Hello @Marko_Kraft,
thank you and @opus for your work! I finally got the time trying this for myself.
I used Openhabian, too, so I cannot say anything about that “(Invalid device name ‘/dev/ttyUSB0’. Must be ‘DEVICETYPE:ADDRESS)”-Error.
To get it working, I needed to add the serial configuration to /etc/openhab2/services/culintertechno.cfg, like this:
It was hard work
Anyway…stuck in alexa and cul. I have created a group in the Amazon Alexa group which switches all lights on. After switching about 8 Intertechno devices (one after another) the culs red light is blinks rapidly. Green light is off. The cul hangs up. I have to restart the whole system then.
Manual switching always works fine.
That could be either he separate threads that try to use the CULat the same time ( because each send is run in a separate thread) or the build-in limit of messages per time in the CUL. More probably the first one.
A way to overcome is to look if the used switches do allow a ALL-OFF command (not all have that). Otherwise only a rule that switches one after the other with a sleep in between will help.
over the last week i started with openhab, mi goal is it to migrate mi old “system” from smartwares and Intertechno in to openhab and extand it.
i have the follow components:
i readed a lot in the community but i couldn’t bring it to work with the raspberry pi 3 and a busware cul 433MHz USB dongel. I configured the dongel how in this description:
The upper code i got from the Smartwares-System. If i now Switch “Wand” in de Basic UI the green LED of the CUL is making a short flasch but nothing happens (usualy the LED of the CUL is togeling from green to off, in a clock of 0.5s) the same is happening if i try to get the “Stern” (with the new code).
I would be very thankful for some advice.
What is the logfile output concerning the cul. YOU Can see it in the startup logfile of your openhabian. Otherwise look through my former postings. I described the nearly the same configuration and completly solved the Intertechno and Cul thing.
Your culintertechno.cfg is WRONG!
The syntax you copied is from OH1, which used a single config-file for all addons. OH2 has dedicated files for each addon, like your culintertechno.cfg.
Just remove the “culintertechno:” in each line!
I’m not terribly sure that the code for the first ligth would work!
I get it work now… i removed the “culintertechno” in the culintertechno.cfg:
device=serial:/dev/ttyACM0
baudrate=38400
parity=NONE
# How often should the command be repeated? (optional)
# See http://culfw.de/commandref.html for details
repetitions=6
# How long should one pulse be? (optional)
# See http://culfw.de/commandref.html for details
wavelength=420
and changed the configuration in the intertechno.items to:
You’re most welcome and real lucky to get it working.
Since I used a 866mhz CUL so far, I decided to switch to a 433 nanoCUL. This one comes on as ttyUSB0 and I can’t get that one to work with OH😣
Yeah, I recommend first checking that openhabian or your user loading OH is part of the dailout or TTY group.
I had the same issue recently on Ubuntu when programming my EPS8266 over FTDI (which will also show up at /dev/ttyUSBx).
Please tell me if you know it. Can i with with cul stick and this or maybe other binding recieve 433mhz signals? Only receive and accouring the rules make somethings in Openhab.
For example if i revieved signal from 433mhz remote button 1 then make something.
Or is it only with Intertechno compatible?
If you have any other idea how can i realize it, please tell it!
PS
Please do not offer Somoff RF Bridge, because even with tasmota it do not receive commenads from 90% new remotes.
As far as I can tell a CUL stick can receive only on the frequency it is build for (433 or 866mhz). Sending is possible for the 833 version on both frequencies. But that is all I can say about that.
