Hi,
Would it be possible to add support for the Velbus Home Automation system in Home Assistant?
The protocol sheets are available on their site and integration in your product would surely mean a great addition for myself and other users.
Thank you,
Tom
I am also curious if it would be possible to get Home Assistant to work with Velbus.
I found some information on sending data to the Velbus (a CAN-Bus like implementation) via JAVA, but while I am skilled enough to do everything I need to with Home Assistant, I have no clue how to translate the Java stuff to something usable in Home Assistant…
There is a download of the Library (Jvelbus) here and on the same page under “Wiki” there is some basic info…
Perhaps it is easy to “port” this stuff,…
I’ve created a python-velbus library a while ago https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-velbus/1.0 and would be interested in integrating velbus in home assistant. Care to collaborate?
I have no Velbus system of my own, one of my friends has it installed though.
I was reading this and I thought that it could make integrating your previous work with Home Assistant easier.
I have no idea if it would be feasible, but perhaps it would be possible to add MQTT, it would allow Home Assistant, and with that also many others to read/interact with Velbus.
In the mean time, Velbus support is integrated in latest version ;-).
Hello Thomas, I am experiencing an issue with component Velbus during inital installation of Home Assistant. I followed the instructions on page https://home-assistant.io/components/velbus/ and updated the configuration.yaml file accordingly. Hassio returns following error after reboot:
2017-08-27 16:25:48 ERROR (SyncWorker_7) [velbus] Could not open serial port, no messages are read or written to the bus
2017-08-27 16:25:48 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.setup] Error during setup of component velbus
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/serial/serialposix.py”, line 244, in op en
self.fd = os.open(self.portstr, os.O_RDWR | os.O_NOCTTY | os.O_NONBLOCK)
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/dev/ttyUSB00
Are you sure the device is called /dev/ttyUSB00 ??? Shouldn’t it be /dev/ttyACM00 ???
What will happen once this is fixed? Will the Hassio automatically detect all devices on the velbus? Or do I have to configure all of it manually?
I am running velbus components since 2008. Most of them are the older modules (first generation) such as VMB4RY, VMB4PD, VMB1BL, VMB2BL, VMB6IN, VMB8PB and a few more recent ones such as VMBGP4PIRW, VMBDME, VMB4RYNO.
Thank you,
GiGi
Hello Thomas, I have the module VMB1USB in my velbus topology at home. When changing the configuration.yaml with the following (see last lines here below):
tts:
group: !include groups.yaml
automation: !include automations.yaml
script: !include scripts.yaml
velbus:
port: ‘/dev/ttyACM0’

I did a reboot and still get the error. Here is the export of the command dmesg

Hah, I didn’t notice, and I had not had my coffee yet. Thx for the reply. Passing it on to my friend to give it a try!
Hello, do you or Thomas have any update? Regards, Geert
Wow. Just wow Thomas!
Thanks for your hard work. I’ve just made the switch back to Home Assistant all thanks to your effort.
Finally I can use my Velbus modules which make up an important part of my automated home.
Lights seem to work perfectly, but I’m having some trouble with other modules/functions.
My blinds (VMB2BLE/VMB1BL) don’t seem to work, I’ve tried multiple options (switch, binary_sensor and cover). However for the cover I cannot find the corresponding information page (seems like the link is incorrect) so perhaps I just did not use it correctly.
I certainly want to help you however I can if you like to further develop this. Seems to me there is still a lot of potential. I’ll look into your code and see if I can grasp it, but I’m not as fluent as I would like to be.
In any case. Thanks for all the stuff you already made happen and hopefully we can’t improve it further in this community.
Kind regards,
Tom
Hi gents, are dimmers supported?
Does anyone have this up and running? Can’t get it to work. When I use a light switch. It seems it doesnt read the state
Hi Geert,
My lights on relays VMB4RYNO and VMB4RYLD work as expected.
I don’t have any dimmers so can’t help you there.
Tom
Would there we someone able to integrate Velbus at the fullest?
With the latest release of python velbus we added support for some new message formats.
I have some dev code ready that support temperature sensors, and the counters (vmb7in) as a sensor in HA.
The next step will be to implement shutters and dimmers.
With the new version we can also connect to velbus over a socket connection, this makes it possible to connect HA and velbuslink or other tools to the same velbus install.
Cool. I am willing to test if needed. What would be cool is to have thermostat support available.
currently I use a velserv ip to usb gateway.
Geert here i also use the velserv.
What exact module do you want to see implented?
I’m currently working on the vmbgpod modules.
cool. I have the glass panels . OLED 4 switch. The single panel. VMBDMI and the relays. The PIR sensor is also available but I don’t think much integration is needed on that device.
Hi all,
Can anyone tell me how to configure velbus in hassio 0.77.3?
The Velbus component as previously defined (https://www.home-assistant.io/components/velbus/), doesn’t work anymore.
I just have the following line:
velbus:
port: ‘/dev/ttyACM0’
I read in earlier release notes that just the component should be added, after which the modules would be discovered.
I could revert back to 0.69, but I would very much like to make use of the latest integrations (PIR, temperature).
Can anyone please show me what I’m missing here? The documentation of the component doesn’t seem to be valid anymore.
TIA
There is very poor support for velbus. Dont bother. Check openhab is you need velbus. I have been trying to get support for velbus but no one seem te be interested
