I’m trying to setup openHAB with MAX devices, but I don’t want to use the Cube for several reasons. I got the busware CC1101 usb stick, setup openHAB using openHABian (which is cool), and now I am stuck how to get things done.
First, I’ve installed the CUL_V3 firmware on the stick. I hope that was correct, as I wasn’t able to find an explanation of the several firmwares and their different purposes.
I added the MAX! CUL binding in openHAB and set the port to serial:/dev/tty/ACM0, but I don’t get a connection, so I guessed something was still missing.
Searching the net, I found some hints that the MAX! CUL binding may not work with openHAB 2. Other sources stated that Homegear is the way to go. So I installed Homegear (using openhabian-config), and setup homematicbidcos.conf as explained here, but I don’t understand how to test the connection, or if that is the right way at all.
To make a long story short, I would appreciate it if someone could point me to some up-to-date description how to get this to work. I’ve found an excellent Tutorial how to setup openHAB with the MAX Cube, and I would love to find a similar one how to to this without the Cube.
Any help strongly appreciated!
