I saw this email notification, but maybe you deleted your reply?
"if you take the glass front off it has a USB connector you can use like a PCI.
It does not have ethernet capabilities."
There is an ethernet plug on the back, I've set an IP address and I can see it show up in a port scan. What is this ethernet port used for if you cannot program it or send commands to and from it?
Sorry, travelling and not sure what happened.
Yes the CTC cannot be used as a CNI from memory.
You can program them across the network - but need to be using PICED as the software.
Toolkit is just for CBUS, not touch screens.
What would be the cheapest way to get a CNI on the network, via the USB port and convert to ethernet?
Where are you based?
The cheapest is to use a PCI with a raspberry pi if you want an MQTT gateway.
Can be used for programming with a bit more work and using cgate.
I would suggest to use the older versions of cgate, toolkit and piced - the latest versions are quite different and there is not a lot of experience with them on raspberry pis try.
As per this issue here: https://github.com/micolous/cbus/issues/45
I have a clipsal CBUS system with a touch screen (I have no idea what this product is actually called).
It has 2x RS485 RJ45 sockets and a wired ethernet socket. I did not do the install and no longer have the project file, though I believe I can access the system via netbios to get it?
CBus toolkit cannot find any CNI devices on the network, however I with nmap I found the following ports open on the touchscreen.
Nmap scan report for 192.168.68.110 (DHCP assigned)
PORT STATE SERVICE VERSION 135/tcp open msrpc? 139/tcp open netbios-ssn Microsoft Windows netbios-ssn 8081/tcp open blackice-icecap?
All projects simply say "closed". Attempting to open the network says "PCI failed to reset. Unable to open the Network". None of the "Home" network seems to match what I see on the LCD screen.
I confirmed the unit address is "254" via the LCD.
I installed homeassistant with MQTT which found "257" devices. I assume this is simply the default project. None of these commands do anything on the network.
How can I find out what exactly this controller is and what would be required to get it to talk to libcbus/mqtt?
I figure if I can get the netbios setup I can pull the project file off the device which may assist.
