here at home i always use a tcp connection to connect to the velbus sytem.
Maybe there is a bug in the serial communication part, and because of this its not working with a plain device …
can you guys try to use a tcp connection? and see if that fixes your problem?
i use this one: http://leachy.homeip.net/velbus/velserv.c
Hi Cereal2nd!
Big thanks for the reply.
Today I updated to latest (0.88.1) and this is the output from the log:
Imho the communication is fine, it seems to be between the serial connection and Lovelace that the entities don’t come through/get generated. (my Lovelace frontend is totally empty now 
)
I can install velserv of course, but anyway, who is creating the velbus component for hassio? Maybe he/she can shed some light on the situation.
Best regards,

as far as i know Hassio and HA are the same code …
Thomas Delaet and me did most of the work in HA, i have the last version of the velbus code running here at home and here it works.
i once started to debug this problem, its has something todo with the modules names that are not fully loaded by the python-velbus code, and if this happens they will not be registered to HA/hassio.
But i can not reproduce this here at home, so its hard to debug for me …
Impressive!
Between the error messages and what you tell regarding module names, I will try to do some investigation.
I found this link on how to get access outside the /config share: https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/en/hassio_debugging.html
Any other pointers you can give me for debugging this problem?
Thanks in advance

from what i could find out when i previously debugged this. the problem is inside the python velbus lib.
some modules never get the loaded flag set to True, because of this we never call the callback to register them with HA. and that is the reason they do not show up in HA
Hi Cereal2nd,
Update: Velbus is playing nicely with Openhab2.
I suspect there is indeed a bug, but I can’t tell if it is in the Python lib, but Openhab2 recognizes all modules, also the ones that HA gives an error for.
There definitely seem to be differences between the Component and the binding.
Best regards
the bug is in the python-velbus lib, i’m 100% sure about that 
Openhab2 = java so it uses a completely different lib
if you want i can have a look at your install?
if you can let me login i can try to debug the problem and i may find a good solution for everyone
i think i found a potential bug.
do you have a vmbgp1/2 or 4 in your install?
Dear Cereal2nd,
Thank you for your reply! So sorry, I didn’t seem to get notifications of your messages!
I actually just came back here to inform that I tried a clean install of 0.90.1, and only edited the configuration.yaml file with
velbus:
port: '192.168.0.10:3788'
This resulted in more or less the same: entities don’t show up in lovelace yet (nor in the entities list), but the log shows it has trouble with a few modules.
I would have no problem letting you access that machine, it’s remotely accessible. I’ve sent you details via PM!
Sorry again,
best regards,
Ward
the PR was created today, so i hope that it will be included in the next version of HA/HASS
Dear Cereal2nd,
In this last version of Home Assistant I can’t get a connection. In the previous version everything worked correctly.
Is there any possibility of correcting this situation?
Best regards.

Good evening,
I followed your instructions exactly but it is still not working. Do you have any other suggestions?

With the 0.94 release all of these problems should be fixed.
I hope to get covers/blinds in before the 1.0 release
hello, i have the same problem as DRACO but i am on 0.94

Best regards,
it seems that the PR was just to late for 0.94
0.94 still uses the bad python-velbus 2.0.24 and this should be 2.0.26
so if you install the correct one it should work (as it does here)
Hi Cereal2nd,
I installed version 0.96.5 and as far as the Velbus covers are concerned, some modules are detected, others aren’t. The functions up and down are working properly. Stop doesn’t work and neither does the status of the covers (shutters and sunscreens).
Best regards
Rui Oliveira
Hi
I also have a problem discovering modules with velbus. Velbus does not detect any modules. But in the log he sees the modules.
Can anyone help me with this? thank you
