EnOcean - Configure FUD61, how to get 'sender_id'

Configuration
12

Hi all

I figured it out and got it working.

Background info:

  • An actor only acts on telegrams coming from a switch the actor had been taught in to
  • if you have physical switchs, they all have different IDs, so no problem
  • The USB300 has a so-called Base ID. Without further config, this Base ID would be the one the actor is taught in with. And actually all actors, that’s why they would all react at the same time
  • However, the USB300 can also send telegrams with different Sender IDs. These “virtual” IDs are needed to distinguish the switches configured in HA
  • that sender ID can’t be an random number, it has to be the USB300’s Base ID plus a value between 1 and 126.
  • in order for only one specific actor to react to your HA switch, you need to teach in with that specific sender ID.

I do the teaching in with the USB300 connected to a PC and by using DolphinView.

Obtaining the sender ID:

  • connect the USB300 to your PC, start DolphinView, connect to USB300
  • watch out, in the dropdown it says “ID”. However, this is not the USB300 Base ID!
  • on the tab “Telegram Transmit” add operation “Send radio > 4BS telegram”
  • click on “Set ID > Base ID”. This sets the Base ID in the field ID.

Assigning an ID to your actor

  • Give your actor a number between 1 and 126, let’s say 1
  • Take the Base ID from above in hex format. convert to decimal, add 1, convert to hex (e.g. use Excel with formulas HEX2DEC and DEC2HEX)
  • This is the sender ID of the switch you will configure in HA

Teaching in

  • Continue from above (DolphinView, Tab “Telegram Transmit”)
    ** ID: The Sender ID from above
    ** Data: Teach in telegram (for my Eltako TF61D-230V this was E0400D80 according to the manual)
    ** Destination ID: Enocean ID of your actor
  • Put your actor in learning mode
  • Execute telegram in DolphinView
  • the actor should confirm the teach in

Configuring your actor in HA

I could only verify this with one actor. But when I changed the Sender ID in the HA config, the actor would not react any longer. So obviously this should word with multiple actors. Could anybody confirm this?

And if this is all correct, this could be added to some documentation. however, I don’t know where and how to do so…
