Hi out there! I’m new to this forum, looking for help and happy to help others on my way to an automated home with Hass.io.
I’m running fhem on a NAS for several years with mostly homematic devices and access through a HM-CFG-LAN adapter.
For a few reasons I want to transition to HA, specifically Hass.io with its docker concept - running on a separate RPi3.
To further use the HM-CFG_LAN and to get the Homematic devices into Hass.io I chose Homegear from @yeah at https://github.com/yeah/hassio-addons. On my first attempts the addon builds on my RPi3, but failed to start. Homegear seems to look for any serial dev by default. Once you create an empty folder “homegear” in /config (with Samba), Homegear copies its default files into it and starts (since I tried several things, this is a best guess).
From there I edited /config/homegear/families/homematicbidcos.conf for HM-CFG-LAN and restarted the Homegear addon. The Homegear log looks ok (to me):
03/31/18 17:01:36.605 UPnP Server: Info: Started listening.
03/31/18 17:01:36.706 Module HomeMatic BidCoS: LAN-Konfigurationsadapter "TONI-HMCFGLAN": Info: Initialization completed.

Now I’m stuck. Are Homematic OCCU and Homegear alternative addons? - or do I need to connect Homematic OCCU to Homegear somehow?
The configuration.yaml contains:
homematic:
local_ip: 192.168.178.40
local_port: 36845
interfaces:
wireless:
host: 192.168.178.40
port: 2001
callback_ip: 192.168.178.40
callback_port: 36845
resolvenames: metadata
No errors in the system log, but no changes on the web UI. Where to look for
my homematic devices?
Hope someone can help.
Thanks
Joachim
