Caddx nx584<-->serial to usb<-->Raspberry ser2net<-->Vera

Plugins & Plugin Development Unmaintained
#1

Hello,

I’m trying to configure this plugin with this type of connection:

Caddx nx584<–>serial to usb<–>Raspberry ser2net<–>Vera

I test the connectionn with dl900 software “Caddx nx584<–>serial to usb<–>pc running dl900” and this works OK
I telnet the ser2net ip/port from this pc (putty) and telnet connection from shh vera returns:

~ ▒▒▒~ ▒▒▒~ ▒▒▒~ ▒▒▒~ ▒▒▒~ ▒▒▒~ ▒▒▒~ ▒▒▒~ ▒▒▒~ ▒▒▒~ ▒▒▒

On ser2net I add this line:
1234:raw:0:/dev/ttyUSB0:9600 1STOPBIT 8DATABITS NONE

I setup nx584 with binary and 9600 baud

I put the ip:port on advanced tab of plugin but Vera returns: Caddx NX584 Security[91] : Failed to set up interface

This is the log:

Can you help me succeed with the connection?

Thanks a lot

Here’s what I can tell from your troubleshooting:

[ul][li]You can receive data that comes from the alarm panel (“Received inconvenient message 0x04”)[/li]
[li]There’s no evidence that the alarm panel is receiving any bytes, and there’s a suggestion that it’s not (“IOPort::Run RecvFailed 0 close 14”).[/li][/ul]

I’m confident that the problem is that the Raspberry Pi isn’t able to supply enough power to the USB-to-Serial adapter. RS-232 is a 12 volt protocol, so it requires extra current to step the 5 V USB connection up to send bytes. Receiving bytes is a step down in voltage so it will often work even without sufficient current. Raspberry Pi USB power is renowned for being anaemic.

Put an externally-powered USB hub, capable of at least 1 A per port, between the serial adapter and the Raspberry Pi, and try again.

Thanks a lot for your response.

You have solved my problem :slight_smile:
