Need help with setting up some EnOcean devices

Configuration
1

Hi guys, my name is Sebastian.
I am new to this community and need some help with my smarthome. We bought this house from an IT-specialist and it has A LOT of smarthome features i am trying to figure out… (mainly KNX and EnOcean) Everything is connected to two PIs running homebridge and then implemented into Apple HomeKit. Works really well… The main reason for me to mess with this system is, that i am using Android and Windows devices and my wife uses IOS. So i set up yet another Pi running Homeassistant which is then connected to my android. So far this works great and i am able to controll some KNX devices from all sides (Android, Homeassistant and IOS). I am not willing to mess up the existing system (Homebridges) as of yet, scince i am afraight i might end up with a big mess :wink:

Right now i am trying to set up the EnOcean devices but so far i had no success. Here is the hardware-setup as far as i know:

We have lights and blinds in every room connected to the eltako fsr14-4x. These are then connected to the FAM 14 which got an antenna mounted somewhere behind the walls (in the centre of the building). The switches in the rooms are PTM215 DB. The Eltako devices are connectet to the homebridge-PIs via an USB-Gateway.

My plan:
I bought the EnOcean USB-300 controller which i hooked up to my HA-Pi. The plan is to be able to send EnOcean-Actions from Homeassistant to this USB-300 which then sends the actions to the FAM 14 antenna. Scince the Homebridges are still connected to the IOS-devices, it should all sync up.

First question is: How do i setup the EnOcean Hub correctly? As far as i know i first need to type in the port of the USB-300 controller. But i have no clue how i can find this out.

Then i need the device_ID which i am not able to find either.

Thank you so much in advance!
Sebastian

What OS are you on?

4

On which device?

HA is running on a PI and i have a Windows PC and Mac available

5

What’s the os on the pi that the usb device is connected to.

6

I forgot to mention that i am a total noob :wink:

I just followed the „getting started „ Tutorial on the HA mainpage. So i guess its rasbian OS?!

7

maybe i found something, am i right? Is this the correct port for the USB 300?

I’d be willing to bet that whole string works. FYI your os is HassOS. You’re running Hassio on HassOS.

9

Allright then, my config looks like shown below now.
Now i am searching for the correct device IDs. Where exactly do i find them? I looked behind the switches and in the PCT14-Project the pre-owner of the house sent me. I tried different numbers but none of them look like the example in the HA EnOcean manual:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
binary_sensor:
  - platform: enocean
    id: [0x01,0x90,0x84,0x3C]

I tried different numbers i found but i always get this error:

Fri Jan 10 2020 18:37:40 GMT+0100 (Mitteleuropäische Normalzeit)

Invalid config for [binary_sensor.enocean]: expected int @ data['id'][0]. Got 'AB' expected int @ data['id'][1]. Got 'BA'. (See ?, line ?). Please check the docs at https://home-assistant.io/integrations/enocean/

you need to use the byte values for the id’s on the binary sensor. Simply add 0x before each of those values.

binary_sensor:
  - platform: enocean
    id: [0xAB,0xBA,0x02,0x13]

Or if you know how to convert hex to decimal…

binary_sensor:
  - platform: enocean
    id: [171, 186, 2, 19]
11

I think we are almost there :wink:
Now i dont have any errors anymore.
The device appears as entity but i cannot switch it on or off. Maybe this is because i configured it as a “binary sensor”? I don´t understand this because the EnOcean documentation under “binary sensor” lists the PTM215 module. All our wall switches are in fact PTM 215s.

12

Not sure, I don’t have these devices. But if it’s a switch, try and configure as a switch

13

I think we might be almost there :wink:

The USB 300 has a little LED. When i press one of the wall-switches, this LED flashes 2 times (on press and release).

I configured one device as switch (see config.yaml near the bottom). When i press the switch in HA the little LED flashes, too. This means it is doing something, right? Unfortunately no lights turn on.

I read something about setting um the switches as an automation, as suggested in the HA enocean manual here: Can't use ttyUSB0 device on Hass.io (with Enocean USB300)

But i am not sure how to set it up correctly. Can someone check my config? Thank you so much!

Is that issue solved (as its quite a while since someone replied)?
I’m just curious as I probably face the same issues soon.

15

Hello I am also interested by your result. Indeed I try to trigger with HA some fsb61np actuators (for roller shutter) controled by a soft remote control nodon. But I don’t know how to proceed :thinking::confused::cry:

16

Hello Christian,

where exactly are you stuck? Did you find out the device IDs for the remote and the actuator?
If you have a linux machine available, you can plug in your Enocean Stick and read the device ID this way too, no need to pry open the cases of those devices then.

EDIT: Also you can set the debug level of the enocean component to debug and look at the IDs in the log

17

Hello fedot,
Thank you for your time.
Today I have succeeded to find device IDs of my remote control and actuator.
I understand that, for my project (control roller shutter with HA) that the most important is to communicate with the actuators of the cover.
As I also understood that these actuators are not supported by Enocean of HA, so I try now to use MQTT between FHEM (which is able to control the actuators) and HA.

I have define MQTT mosquito broker in HA. Now, I understand that I need to define a MQTT in FHEM but I don’t know how :frowning:
Then I will have to launch a ‘’‘mosquitto_pub - h 192.168.1.4 - t /…/set - m “closes”’ ‘’’ for a test. but I don’t know exactly what I need to write for this test :frowning:

PS just to understand fedot : I have just added enocean directly on configuration.yaml so I don’t how to check if my remote control is detected with a debug mode. Do I miss something? I Don’t understand how to have debug mode?

18

Hey Christian,

enabling debug mode will allow you to read the actual Enocean radio traffic (containing device IDs for example), so you don’t have to open up remotes and such where the IDs are inside of the device.
Seems like you’ve already got this step done, but if you want to double-check:

Add this to your configuration.yaml:

logger:
  default: error

Go to the Developer Tools -> Services
Select service logger.set_level with data:

homeassistant.components.enocean: debug

Now, press the buttons you want to press on your remotes and they will show up (Developer Tools -> Logs -> Show Full Home Assistant Log -> Scroll to the very bottom)

The messages will look sth. like this:

2020-06-01 11:36:45 DEBUG (Thread-4) [homeassistant.components.enocean] Received radio packet: AA:AA:AA:AA->FF:FF:FF:FF (-58 dBm): 0x01 ['0xbb', 0x'bb', '0xcc', '0xcc', '0xcc', '0xcc', '0xdd'] ['0x0', '0xff', '0xff', '0xff', '0xff', '0x3a', '0x0'] OrderedDict()

I’ve replaced my device’s ID in the upper example - however you should get the idea. The actual device ID is only the part I’ve replaced with 0xcc!

I don’t have any enocean relays or actuators, but if I read the manual right, it seems like you might have to learn the remote (being the enocean USB key) to the device if you can’t trigger it with just the ID set as a switch (like in the docs: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/enocean/#switch)
Speaking of which - looking at the config example you’ve provided - maybe you can try out multiple channels since you didn’t specify any?

Anyway, can you set the actuator to learning mode and flip the switch you’ve set in HA a few times? Maybe that will do it.
IMHO - enocean is pretty cool for remotes and sensors since they usually don’t need a battery, but I’ve read a lot about the problems when trying to use relays, so you might want to look into different wireless technologies.

As far as FHEM is concerned, maybe you won’t need to fiddle around with MQTT if you don’t need to - isn’t there a REST API?
And, speaking of FHEM, how does the configuration of your actuator look in there?

Hello Fedot, thank you for your answers which could help me !

  1. By using logger: default: error..., something strange happens : you will see in my log reports below that @15:37 its seems to run, but @17:25 I have many errors. :frowning:

I don’t know what is wrong in my configuration (I have not made any enocean installation, I have just added the following lines)

enocean:
  device: /dev/ttyS0

switch:
  - platform: enocean
    id: [0x00,0x2b,0x42,0x2b]

I know that my GPIO port is good (I have an HEXDUMP sender_ID answer 002b422b). Do I need to make other things ?

  1. I think the configuration you have seen is Beasty’s configuration :slight_smile:
  2. Your idea to make Eltako FSB61 learn (LRN…) my switch defined in HA is a good idea. I want to try this… as soon as I will have solved the issue above :frowning:
  3. A simple web search on rest-API FHEM shows me that exists (https://github.com/matgoebl/FhAPI); but I Don’t know at all what is it ? and how to use it ? could you explain me please ?
  4. In the enclosed snapshot and the Following lines, you will find the actuator caracteristic and FHEM configuration

Hey Christian,

  1. can you add channel: 0 below the switches id? If that doesn’t work - try increasing the number a few times
    Also… you’re not using FHEM and HA on the same machine, are you? Seems like they both try to access the same module - which they can’t
  2. Oh sorry, seems like I’ve mixed the configs up. :crazy_face:
  3. Yeah, maybe that will do it, although this might do it for you as well: EnOcean : switch doesn't control the device but changes when you manually change th state · Issue #33025 · home-assistant/core · GitHub although you’re not using a USB key, are you?
    Looks like there is a user working on integrating Enocean better, will probably take some time though.
  4. If I read the repo right:

You don’t need this module, if it is sufficient for you to execute plain fhem commands via HTTP:
http://yourserver/fhem?cmd=set+Light+on

Seems like it should be pretty easy once you’ve figured out the URLs to use the switch, you can add it as a REST API switch in Home Assistant: RESTful Switch - Home Assistant

  1. Seems like FHEM can do the learning part while HA can’t.

I guess that gets me to the conclusion that you should probably use FHEM for all the Enocean stuff. I haven’t used it, but you can probably make some RESTful switches in HA to control your switches as well as some automations to report the states back from FHEM to HA.
If you don’t want to deal with all of that and are using FHEM just for Enocean, well, you could get different switches, if you didn’t invest heavily into your current setup. (WiFi/MQTT with Tasmota maybe? Or if you’ve got the hardware, Homematic? There are a lot of solutions)
