id'

It works for me fine, now the Eldat Transciver Stick is working
Now I just have to watch as I create a command via Python so that it addresses the blinds.

Thanks wetlip
