Hello, I have a Vallex 350 SE and am trying to start it in Homeassistant with this gateway. unfortunately I lack the knowledge. What do I have to do to get vallox-mqtt to work in Home assistant? Homeassistant runs as a Proxmox VM. MQTT is already running. I have a DSD TECH SH-U11 USB to RS485 converter with FTDI FT232 chip. Can someone help me there?

Hello,

Check the settings on https://github.com/pvainio/vallox-mqtt . Release packages contain compiled binaries for common linux platforms, arm and amd64.

After configuring the serial device and mqtt broker environment variables you can start the binary and it should publish the vallox device to home assistant.

Hello,

Thank you for your quick response.

Then I just need a start.sh script in Home Assistant without install go ?

My start.sh :

export SERIAL_DEVICE=/dev/ttyUSB0

export MQTT_URL=tcp://10.10.10.11:1883

export MQTT_USER=homeassistant

export MQTT_PASSWORD=homeassistant

export ENABLE_WRITE=true

export ENABLE_RAW=true

export DEBUG=true

./vallox-mqtt

Hello,

it runs on an ubuntu 20.04 vm.

But only if I specify the git clone vallox-mqtt and the following in start.sh:

cd /opt/vallox-mqtt/

go run main.go

with the parameter

.\vallox-mqtt

comes the message permission dinied.

[cid]

export SERIAL_DEVICE=/dev/ttyUSB0

export MQTT_URL=tcp://10.10.10.11:1883

export MQTT_USER=homeassistant

export MQTT_PASSWORD=homeassistant

export ENABLE_WRITE=true

export ENABLE_RAW=true

export DEBUG=true

./vallox-mqtt

cd /opt/vallox-mqtt/

go run main.go

If you have go installed, you can do "go run main.go", but if you don't have go installed, you can use precompiled binaries from https://github.com/pvainio/vallox-mqtt/releases .

Is the permission denied message about running the command or opening the serial device? So is it like ./vallox-mqtt: permission denied, which means you don't have permission to run the binary, and could try chmod a+x ./vallox-mqtt to give the permission to execute.

Or is the error like: ERROR error opening Vallox device /tmp/foo: open /tmp/foo: permission denied, which means you need to give the user the access to the serial device.

Thank you for the quick support.

Now it also runs in Homeassistant!

The fan levels work, temperature values ​​are not displayed, which is not so bad at first.

I have not yet managed to autostart in Homeassistant. I tried it via a shell command in an automation.

Thanks very much
