I have a Aten VM0404 HDMI Matrix Swith. I would like to control this with Vera by RS232 port.
Can somebody help me to set this up. I have read a lot of forum posts but i cannot get it done.
Thnks
I wondering if the Monoprice plugin would work. The are numerous HDMI matrix switches that are basically the same but sold as different brands.
Based on the following document here, the protocol is different.
If you wanted to code this yourself, then take a look at the monoprice plugin here.
I guess it wouldn’t be too difficult to try and adapt.
Oke, i will try to make one.
I found the following form with Serial commands for ATEN VanCryst 0404 matrix switch.

Somebody got any idea on how to edit the config files. when i open the files i cannot figure out what to edit.
I have a little programming experiance. so it in not completely new for me.
???
It’ll look something like this (completely untested/untried) file that I derived from the Monoprice switch. You’ll need to rename the D_.xml file from code.mios.com, as well as change the include inside it to handle the name change for the I_.xml file.
Again, it’s completely untested. I haven’t even uploaded it to Vera, so it’ll have bumps you’ll need to sort out. Enjoy 8)
Thanks,
I will test it. should be soon.
i will post the results
Any HDMI Matrix with RS232 comes with RS232 protocols to control that specific sswitch. Your ATEN unit should have come with the
protocols. You should contact them from details. I use KVMSwitchTech for all my HDMI Matrix needs and their products comes with a
comprehensive user manual and set up details.
We have the protocol doc already.
Somebody can help me.
I am not getting it to work. i use the Monoprice files and tray to re-program. i need to send below command to switch my Aten switch: sw i01 o02 [Enter]
sw = switch
i01 = input 01
o02 = output 02
it is a 4x4 switch.
Can somebody help, cannot get it to work ???
