Installation and Configuration
For detailed usage see Getting Started.
Serial Commands
The following serial commands can be send to the bus adapter:
-
*debug
: Activate debug mode with more verbose output -
*normal
: Switch back to normal mode, with limited output
Receive bus events/commands
On each bus communication you will receive a JSON formatted string with the following fields:
-
action
: The action of the bus message like e.g.DOOR_OPEN
. For details please look into gdoor_data.cpp. -
type
: The hardware type of the message sender. For details please look into gdoor_data.cpp. -
source
: Bus address of message sender, 3 Bytes. -
destination
: Bus address of message destination, 3 Bytes. This field is not contained in each bus message in such cases it is set to 0. -
parameters
: Parameter values depend on action and bus structure. E.g. it can be the ID of which button was pressed, 2 Bytes. -
busdata
: Bus data as hex value. You can send this value back to the serial port to duplicate a bus message. -
event_id
: Counter value. It counts up for each new bus message.
If you switch on debug mode, you will also receive:
-
raw
: The raw counting values of each high/low bit. Array of bytes where each byte represents the number of pulses of a individual bit. -
valid
: 1 if checksum and parity bits passed the check.
Send bus events/commands
If you want to send to the bus, just send:
- Send hex values
- Each hex value needs to be 2 digit, in case of values < 0x1F, add a leading zero. E.g. 0x0F, 0x00, 0x02. Wrong would be: 0xF, 0x0, 0x2.
- Do not use 0x prefix.
- Do not separate the values with whitespace, tabs or commas
- Send the values in one go, e.g.: 02A300452F Do not pause the transmission in between characters!
Tip:
You can use the field
busdata
of a received bus message to duplicate this bus message back to the bus. E.g. Useful to easily open the door.
Tip:
If you use a terminal and want to do it by hand, use copy and paste to send in one go
Development
You will need PlatformIO. You can use the PlatformIO tutorial as a baseline.
