Integrating VP18cCom via RS485 serial USB

[whoami-pi]

Hi,

I'm trying to connect my Nilan VP18cCom via RS485 serial USB with HA (using also CTS602). I'm getting the error message "Unsupported Device" during the integration of Nilan.

I'm new at HA, the same interface was working before via PI and Node Red. I've added this into configration.yaml and restarted HA: # Logger logger: default: critical logs: custom_components.nilan: debug custom_components.hacs: debug

But I'm still unable to see any log entries in Log-book. Have also activated debug protocoll for the HACS device. Here is my selection:

As the path seems to be correct:

You should get an entry in logbook after trying to configure the device if debug logging is turned on. Also provide the pictures asked in read-me.

Hi

thanks for your quick response. Please find attached pics from Nilan devices.

Thanks for checking!!

Thanks. Now I need the log entry and I can add your device to the integration.

This is actually where I stuck up. So, what I did:

1. Debug is active for HACS:

2. Configuration.yaml: Have added these lines, saved the file, restarted HA # Logger logger: default: info logs: custom_components.nilan: debug custom_components.hacs: debug

3. (After new start STRG & F5 for cache) Add new integration, entered Nilan, selected SERIAL and following

4. Getting the issue related to unsupported device

5. Checking the Logbook, no entry for this integration

6. Even in home-assistant.log no entry related to this:

I'm pretty sure that I'm doing something wrong...

That should work. You don't need the HACS debugging.

But still not able to see any entries in Log Book for Nilan or am I checking the wrong log book?

Yes. Go to settings->system->logs.

Thanks, as I said, newbie at HA, here is an entry for Nilan, does it help you?

I need this entry from logs.

[whoami-pi]

ok, now it should be the right one, hopefully, thanks for being patient with me :)
