Your advices sound great : I’ve to created a WinServices or Linux daemon and then bring the windows apps as a standalone application (a Wireshark like for Velbus 
).
Maybe linux daemon from jeroends would be enough then, if I can connect to it with TCP. How it works ? could it support many connexions ? if a host send a frame to Velbus USB/Serial, is this frame replicated to other TCP hosts ?
Thanks,
David
GG Golfy en tout cas
Merci pour toutes ces versions sympa !
Cool polur Linux, ca devrait pouvoir rapidement tourner sur un synology ça

it works by just connecting tcp socket to the defined port 3788 i think. and then you receive your frames over that tcp socket.
i’m using it with up to 4 connections and its working perfectly for over a year now.
yes, you could use it to send messages through your serial device with many (many many) connections. I don’t know anymore how many connections I’ve running, but they all connect from time to time (I’m using a few different scripts to control some things like ie. blinds_up).
for more info how to use: [forum.velbus.eu/t/velbus-software/3041/1)
You could use any port you want to, but standard it is stil 3788 (this was first standard used by velbus)
Sorry for late answer, not enough time to really work on it.
But I’ve enhanced the windows version with 2 functions :
- Enhanced time resolution in Date message
- Log to file enabled (checkbox was here but nothing worked before 3.10)

there is a linux version but more experimental (it works on Debian, thanks to niels for his help) !!!
By the way, I keep the GUI version because** it’s the only way to see messages coming from Velbus or from Network **: if I create a daemon, the GUI analyzer could never see if messages are Velbus or network generated !
Maybe, I could create an other port (dual server port) : first network port for standard applications (VelbusLink, VelbusCmd, Veltron, …) and an other port for dedicated protocol with analyzer.
MDAR Ltd (UK) is currently working very closely with the back office coding team at openremote.com to provide full support for the current and future Velbus modules.
This intergration was made possible with the exclusive use of Golfy’s PB_Server
We’d all like to thank Golfy publicly for his efforts to create this robust server app.
For anyone interested in making use of the upcoming OpenRemote Pro Velbus support should sign up for an account at openremote.com and setup a Velbus server like PB_Server for your new local OpenRemote server to talk to.
I can be messaged directly for more information.
Again, thank you to everyone that has contributed to this intergration project.
Best wishes,
Stuart

hello ,
is it possible to put a tutorial online , how to make the connection between openremote and the velbusserver
this information is already online somewhere ?

Thanks for the interest in OpenRemote Pro, PB_Server & Velbus.
More information about the integration can be found on this topic.
[forum.velbus.eu/t/openremote-com-intergration-with-velbus-free-to-all/11538/1)
Rest assured that the fine detail about how to configure OpenRemote Pro with a Velbus TCP server will be listed in the How To documentation on the OpenRemote site when the integration is launched before the end of September.
All you’ll need is the IP address and port number of your Velbus TCP server, or multiple servers.
Update - Oct 2015
Current Velbus modules are now fully supported in OpenRemote Pro V1.3
Please follow this forum topic for more information

hi, I have now run the server for a few days and works well,
now my question is ,
is there a possibility to operate via an html code ( or javascript) a switch ( code on the can )

Hi,
Are you asking about communicating directly with PB_Server?
Which I understand can be done from a MS Dos command line app, which can be found on Golfy’s site.
Or are you asking about controlling a feature in OpenRemote Pro from a HTML code?
Which is possible, if you use a URL that addresses a button or Switch directly, please search the OpenRemote forum for more info.
Alternatively, there is the WebConsole feature in OpenRemote, which gives full access to your OpenRemote panels from a web browser.
Again, please search the OpenRemote forum for more help.
Hello guys,
just a good news, there is a new version of PB_Velbus-server : 3.24.
Hope this site would stay a long time (executables still on my personal website)

Thanks Ciceron. I’ve to show a SHA256 hash of all my files.
For now, no problem with my applications and if you’re affraid to use it, you can put a firewall rule to block any external connexions (allow only LAN connexion to the server).
PB_Velbus-server : VirusTotal
velbusCmd : VirusTotal
VelCheck : VirusTotal
In last resort, I could send you original sources files and you can compile them with PureBasic.

it is not that i dont trust you, sometimes servers got hacked and files replaced with virus…
There is no problem with your comment, I was IT security consulting in a previous life (now teacher… in computing science ^^ )
If you want to compare my original SHA256 files with downloaded file :
- PB_Velbus-server ► EC5FF052F7E279B3B97D17355D51573D70DFA9194995ABBC34ABD8AA681D10DB
- VelbusCmd ► 63106B901B9EE705701FCC7462510DA0EBA941EB3D6708FC77A11AE3B1854B31
- VelCheck.exe ► AB63AD0CDFCAEBF97FCF5A5926778330D80A3884EAF5001ECF742D07A7A0AC06
I use a simple application on Sourceforge : CyoHash (https://sourceforge.net/projects/cyohash/ )
I agree with you about security, so your warning is good for everyone
