Linux script for controlling Opentherm Gateway

I'm trying to make a script to send commands (and read the output) with a bash script.
I've put the gateway in PS=1 mode, so that the debug messages are stopped.
But I don't get it to work.
Code: Select all
stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0 9600 -icrnl -echo clocal
exec 3<> /dev/ttyUSB0
echo 'PR=A' >&3
read -t 1 response <&3
echo "$response"
exec 3>&-
any suggestions?

The gateway wants to see a CR as the termination of a command. As far as I can tell you are only sending a LF. Try adding the option -onlret or -onlcr to the stty command. Alternatively, replace the third command with: echo -e 'PR=A\r' >&3
If you want to do anything more complex than this example, I would suggest to switch to a more advanced scripting language. My personal favorite is Tcl, for things like this perhaps in the form of expect.

Capturing data from the gateway works, but no luck with sending commands.
With minicom etc it works fine, but with echo it doesn't respond.
echo "PR=A" > /dev/ttyUSB0
echo "PR=A\n"> /dev/ttyUSB0
I've tried different setings with ssty. It should work with echo?
cat /dev/ttyUSB0 works fine..

Read my previous post again. I wrote: echo -e 'PR=A\r', not: echo "PR=A\n". The -e option and \r are significant. I haven't actually checked if it works, but it should.

Reading is difficult
I forget the -e option. Now it's working! Thanks

i'm trying todo the same but I can't write to the port:
root@raspberrypi:~# stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0 9600 -icrnl -echo clocal
root@raspberrypi:~# echo -e 'PR=A\r' > /dev/ttyUSB0
root@raspberrypi:~# ls -all /dev/ttyUSB0
crwxrwxrwx 1 root root 188, 0 Jan 29 22:34 /dev/ttyUSB0
Cat on that device is fine:
root@raspberrypi:~# cat /dev/ttyUSBot
BF0180000
T80000200
Error 03
T80000200
B40000200
T80190000
BC0192A00
T10010A00
Error 03

Are /dev/ttyUSB0 and /dev/ttyUSBot the same device?

I hooked up a Raspberry Pi to my Opentherm Gateway today and (after
struggling to get the USB->serial converter to work), it all works just as advertised:
- pi@raspberrypi ~ $ uname -a
Linux raspberrypi 3.2.27+ #250 PREEMPT Thu Oct 18 19:03:02 BST 2012 armv6l GNU/Linux
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ ls -l /dev/ttyUSB0
crw-rw---T 1 root dialout 188, 0 Feb 7 12:39 /dev/ttyUSB0
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0 9600 -icrnl -echo clocal
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ echo -e 'PR=A\r' > /dev/ttyUSB0
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ head -2 /dev/ttyUSB0
OpenTherm Gateway 4.0a4
SE
The SE appears to be caused by the newline sent by echo (although it should be ignored by the gateway). The way to get rid of that is by telling echo not to send a newline:
- pi@raspberrypi ~ $ echo -e 'PR=A\r\c' > /dev/ttyUSB0
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ head -2 /dev/ttyUSB0
OpenTherm Gateway 4.0a4

For the record, my initial suggestion to add the -onlret option to stty also works perfectly fine:
- pi@raspberrypi ~ $ stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0 9600 -icrnl -echo clocal -onlret
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ echo 'PR=A' > /dev/ttyUSB0
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ head -2 /dev/ttyUSB0
