OpenHAB1/2 Nilan heatpump

I agree.
The datasheet [page 2-3] hasn’t changed since then. I’d check where the wires blue and yellow wire’s (next to the USB plug) are going to.
I guess that they just connected it on the CTS602 board and left it open on the other side.
If that’s the case, check the 12V on the same screw terminal. If that’s ok too I’d give it a go connecting it.

If that’s not the case you can do two things (as the RS485 port is an official one): Call your installing electrician for datasheets or ask at Nilan headquarters.

Got it all wired up now. Trying to setup the connection using nickma´s config file only changig the host IP. But end up with connection and refuse error. Now what?

Kim_Andersen · February 9, 2018, 12:05am

Changed to use serial insted. Got a new problem. Seems like something hangs or something… baud rate is wrong. But according to my cfg, it´s set to 19200.
Will follow up tomorrow.

Hi Kim,
you bought an USB->RS485 dongle right? If true you can NOT connect to that device via TCP/IP, you have to use the serial version!
I would recommend you give my bringup (via python). Ultimatelly you probably need a config like this.

Nick

Kim_Andersen · February 9, 2018, 9:50am

Hi NickMa.

Yeah, I bought the InCircut RS485 dongle. (simular to the one you have with the four dip-switches)
I figured out that it couldnt do the TPC/IP connection, så I changed the config to using serial insted. But that just gave me a new, another error.

I have no idea how to execute this .py script you referering to. I´m relative new to Rpi, Linux and OpenHab2. Infact I´m not even sure if the Rpi is plug&play ready regarding the RS485 dongle, and have no idea how to test it.
I just, wired the Nilan to the dongle according to the explanation, pluged in the dongle, installed the binding, and then trying to set it up ind the modbus.cfg with a few test items in the nilan.items file.

My modbud.cfg looks like this:

serial.nilan.connection=/dev/ttyUSB0:19200:8:even:1:rtu
serial.nilan.id=30
serial.nilan.start=200
serial.nilan.length=16
serial.nilan.type=input
serial.pollinterval=2000

serial.nilan.valuetype=int16

# write out nilan connection
writemultipleregisters=true
serial.nilan2.connection=/dev/ttyUSB0:19200:8:even:1:rtu
serial.nilan2.id=30
serial.nilan2.start=1001
serial.nilan2.length=4
serial.nilan2.type=holding

And this is my nilan.items

Number nilan_t0		"temporary variable will be processed in .rules file" 		<temperature> (heat_nilan)		{modbus="nilan:0"}
Number nilan_t1		"temporary variable will be processed in .rules file" 		<temperature> (heat_nilan)		{modbus="nilan:1"}
Number nilan_t2		"t2_tmp variable [%2.2f °C]" 		<temperature> (heat_nilan)		{modbus="nilan:2"}
Number nilan_t3		"temporary variable will be processed in .rules file" 		<temperature> (heat_nilan)		{modbus="nilan:3"}
Number nilan_t4		"temporary variable will be processed in .rules file" 		<temperature> (heat_nilan)		{modbus="nilan:4"}
Number nilan_t5		"temporary variable will be processed in .rules file" 		<temperature> (heat_nilan)		{modbus="nilan:5"}
Number nilan_t6		"temporary variable will be processed in .rules file[%2.2f °C]" 		<temperature> (heat_nilan)	{modbus="nilan:6"}
Number nilan_t7		"temporary variable will be processed in .rules file" 		<temperature> (heat_nilan)		{modbus="nilan:7"}
Number nilan_t8		"temporary variable will be processed in .rules file" 		<temperature> (heat_nilan)		{modbus="nilan:8"}
Number nilan_t9		"temporary variable will be processed in .rules file" 		<temperature> (heat_nilan)		{modbus="nilan:9"}
Number nilan_t10	"temporary variable will be processed in .rules file" 		<temperature> (heat_nilan)		{modbus="nilan:10"}
Number nilan_t11	"temporary variable will be processed in .rules file" 		<temperature> (heat_nilan)		{modbus="nilan:11"}
Number nilan_t12	"temporary variable will be processed in .rules file[%2.2f °C]" 		<temperature> (heat_nilan)	{modbus="nilan:12"}
Number nilan_t13	"temporary variable will be processed in .rules file" 		<temperature> (heat_nilan)		{modbus="nilan:13"}
Number nilan_t14	"temporary variable will be processed in .rules file" 		<temperature> (heat_nilan)		{modbus="nilan:14"}
Number nilan_t15	"temporary variable will be processed in .rules file" 		<temperature> (heat_nilan)		{modbus="nilan:15"}

Both examples have been copied from https://github.com/openhab/openhab1-addons/wiki/Samples-Binding-Config#serial-modbus-nilan-heatpump-configuration

nickma82 · February 9, 2018, 11:14am

Check the dongle - open a terminal and execute the following four commands

sudo dmesg | grep ttyUSB

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nickma82/nilan_communication_bringup/master/src/nilan.py
chmod u+x ./nilan.py
./nilan.py

post all output here

Kim_Andersen · February 9, 2018, 11:58am

Ahh that simple…
Thx NickMa… Will give it a try as soon as I get home this evening.

Kim_Andersen · February 9, 2018, 2:18pm

What I´m trying to achieve isn´t quite rocketscience Or at least, I think it isn´t

Looks very good, your USB dongle is attachted to /dev/ttyUSB0

That was correct too, you are just missing the module minimalmodbus. Install it and run nilan.py again…

sudo apt-get -y install python-pip
sudo pip install pyserial minimalmodbus
./nilan.py

You should see something like that

Never saw that before, quick lookup; Just following them doing:

sudo apt-get remove python-pip
sudo easy_install pip

# and then once again
sudo pip install pyserial minimalmodbus
./nilan.py

Kim_Andersen · February 10, 2018, 10:57am

Yes, that seem to do the trick…

Now I would suspect getting some readings from the Nilan? But it doesnt seem like it does. Will try an reboot first,

Your USB dongle plus the connection is good, would be nice if you shared you wiring …

That doesn’t mean, that there is an error with the serial connection too.

openhab-cli console
#default password is habopen

# inside the openhab CLI (command line interface)
items list | grep nilan

# Strg+D to quit

Concerning your config:
Have you changed each and every entry in /etc/openhab2/services/modbus.cfg?
Please also take a look in the userdata directory /var/lib/openhab2/config/org/openhab/modbus.config

Kim_Andersen · February 10, 2018, 12:51pm

Here are pictures of the wireing.

Picture is the InCircut USB RS485 dongle.
PINs from left to right: (Should be simular to the same in your InCircut dongle I found in your links).
PIN 1. (GND) - Blue
PIN 2 (A1) - Yellow
PIN 3 (B1) - Brown
Picture is the interface located on the outside (right side) of the Nilan Comfort 300LR (notic there are two cables. The lower is for the User Panel). Previous I´d supply a picture of the inside of the CTS 602 controller, noticing that all pins have been wired.

PIN 2 (A1) - Yellow

I suspect this is the cached version. And I notice this is NOT simular til my modbus.cfg inside /openhab2/services/

serial.nilan.connection=/dev/ttyUSB0:19200:8:even:1:rtu
serial.nilan.id=30
serial.nilan.start=200
serial.nilan.length=16
serial.nilan.type=input
serial.pollinterval=2000

serial.nilan.valuetype=int16

# write out nilan connection
writemultipleregisters=true
serial.nilan2.connection=/dev/ttyUSB0:19200:8:even:1:rtu

This only works from within the openhab-cli console (you forgot a command) (aka the console)

pi@raspberrypiOpenHab ~/openhab2_conf/items % openhab-cli console

Hit '<tab>' for a list of available commands
and '[cmd] --help' for help on a specific command.
Hit '<ctrl-d>' or type 'system:shutdown' or 'logout' to shutdown openHAB.

openhab> items list | grep -i nilan
Nilan_Control_VentSet (Type=NumberItem, State=1, Label=User ventilation step select, Category=fan_ceiling, Groups=[gNilan])
[ ... a lot of items ... ]

Exit with Strg+D.

delete every line starting with tcp.nilan.

I think (60% sure) that it’s the user to openhab understandable transformed version. So yes, quasi cached.

I have a question for that - this is direcly connected to the CTS602 board with the cable at the upper left of your picture from above?

I´m using openhabian. For some reason, which I have not been able to understand, there is a difference using openhab or openhabian.
To enter the consol in openhabian, I use Putty and SSH and enter using openhabian username and its password.
The doc for openhab is not very specific regarding the openhabian/openhab user. Both are there, but i´m not able to login using openhab:habopen…So I have no idea how to

items list | grep nilan

This kind of linux stuff is really killing me

I have deleted all tcp.nilan in the /var/lib/openhab2/config/org/openhab/modbus.config
It didn´t really changed anything, except I guess I´m rid of the errors when rebooting the Rpi due to this change.
