I tried several ways, with brackets…, I also tried to activate MOBDUS TCP/RTU in the USR, that doesn’t work.
I changed the port, it doesn’t change anything
socket://192.168.150.162:5220
//192.168.150.162:5220
socket://192.168.150.162:5220

from my PC and the program, I can connect to the USR and see the hexadecimal values of JABLOTRON, since HA I can’t do it.
For the “socket” connection, you don’t need to add anything in a yaml file, or in python?
please help is welcome
Reading through this post I can share I have a Jablotron80 connected to a Raspberry Pi4.
It is an old style printer cable connected to a white box JA82T. From this box a phone wire goes into the OASIS machine.
This setup works on a windows machine with Olink installed.
Now on the Pi to get started with HA I thought… Connect it first to the Pi and see if it spits data. (because in the end it needs to work with ser2net as homeassistant machine is further away).
sudo cat /dev/hidraw0
However nothing happens. So before I continue I think this needs to be solved first in some way. What did I miss in setting this up successfully.
Dear community,
I have a Jablotron JA-80 and, i’m using Node-red installed on a QNAP server by docker.
Do you kwnow if it’s possible to connect this alarm with node-red ?
Thanks
Nodered direct or via HA entities?
Definitely possible using this integration via HA entities.
Direct for nodered i haven’t tried, but I’d expect it to be much more complex
Depends what sort of HA setup you have…… and since HA is dockerised, it depends on which context you are running this command in.
But bottom line you are correct, your command should spit out data and a similar one does on my setup which is a Rpi4 running Home Assistant supervisor.
But sudo command is not available on my setup.
Tnx. I am running the command directly on the host itself.
So HA is completely out of the picture.
For testing purposes I put my Jablotron 80 in service mode to see if it would generate messages. However no luck here.

It will generate messages constantly regardless of service mode or not, and what you are doing should work…… it’s exactly what I did when I developed the integration.
Actually I used hexdump command instead, though cat does work, just displays gibberish as it’s a binary feed.
mmm at the moment it displays nothing.
I Tried
Raspberry Pi4 and a Pi3b both aarch64 GNU/Linux
sudo cat /dev/hidraw0
sudo cat /dev/usb/hiddev0
Let me boot the windows machine to check if OLINK is still working… No clue what to try otherwise.
So I booted up the Windows Machine and started OLINK software. That works just fine. The item is recognized as a HID device.
Unfortunately I did not yet figure out how to read data from that port on a windows machine as putty seems to only support COM ports.
The HID seems similar to what the raspberry Pi is mentioning however from the CLI I seem to be unable to retrieve any data.
Although the sudo cat /dev/hidraw0 did not provide any visual info I did the following.
Install homeassistant (in docker) on the machine temporarily where the usb cable was plugged in. The official homeassistant machine is located further away from the USB cable but I wanted to make sure that it worked.

So made some slight progress.
Ok so the spare Homeassistant is able to connect via hidraw0.
Now let’s see if we can get this thing working remotely.
I assume this is the easiest way USR-TCP232-T2 ?
Would that mean get another ‘Printer Cable’ cut off the USB connector and solder the wires to the USR-TCP232-T2 or should something else ?
Before I buy something I tried the following
Jablotron is connected to a Server (raspberry pi 4) via the usb cable
Homeassistant is installed on the Client (raspberry pi 5).
Client and Server can reach each other over the LAN network.
With the help of:
https://derushadigital.com/other%20projects/2019/02/19/RPi-USBIP-ZWave.html
I was able to connect to the /dev/hidraw0 USB over the LAN via TCP. As I could not find the package linux-tools-generic
, I needed to modify the script on the Client a bit.
I installed on the client:
apt install usbip hwdata usbutils
And Modified the script to:
[Unit]
Description=usbip client
After=network.target
[Service]
Type=oneshot
RemainAfterExit=yes
ExecStart=/bin/sh -c "/usr/sbin/usbip attach -r CLIENTIP -b $(/usr/sbin/usbip list -r CLIENTIP | grep '16d6:0007' | cut -d: -f1)"
ExecStop=/bin/sh -c "/usr/sbin/usbip detach --port=$(/usr/sbin/usbip port | grep '<Port in Use>' | sed -E 's/^Port ([0-9][0-9]).*/\1/')"
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
And I was able to use the custom integration on a remote Homeassistant.

hi can u help me ? i just need f-link software plz
Hi!
I use the Jablotron integration:
this I do with a ‘home assistant Green’ device.
connected the usb calble, and it was easy to connect the system.
but the connection doest not seems to be stable:
the statusses comes a lot ‘unavailable’:
Section 2 changed to Disarmed
13:55:18 - Now
Section 2 became unavailable
13:55:18 - 1 second ago
Section 2 changed to Disarmed
13:54:45 - 33 seconds ago
Section 2 became unavailable
13:54:37 - 41 seconds ago
Section 2 changed to Disarmed
13:53:56 - 1 minute ago
Section 2 became unavailable
13:53:55 - 1 minute ago
can this be caused by an ‘old’ long (4m) usb calbe? or something else the reason I have this (I don’t have other usb calbes to test with at the moment)
edit: I tested it with an other usb cable, but still had the same behaviour.
