Actually Openhab and the serial binding are working fine but I would like to run the Velbus Network Bridge. I installed Velserv as well described by Stuart (MDAR) but I’m getting:
/bin/stty: /dev/serial/by-id/usb-Velleman_Projects_VMB1USB_Velbus_USB_interface-if00: No such file or directory
velserv.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
When I look in the directory /dev I can’t find a dir “serial”.
Of coarse when I’m trying to setup the Velbus Network Bridge by means of the Paper UI it gives me:
Hello Jona,
let’s try to help you out. Can you do the following 3 commands for me at the command prompt:
ls /dev/tty*
lsusb
ls /dev/serial/by-id/
put the output of the command here, this is to see if your vmbusb is correctly named.
As Stuart directed: the VMBRSUSB has to be physicaly connected to your PI or the velserv program can’t find it to make a connection and stops. Is there are reasons to have only the server running without the gateway, you’ll need to adjust some things. But I think you don’t need this because this is only usefull when you have another velserv running and want to make a bridge over the network etc (complex things ).
Just retried the Network binding with the cable on this time and everything is working great even connection through the Velbuslink is working great. Of coarse it needed a physical connection. Sorry for that…
Another question about the time and date syncing. This normally is also done by the Velserv isn’t it? Is there a time interval that can be set or is this done at a certain time?
