Hi All,
I am trying to get my RS232 communication with Vera to work. My USB 2 RS232 is working within Vera. I can send commands when i telnet the IP and port of my Vera where RS232 is running on (see screenshot in doc attachment link).
But i cannot get it to work from vera with a (virtual) device. I really did everything. read al forum posts and work instructions (like somphy) (see screenshot of command and log in doc attachment link).
I added my 2 D_aten.xml and I_aten.xml files. created with this post [url=http://wiki.micasaverde.com/index.php/Luup_Somfy_Walkthrough]http://wiki.micasaverde.com/index.php/Luup_Somfy_Walkthrough[/url]
This was just the start. goal is to create 16 buttons (commands) i can assosiate to my buttons like TV - Playstation, TV - PC, TV - Apple TV to my remote (SQ Remote).
I need to send the following command from vera to my HDMI switch:
-
sw i01 o01
-
sw i01 o02
-
sw i01 o03
-
sw i01 o04
-
sw i02 o01
-
sw i02 o02
-
sw i02 o03
-
sw i02 o04
-
sw i03 o01
-
sw i03 o02
-
sw i03 o03
-
sw i03 o04
-
sw i04 o01
-
sw i04 o02
-
sw i04 o03
-
sw i04 o04
I have a Vera 2 (i think) see link [url=http://www.whydidibuythisthing.com/home-automation/vera-by-Mi-Casa-Verde]http://www.whydidibuythisthing.com/home-automation/vera-by-Mi-Casa-Verde[/url]
I use UI4 firmware 1.1.1245
Can some body give me a hand on this?

Did you have a look at the monoprice HDMI switch example?
Yes i did. could not get it to work.
Sell it and buy 4 of the monoprice ones for the price of one Aten version 
No option 
I really need this one to work. And it should work. only i need to know how…

No, not with Vera. I can sent a command by telnet and switch the matrix.

Is that done via a separate Telnet client?
What command do you use to do that?
I connected the matrix with an RS232 to USB cable to my vera. With a pc telnet client i made a connection to my vera with the port the RS232 i listening to.
I sent the command: sw i01 o02
It worked perfectly. But the problem is i cannot create a device within vera to controle the same commands. I need a telnet client to switch. I would like to create buttons within vera to sent the commands.
If you’ve not seen it already, I’m trying to build a plugin or at the very least some Luup/Lua code I can call from within a scene etc.

My plan is to have a Raspberry Pi, running Ser2net, with a USB to Rs232 cable connected to my HDMI matrix.
Sounds a bit overkill for an RPi (unless its already doing other stuff), and a Wiznet is cheaper and easier way to go about this:

My Vera should be able to sent commands. it works perfectly with telnet. i just cannot get it to work with the d_xxx.xml and the I_xxx.xml.
It is just because i cannot code the files.
So based on my first post i was hoping somebody could get me up to speed.
Can one of you help me to get the xml file working so i can create buttons within vera to sent the commands?
