Support Bin48Net -time packets #40

Closed adamalli7 closed 9 months ago

adamalli7 commented 9 months ago

Currently as far as I can tell this only supports the Bin32Net packets. Is there a way we could support the BIN48NET - TIME packets? The reason for the ask is I use the BTMON python script to retrieve data from my GEM device and then save the parsed data to influxdb. This script works as a client and requests data from the GEM, It can only work with the BIN48 format. I know people will save why don't I just save from HA to influxdb, but I mess around with my installation to much and the BTMON method works better for long term archival purposes.

So the problem is I can't have BTMON and HA getting data at the same time as I can only set one packet format.

Oh it definitely supports BIN48_NET_TIME. What behavior are you seeing that made you think it didn't? Can you include a diagnostic dump and debug logs?

adamalli7 commented 9 months ago

Right now I have the packet type set to BIN48NET - TIME and the GEM network utility setup to send data to my HA install.

With this setup the GEM setup in HA appears to never receive or setup the channels

If I change the packet type to BIN32NET, it picks it up right away and set ups the channels.

Not sure how to do the diagnostic dump or get the debug logs.

Follow the instructions here for diagnostics and debug logs: https://github.com/jkeljo/hacs-greeneye-monitor/blob/main/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/issue.md?plain=1

In step 3 of collecting the debug logs, go set your GEM back to BIN48-NET-TIME and give it a few minutes before moving to step 4.

Just letting you know I haven't forgotten about this. My hardware that was running HA just died on me, so it will be awhile before I can get back on this.

You can close this ticket. This was a misunderstanding on my part about what data was being displayed in HA. Everything is working as it should.
