i am trying to setup openhab with the velbus binding to an Velser, so i can also program my installation from my network through the same serial connection to velbus.
I read every possible forum, but can’t find the solution.
I am running everything on a RP3 with openhab installed through apt-get.
At this moment i have installed the testing release (also tried the snapshot release).
The velbusbinding 2.4.0.m4 is installed. But i have only the choice for serial connections.
Am I doing something wrong? Using the wrong version of the binding?
How can i configure the network bridge for this binding?
I am missing something but don’t know what.
Did you install Velserv on your PI ? I recently installed OH and Velserv and tried to document as much as possible the used steps. Hope following helps you getting Velserv up and running, this should give you the serial port in the Velbus binding.
Install Velserv & auto start Install Velserv
Install GCC on your PI by typing sudo apt-get install gcc in the prompt in PuTTY
Enter password if requested
Goto /opt (cd opt) in your PI and make a new folder velserv (mkdir velserv)
Got to this new folder (cd velserv) and create a new file by using nano (sudo nano velserv.c)
Would you be so kind as to mark the topic as solved ?

Hi
Just in case you ever need to rebuild your machine, or install VelServ onto a different machine, I’ve created a little script to automate the installation of VelServ.
It includes pulling the very latest version that Jerome creates.
