Hi all, since few weeks if not months my Ubuntu / Domotiga has been running heraticaly. One application crash per day, more or less, without knowing the origin. I finally upgraded Ubuntu to 12.04 and Domotiga to the latest (0.1.208). All seemed quite stable for a few days until today where I was abl...

Hi, my domotic setup is essentially dedicated to electric heating control. That is to say that during the summer time it's off (or at least I don't really look at it). With winter coming, I did restart it and replaced my old "home made" temperature control with the new thermostat device (w...

Hi Ron, I think we have two bugs in the polling procedure / status update according to polling procedure (1) Altough I did not check in depth, but it seems that the polling gets execueted only on the last "home code" (A, B, ...): for instance I have two devices with A home code (A01 and A0...

I have the same with PLCBUS: at a certain time, it should trigger two actions (switch B02 and B06 on for instance) and only does one out of two (the first one in order of apperance in the event window). When looking at the log, I get : 2011/02/05 21:49:00 [PLCBUS] > 02 05 FA 15 23 00 00 03 2011/02/0...

Well this is a very interresting topic ... especially since it is par of why I replaced all my X10 devices by PLCBUS ! In my previous configuration (Misterhouse, Digimax 210, AD10 modules), I was checking temperature vs. setpoint every 5 minute (setpoint depending on day of the week, time of the day...

Andy, are you trying to produce your own graphs or the simple graphs? Simple graphs: in the device setup ... x log RRD data / x Enable simple graphing, declare it as belonging to the climate group -> go to the climate tab and you should see your simple graphs. So far I didn't try to go further. But ...

Hi Ron, I read another thread initiated by hplus regarding the update of a device status when triggered externaly. Actually, I'm looking for the same in PLCBUS but it may be a bit different since in my case devices could be triggered by a local switch. However, this is what the polling is meant for,...

So ... I'm doing my first steps in Gambas and there is probably a "nicer" answer to this issue but I modified line 304 in CPLCBUS.class as follows : '--- check if valid frame --- IF RecBuf[0] = STX AND IF RecBuf[1] = &H6 AND IF (RecBuf[8] = ETX OR (RecBuf[0] + RecBuf[1] + RecBuf[2] + R...

Ron, I think there is an error in the CPLCBUS.class in the PLCBUStoAddress function. 497 '~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 498 ' convert byte to homeunit 499 '~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 500 PRIVATE FUNCTION PLCBUStoAddress(bAddress AS Byte) AS St...

Ok, I understand ! Thanks for the explanations.

Thank you Digit ! indeed I noticed a kind of pattern but I did not go till the checksum. I did a check on all my records and as you indicate they all sum to 512 (Hex200). That's good News as you say ... it "only" has to be resolved by programming ;-) On point though ... I would have though...

Thanks digit. So really this topic is not a Domotiga issue, rather a PLCBUS issue.
What's the next step ? Do you know how to contact someone in PLCBUS to get answers ?

As a complement to my previous post, here are the references indicated on my interface (just in case they would have upgraded the firmware for whatever reason ...) :
PLCBUS II -T 1141G+

Ok, then ... here we go, using Automation@Home PLCBUS universal controler (Beta version 0.0.29) User code (Hex) = FA Send order "on" to B4 =>> the appliance is effectively going on and in the bottom right part of the soft window it says "House B Unit 4 : ON" / "ACK received&...

Just to continue investigations on the last bytes ... Here is what I get when I send an OFF order to my receivers : B01 > Off 2010/12/16 22:33:22 [PLCBUS] > 02 05 FA 10 23 00 00 03 2010/12/16 22:33:22 [PLCBUS] > 02 05 FA 10 23 00 00 03 2010/12/16 22:33:23 [PLCBUS] < 02 06 FA 10 23 00 00 1C AF Frame ...
