RaspberryMatic HMIPServer: Error Timeout but rfd: OK

Configuration
1

Hi everyone!

I have a fresh install of Home Assistant Supervised, but RaspberryMatic HMIPServer keeps getting an error and I don’t know why.

Hardware:
Raspberry PI 3 B+
HMIP-RFUSB

Configuration:

Linux homesrv 6.1.0-rpi6-rpi-v8 #1 SMP PREEMPT Debian 1:6.1.58-1+rpt2 (2023-10-27) aarch64 GNU/Linux

/boot/commandline.txt includes systemd.unified_cgroup_hierarchy=false apparmor=1 security=apparmor

Other installed addons:
Duck DNS: 1.15.0
File Editor: 5.7.0
Mosquitto broker: 6.4.0
Zigbee2mqtt: 1.18.1-1

configuration.yaml
I tried different options:

  • No homematic config
  • homematic config

I tried also without apparmor, I also tried with and without ModemManager

No luck. Any ideas?

@jens-maus maybe?

Well, that will be the first complication / issue. Home Assistant Supervised installation are always challenging, especially when it comes to hardware dependencies, which the RaspberryMatic HA Add-on requires since you are trying to use an external HomeMatic RF module. Thus, the warning in the documentation, see:

The second complication / problem you have is, that you still try to use the old and obsolete HomeMatic integration of HomeAssistant yourself rather than using HACS-based “homematicIP (Local)” integration which actully is state-of-the-art. See here:

@jens-maus thank you for the answer. As mentioned in the post, I also tried it without the config in configuration.yaml, as this is only later to get the devices in HA. However already the blank addon doesn’t start. It seems to detect the HMRF-USB, so I’m wondering what it could possibly be.

I’ve read the warning, but had raspberrymatic running on a supervisory installation from 2021 with raspberry pi os buster running, with no issues.
