ioBroker.mbus

======================

This adapter uses Sentry libraries to automatically report exceptions and code errors to the developers. For more details and for information how to disable the error reporting see Sentry-Plugin Documentation! Sentry reporting is used starting with js-controller 3.0.

This adapter for ioBroker connects to a M-Bus Master via TCP or serial to provide the status and details of connected M-Bus devices.

Description of parameters

Gateway IP / TCP Port

IP address and port of the M-Bus Master/Gateway when using TCP.

Serial port / baud rate

Serial Port and Baud rate of M-Bus Master/Gateway.

Update Interval

Interval in Seconds to update the data. Default (if empty) is 3600s (1h). Consider how the devices on the M-Bus bus are powered to prevent draining batteries. If you set the interval to 0 then the device is read only once on adapter start, but then no longer automatically.

Device IDs

You can use primary (1-250) and secondary (16 characters long) M-Bus IDs

How to read the Device on request?

In the created states for each device one state exists called "updateNow". When you set this to true (as control action with ack=false) the device is updated immediately. If an interval is configured the interval restarts after the data are received.

Todo

• encrypted payload handling (if needed by anyone)

How to report issues and feature requests

Please use GitHub issues for this.

Best is to set the adapter to Debug log mode (Instances -> Expert mode -> Column Log level). Then please get the logfile from disk (subdirectory "log" in ioBroker installation directory and not from Admin because Admin cuts the lines). If you do not like providing it in GitHub issue you can also send it to me via email (iobroker@fischer-ka.de). Please add a reference to the relevant GitHub issue AND also describe what I see in the log at which time.
