Do you have an authentication password set on the signum?

429

Hm…i don’t know.
This is the system of a friend of mine. He asked to start him up in home assistant and link his signum system…so i’m not really know whats all done by him…
How can i see if he has done that, and if so does it needs to be removed, or do i need to connect in another way?

430

thats in the GUI of the signum

431

ok…thnx i will ask him…
If he has done that do i need to use a different connection?

432

then you need to use:

tls://password@host:27015

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if there was any progress with the following integrations… I’m hoping the Signum now supporting HA would speed up things a bit :slight_smile: …

“Cooling mode” for Thermostats…
Setting programs on the VMBELO and GP series through HA
Accessing / virtualizing buttons of the BELO/GP series in HA…

As perhaps I can then match a button in HA to the scene defined in Velbus …

434

until now there is no progress on these …

velbus wrote a completely different type of integration, something on there own.
And until now they are not open to combine the work into one integration.

So it still comes down to my time for everything.

:frowning: … your contributions are valued :slight_smile:

if you can provide a quick intro into how the integration works… happy to test / write myself as well… (proficient in PShell/VBScript… newby in Perl)

Hi all,

im not sure if this is the right place to place my problem.
but i hope some one can help me out.

im using HA and Veldbus for a long time now. Evrything worked great. But now my VMB7IN Will not work in HA anymore and can’t seem to find why… The VMB7IN is updated but not working all off my other devices work great.

Im using a Raspberry PI 5 to run HA.

438

can you see the module on the devices page?

439

Hi,
Since version 2024.4.2 the VMB7IN doesn’t report the real time counter, only the total counter is reported.
image
Also the VMB4AN reports the wrong unit of measurement of a sensor : the measurement unit in µA, ohm… instead of the Units as defined and some sensor don’t have their real name.

Did you figure out what to input under “interface”? Im connecting to an USB module over a USB port with a RPI

441

I figured it out: what you input under interface is case sensitive. “ /dev/ttyACM0” worked instead of “/dev/ttyacm0”

Hey all. Since a few days ago, my Velbus integration becomes unresponsive and I have to restart HA for it to work again.
This is the log:

2024-05-17 03:10:12.190 WARNING (MainThread) [velbus-protocol] EOF received from Velbus

raise VelbusConnectionFailed from err
velbusaio.exceptions.VelbusConnectionFailed: ‘Connection setup failed’

I did not touch anything on Velbuslink, I just did HA updates.
What could be a reason for that error?
(I enabled debug login, will make a new post when it crashes again next time)
Thanks a lot

To where are you connecting, whats the connection string?

Becaus in this case it seems the socket is closed from the velbus side.

444

can you get me a diagnostics download?

445

Diagnostic file is on The system is waiting for tasks: velbus_connect_task · Issue #116547 · home-assistant/core · GitHub

i replied on the issue, i will need a lot more details to be able to help
