Ik heb een installatie die nu werkt met een Homecenter interface.
Ik heb een raspberry PI 5 in de plaats gezet. Die is gekoppeld aan de USB poort van de USB module en aan het internet. Op de raspberry staat home Assistant en die is volledig werkende.
Ik wil nu deze raspberry ook gebruiken om met velbuslink de installatie te programmeren, net zoals dit lukt met de Signum module in een andere installatie.
Hiervoor zou een velserv1.5.zip moeten geïnstalleerd worden heb ik begrepen, maar die is nergens te vinden.
Kan Iemand mij helpen?

Hi @MDAR ,
I’m trying to re-install velserv with your script. It worked before, but now I’m getting a “could not resolve www.mdar.co.uk ” error when I try to do “wget http://www.mdar.co.uk/dl/velserv-setup.sh ”
Any ideas? I wanted to re-install velserv because I noticed it’s using A LOT of CPU since I did an update of my DietPi installation yesterday. It was idling before, but now it uses 50 - 75% of CPU consistently…
Thanks for your help!
That’s on my website, which references @jeroends site to get the latest version.

However, I would suggest you look at the official Velbus TCP gateway software
Hello everyone
We’ve made a snap package to easily run a Velbus TCP gateway on any snapd-compatible Linux distribution.
To install, simply run these two commands;
snap install velbus-tcp
snap connect velbus-tcp:raw-usb :raw-usb
The server will now listen at 27015 (which you can connect to with VelbusLink).
Source code and further information can be found at https://github.com/velbus/velbus-tcp-snap
You can find a setup script on my website
https://www.mdar.co.uk/dl/velbus/velbus-tcp.sh
wget https://www.mdar.co.uk/dl/velbus/velbus-tcp.sh
sudo sh velbus-tcp.sh
Many thanks for your quick respons

I am currently looking into Velbus. For a new installation I assume I can use the Rasberry I’m running in my current home. Do I still need the USB module (VMBUSB-20) for it to communicate with the Velbus installation, or can it connect elseway?

Hi @Tenie
Welcome.
You are welcome to use any SBC or Server you wish, but yes a USB interface would be the absolute minimum to connect.
You can either set your software of choice to go directly to it or use some gateway software to allow for multiple simultaneous connections.
VelServ C++
In this How to, @jeroends and I will try to briefly explain how to download, compile and auto-start VelServ.
A simple and effective Linux TCP server for Velbus.
If you are a Windows user and need a TCP server for Velbus, then @Golfy has created a great purebasic application that can be found here : https://forumtest.velbus.eu/t/an-other-velbus-server-purebasic/5523/53
Download the VelServ code
For now, you can download VelServ 1.5 in a neat Zip file from my website, this will be moved to Git…
Velbus-tcp (Python or Snap)

Or the HASSIO add-on -
todya i can release my velbusd addon for hassio.
With this addon you can simply connect your hassio device to the serial bus, let hassio connect to the local tcp/ip port and also provide connectivity for velbuslink.
This addon was requested multiple time, and now its finished and useable
