Access RFXCOM via ser2net (IP addr + port) #130

Open gschot opened 1 year ago

gschot commented 1 year ago

Hello,

I went through closed issues but did not find anything in here yet describing the use of ser2net to connect an RFXCOM. I currently run all my domotics software (Home Assistant, Domoticz, NodeRED) in a Docker swarm cluster, so serial devices are not connected directly. I have 2 RFXCOMs that I share via standard linux ser2net on a tcp port. I am able to use these i.e. in Domoticz and Home Assistant, where I can enter an IP and port over which a remote RFXCOM is shared.

As I am migrating more and more domotics logic towards NodeRED, would it be an option to use a networked serial connection in this project?

I know it has been done. I've been meaning to make some experiments here and write up a how-to. Don't hold your breath, though :(

There is a brief description of how to do it here: https://github.com/maxwellhadley/node-red-contrib-rfxcom/issues/114#issuecomment-802813413
