Hello all,
I’m a 20 year Homeseer user just starting out with HomeAssistant.
The devices for the W800RF32 show up in the configuration, but the status of my motion detectors never change (never goes on with motion). Everything was working fine in my Homeseer setup.
I’ve installed HA 2021.2.0 in Docker on an Ubuntu box.
Hardware: W800RF32 (serial) plugged into a 2-port Serial PCI card. (US version on 310MHz)
I’ve set the following configuration in configuarion.yaml. As you can see by the config, I’m just starting out.
I’m pretty certain I have the correct device (/dev/ttyS4) because I have:
- Connected to that port with tio and was able to see gibberish appear in the terminal every time motion was sent by a motion detector.
- Google led me to a test to look at some output before and after unplugging the W800RF, and the only device that showed a change when unplugging was /dev/ttyS4
Please note that I’m not interested in running Homeseer to feed info to HA. I left Homeseer for several reasons. I’d also prefer to run the W800RF32 natively in HA rather than use heyu. My goal is to keep the setup as simple as possible.
I’ve read every article that search brings up for “W800RF” and followed the instructions here.
Any help would be most appreciated!
