Homematic OCCU and/or Homegear addon?

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.

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

Hi @jps64, had the same issues when tried to integrate my Homematic stuff. Try to change resolvenames to json, this did the job for me.

Well, I dropped this approach. I’m now using the HM-MOD-RPI-PCB on a RPi3.
It took me quite a while to find out that an extra tool like the Homematic-manager is required to add my devices to the HA system.
This would have been probably also the solution for my initial problem.
Best Regards
