I have a device that send command with a FTDI chip. I see in the forum that it is compatible with the vera but didn’t find what i’m looking for. All i want for now is a device that show the string that have been read from the usb port (ftdi device). So with that, i will be able after to trigger scene depending of this device string (variable).

Thanks

Ok i try the somfy to test (send something via port) Here where i’m stall: Where i put the device id =, i’m with ui5 and the test luup does not include a device id space.

First, make note of the device id for your Somfy blinds by clicking ‘+’ next to the device in the device list. Next, go to Devices, Luup Plugins, Test Luup code. In the ‘Device number’ input box put the device number for the Somfy blinds. This way whatever code we test uses the Lua instance for the Somfy blinds, which will be configured already to use the serial port.
In the ‘Code’ input box, type: luup.io.write(‘!01U’) and click ‘Go’.

Thanks
