Since I had also a Raspberry Pi 3B available I just did a complete new installed based on the latest HassOS image. When I connected the HGI80 again it wasn’t detected and I see the logging below when I enter dmesg | grep usb:

I have got a cc1101, but can i use the firmware on a nodemcu or do i need an arduino nano?

Evsdd · February 17, 2020, 7:19pm

Unfortunately no. I’ve not seen any Evohome compatible firmwares designed for nodemcu.

hsluis · February 18, 2020, 7:29pm

Hi David,
Did you have time to test HassOS and the HGI 80?

zxdavb · February 19, 2020, 7:23am

@hsluis I have the same issue - same error message in dmesg - so can’t get the HGI80 working, although I can get a FTDI/arduino-equivalent working fine.

I see @dariusz has it working fine,although his system uses proxmox - I’m not positioned to make any conclusions from that.

@dariusz Could you execute this command from the HassOS shell and give us teh result:

ls /lib/firmware

zxdavb · February 19, 2020, 7:44pm

OK, the official answer is that a change needs to be made to HassOS.

The problem is that, although this device is supported by HassOS, there is no means for the firmware to be stored within the HassOS image, and the device wont work without it.

you can make a PR [that] allow[s] custom firmware on boot partition (/mnt/boot/firmware) and you can copy it there the root file system is RO
GitHub - home-assistant/operating-system: 🔰 Home Assistant Operating System

The subtext from the dev is that he is too busy to take on this edge-case (I have a lot of sympathy for him in this regard)

I believe @dariusz’s system is working because the Proxmox hypervisor is uploading the firmware to the HGI80, before it is handed over (as a USB device) to the VM containing HassOS - obviously, there is no hypervisor with the Pi.

This isn’t my area of expertise, you’d need to know (inter alia) buildroot to create your own image with the firmware in it.

The firmware, ti_3410.fw, would be available from linux-firmware.

Short-term solution would be use use HA-core on linux, or HassOS on Proxmox (other hypervisors may work), or nanoCUL instead of HGI80 (some limitations either way)…

zxdavb · February 28, 2020, 4:54pm

If anyone is using a nanoCUL, I can strongly recommend using this firmware… It cannot send packets (this is currently not a big issue), but has many fewer decoding errors per unit time!

zxdavb · February 28, 2020, 5:11pm

@Captain the above applies to you - could you upgrade your firmware and give me a few day’s worth of packets to test the latest parsers with.

A lot has been done over the last few weeks, so an upgrade will be coming soon - looking to go HA official in time for next Winter!

Captain · February 28, 2020, 5:45pm

Would love to, but I cannot figure out how to compile the firmware. On evofw2 it just had a Makefile.

zxdavb · February 29, 2020, 11:33am

The easiest way is to use the Arduino IDE - that’s what all the devs of evofw are doing.

On menu: Sketch -> Upload

Before that, set Tools -> Board = “Arduino Nano”, and Tools -> Processor = “ATmega328P (Old Bootloader)”

Captain · February 29, 2020, 3:34pm

Thanks, managed to do it with arduino-cli though, since I don’t have easy access to the machine running the nanocul.

For reference, the commands i used are:

arduino-cli core install arduino:avr
arduino-cli compile -b arduino:avr:nano:cpu=atmega328
avrdude -v -patmega328p -carduino -P/dev/ttyUSB1 -b57600 -Uflash:w:"evofw3.arduino.avr.nano.hex":i

zxdavb · February 29, 2020, 3:47pm

Well done, I’d be pleased to hear how many fewer bad packets you get!

dariusz · March 3, 2020, 9:56am

I think this is not working:

# ls /lib/firmware
ls: /lib/firmware: No such file or directory

zxdavb · March 3, 2020, 11:00am

Thanks @dariusz: That’s as expected - Proxmox is loading the firmware onto the HGI80, so HassOS doesn’t have to.

Also (for everyone else), the latest version of the client library (but not yet the corresponding HA integration) now includes OpenTherm!

scstraus · March 30, 2020, 12:22pm

Has there been any new developments on this component since I sent you the dump from this one? I’d be happy to test the new one.

zxdavb · March 30, 2020, 3:43pm

There has been a lot - I just need the time to post a new custom_component!

support for opentherm messages
more messages decoded - more sensors for HA
support for error logs
support for schedules
better device discovery

Unfortunately, a busy time of year for me now, so expect something before next winter (i.e. full HA support), maybe even to go cloud-free!

scstraus · March 30, 2020, 10:17pm

Great to hear! Testers standing by when you need them!

zxdavb · April 8, 2020, 12:34pm

Hi, can anyone provide me with the output of this command:

cat packets.log | grep 2020-03-29T00 -A50 | tail -n 100

(I should warn people that if they have no idea of what I’m talking about, then the answer is a likely no)

scstraus · April 8, 2020, 10:54pm

Here you go sir:
