Successfully installed Hass on RPI3, now my HmIP-RFUSB doesn't start

Third party integrations
1

Hello,
first of all, I’m quite new to this and was suzper surprised when I started my RPI with hassos yesterday and hassio configured by itself!
I decided to use a homematic radiator controller as a start and inspired by the following tweet I ordered my own HmIP-RFUSB: https://twitter.com/pvizeli/status/1056675435508043776 (:tada: HomeMatic IP support on our hass.io add-on is available. Plugin the HmIP-RFUSB and install our add-on and run the local HmIP devices without cloud.)

So, I plugged it in, installed the addon and then - nothing happened. I figured out that I neet to change the default config and disabled using rf and enabled hmip (I guess this makes sense).

Here is the config:

{
“rf_enable”: false,
“rf”: [
{
“type”: “CCU2”,
“device”: “/dev/ttyAMA0”,
“reset”: false
}
],
“wired_enable”: false,
“wired”: [
{
“serial”: “xy”,
“key”: “abc”,
“ip”: “192.168.0.0”
}
],
“hmip_enable”: true,
“hmip”: [
{
“type”: “HMIP_CCU2”,
“device”: “/dev/ttyUSB0”
}
]
}

After starting the add-on still nothing worked and I see the following error:

Unfortunately I invested a lot of googeling and reading this forum buit I did not understand which step I am missing to make it work.

The documentation says “Set up a HomeMatic hardware layer.” - is this an additional step? What do I need to do here?

Would be great to reading from you! :slight_smile:

I update the documentation a bit:
https://www.home-assistant.io/addons/homematic/

So you need only setup the home assistant configuration and you are fine. The output looks good and you can work with it :+1:

For learning and handling devices use Homematic-Manager > 2.0.

It works!!! Thanks!

One comment: I changed the port for hmip to 2010

After my last post I directly created a snapshot to save the working state. Unfortunately it run only for one week and I got new problems. Also the snapshot doesn’t resolve the problem :frowning:

What happened during this week? I only installed software-updates for both HASS and the Addon. There were no changes in the config done by me.

I tried to troubleshoot some stuff, but nothing happened, so I completeley reinstalled my Raspberry Pi today, though Homematic still doesn’t want to work :frowning:

How does the problem look like?

  1. The thermostat doesn’t find the adapter.
  2. When opening the HASS UI the home screen shows the following error:
    59
    59802×298 18.7 KB
  3. Dev-Info page gives following error log:
Error during setup of component homematic
Traceback (most recent call last):

    'ip': socket.gethostbyname(rconfig.get(CONF_HOST)),
socket.gaierror: [Errno -2] Name does not resolve
  1. I can’t get Homematic Addon to start… When I click on start, it seems to start, but when reloading the page, it shows status “not running”. I didn’t change any of my configuration which I showed in the first post, and now the log looks like this:

I really have no idea what to do now… @pvizeli you?

Hi,

@schneeschipp any updates? I connected my HmIP-RFUSB following the updated instructions of @pvizeli. I also managed to learn my HmIP-eTRV-B1 using Homematic Manager but the valve does not appear in Home Assistant :confused:.

Instead, the log of the OCCU plugin contains the following exception:

Im running HA 0.83.3 on HassOS 1.13. Any ideas?

Hi there,

for me it’s the same Problem as with @jaqPi but my log looks a bit different. HmIP-RFUSB with Home Assistant 0.83.2 on HassOS 1.13 (maybe I’ll update to .3 within the next days to see if something changes).

@jaqPi, @semaphor,
I never saw these errors, only the ones I posted earlier.
In my case I made every available update und hoped for resolution. Until last Sunday there was none and I sold my HmIP-USB-Stick and changed from HA to the HomeMatic Zentrale. Since then it works without any problem.

Good news! Since I upgraded to Hass 0.84.X and HomeMatic OCCU 8.0, I am able to pair the HmIP-eTRV-B1 with Home Assisant / the USB stick.

Unfortunately, sometimes the thermostat loses its connection. I haven’t been able to figure out, why this happens or what makes the thermostat lose its connection…

For the record: after using an external power supply for my Sonoff bridge instead of powering both the Sonoff and the HmIP-RFUSB directly with the rpi, it works like a charm for the last weeks :slight_smile:
