Unfortunately I do not have the time to write a beginner's guide, particularly as there are too many possible variations in each user's set up. However, the broad steps you need to take are:
Install the correct firmware on the Arduino (link in the main README page).
Set the evogateway.cfg
parameters, especially the USB port number etc.
Run the main evogateway.py
script with python.
That's it!
If you are using Ubuntu, to install the firmware you need to install avrdude, gcc-avr and avr-libc, e.g.:
sudo apt install avrdude
sudo apt install gcc-avr
sudo apt install avr-libc
Then run the make
command to compile everything. Once this is successfully done, you can upload the firmware to the Arduino with something like:
avrdude -p atmega328p -P/dev/ttyUSB0 -c arduino -b 57600 -U flash:w:evo.elf
making sure to change the port and the name of the compiled elf
file.
So do I Need this link: The firmware I am running is one modded by ghoti57 available from https://github.com/ghoti57/evofw2,
Or: https://github.com/smar000/evofw2
Thanks for the quick reply!
Use the one from ghoti57 - https://github.com/ghoti57/evofw2 (the fork in my repo was when I was experimenting). Remember to use the FIFO branch.
thanks, downloaded the FIFO branch, compiled it (for other readers: copy files of the FIFO zip to your RPI, use cd to navigate to the folder and type make. It shoud compile the files)
And used your avrdude command with changed baud of 57600 to 115200.
avrdude -p atmega328p -P/dev/ttyUSB0 -c arduino -b 115200 -U flash:w:evo.elf -v
With the baud of 57600 i was getting following errors:
avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 1 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x00
I installed musquito MQTT just to get rid of the MQTT error if it wasnt installed.
This is my MQTT part of the CFG file:
MQTT_PUB_TOPIC = evohome/gateway MQTT_SUB_TOPIC = evohome/gateway/command MQTT_SERVER = 192.168.1.104 MQTT_USER = openhab MQTT_PW = xxxx MQTT_CLIENTID = evoGateway
I only changed the IP adress and the error was gone, i still have to figure out how MQTT is working but i was just hoping to see some data getting shown but it's not showing.
When i run the evogateway.py file the only thing im seeing is:

Tried it again this morning and got something but dont know what it means.... it's an error:

Looks like your baud rate setting is incorrect. You need to make sure that the setting in the .cfg
files matches what you actually have the physical port set at at the OS level. You can check the current setting by:
stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0 speed
and set the required OS level speed by:
stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0 speed 115200
etc
I checked the speed:
pi@raspberrypi:~/evohome $ stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0 speed
2400
When trying to set it and check it again, it's the speed i have set a few times, then it changes back to 2400... any clue?
pi@raspberrypi:~/evohome $ stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0 115200
pi@raspberrypi:~/evohome $ stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0 speed
115200
pi@raspberrypi:~/evohome $ stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0 speed
115200
pi@raspberrypi:~/evohome $ stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0 speed
2400
pi@raspberrypi:~/evohome $
`
Strange.. i changed the baud rate in the evohome.cfg again to 115200 and started the script.

So stuff seems to be happening.... but also issues errors?
Your devices.json
file does not appear to be correctly set up. You need to make sure you have ALL your devices specified, with the CORRECT zone numbers.
How do we find this information?
The devices_new.json
file should list all the devices that are 'heard' by the system whilst it is listening in on the evohome radio communications. You can use this as a basis to help with setting up your own devices.json
file. Remember to ensure you have the zoneMaster
flag set correctly for the device that is the master in a multi-device zone.
It only registered 3 devices...
What i do see happening is that in evogatway.log a lot is going one which seems to be recieved but not correctly interperted:

Im playing around with baudrates but it seems that 115200 gives the most readable data but it's all hit and miss which i dont understand why.
I have had my systems receiving fine on all standard baud rates from 56k to 256k. I suspect there is some underlying hardware issue with your set up. Could be anything, including the usb serial controller on your Arduino, the serial port on your PC etc.
Actually I just saw in one of your error logs that you are using a raspberry pi. I think I recall reading somewhere about issues with serial communications with the built-in USB. Maybe this is something for you to look at as well.
I'm sorry, but I don't think I can help further on this. All I can tell you is that the system has been fine in my home and in that of a number of other users.
I did some checking of the wiring and hope it's better now.
Started to execute the script again and all of a sudden this come:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/pi/evohome/evogateway.py", line 1362, in <module> initialise_mqtt_client(mqtt_client) File "/home/pi/evohome/evogateway.py", line 370, in initialise_mqtt_client mqtt_client.connect(MQTT_SERVER, port=1883, keepalive=0, bind_address="") File "/home/pi/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/paho/mqtt/client.py", line 838, in connect self.connect_async(host, port, keepalive, bind_address) File "/home/pi/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/paho/mqtt/client.py", line 893, in connect_async raise ValueError('Invalid host.') ValueError: Invalid host.
I didnt changed anything and cant find an solution for this. Tried a lot of settings but no solution.
EDIT: Well, the only thing i changed was starting to run the script as followes: python /home/pi/evohome/evogateway.py
That doesnt seem to work....
The error message says that you do not have an address set for the mqtt server.
Is it possible to check if the usb driver is causing an issue or something?
I have the idea the port closes for some reason and stops working.
This is an error message log from Domoticz.

Unfortunately I'm not really the best person to help you with debugging usb driver issues on your rpi. My installation is on an Ubuntu VM and so I have no experience of rpi usb issues.
Given that there doesn't appear to be a problem with the evogateway script itself, I'll close this thread now. If however you do find a problem with the script, don't hestiate to open a new issue.
Smar000,
How do we set this all up correctly? I have solder the wires to the CC1101 and connected it to the Nano V3.
Whats next? Im havent worked with Arduino's much so im really in need of some step by step guides.
Thanks!
