Add driver for Lunatune SCI RS232. #132

Closed opieters closed 9 months ago

opieters commented 9 months ago

I have a Lunatone SCI RS232 device that I would like to add to this project. This is a serial DALI interface, and follows the already existing implementation for the Lunatone LUBA serial driver.

Thank you.

Thank you for merging my PR! When will the next release be available? I'm also working on a DALI integration for home assistant and would like to use this newly added driver to test that implementation.

There is no particular schedule for a new release — it's generally "when there's enough new stuff to make it worthwhile".

That might be soon :-)

You're not the only one working on DALI and Home Assistant. I have the beginnings of an MQTT-based integration and I believe @sl-wallace is working on one too.

I'm not completely happy with mine; I might start again at some point. Or if someone else writes one I'm happy with, I'll use that instead!

Might as well through my take on the DALI 2 HA :)

@sde1000 unfortunately the company I was working for when making my DALI HA integration has closed down, so I don't have access to the hardware I was using any more. I'll check what will happen to the code I'd written - it worked reasonably well, it would be a shame to have it go to waste. I'd love to be able to release it as open source, I'll see what I can do. Also I kept access to my work GitHub account (obviously, since I'm using it right now), I wanted to remain contactable to support the open source work I'd done - but probably future work would come from my personal account @seanlano. :smile:
