Connects HomeMatic Interface-Processes (BidCos-Services, Homegear and CUxD) via XML-RPC or BIN-RPC to ioBroker
Homematic Address is the IP of the HomeMatic CCU respectively the Host that is running the BidCos-Service(s). CCU IP address.
CCU Port.
Usually:
- 2001 for wireless devices (https: 42001),
- 2000 for wired devices (https: 42000),
- 8701 for CUxD daemon,
- 2010 for Homematic IP devices (https: 42010)
- 9292 for Virtual Devices (https: 49292)
CCU/Homematic can support different types of devices (wired, wireless, hmip, CUxD) and for every type you should create the instance of adapter separately.
There are two protocols for communication XML-RPC and BIN-RPC. BIN-RPC is faster, but it can be, that the end device do not support it or supports it incorrect. In this case switch the protocol to XML.
Notice: CUxD can only communicate with BIN-RPC and HMIP and RFD only via XML-RPC protocol.
After very first start the instance read all devices from CCU/Homematic. If you changed the configuration (rename devices, add or removed devices) you can synchronise the configuration in ioBroker by enabling this option.
The instance will be restarted immediately, synchronize all devices anew and deactivate this option itself.
This address has to be the IP under which the host that is running the adapter itself is reachable. This address is used by the CCU to connect to the adapter. This address cannot be "0.0.0.0", because CCU/Homematic cannot reach ioBroker under "0.0.0.0" IP address.
The port number on which the ioBroker will run. Let it 0 for automatically selection.
Sometimes the ioBroker server runs behind the router, to solve this problem, that inboud and outbound addresses are different, this option can be used. Here you can define the IP address of the router and the router will according to the port route the traffic to ioBroker.
Used if ioBroker runs in Docker.
Send pings to CCU/Homematic with such intervall.
How many seconds will be waited before connect attempts.
If this flag is not activated, the ioBroker will remove devices from configuration if device is not found at adapter start in CCU/Homematic. Activate this flag to do not delete such a devices. This is to avoid a bug on CCU side, where hmip devices are not correctly transmitted to ioBroker and thus will be deleted on adapter startage and be recreated when transmitted some milliseconds later. The flag is automatically checked when you selected hmip as daemon. However, when you delete devices while adapter is running, the adapter will be notified by CCU and will remove devices which are removed on CCU.
If this flag is activated, the connection will be established via https instead http. This only works with XML-RPC protocol.
If 'use https' is activated you can fill in the username and password of a CCU user. In case the CCU needs authentication on the API, you have to provide the credentials here.
It is possible to send custom commands, e. g. to read and control the master area of a device which allows the user to configure heating week programs and more.
This is done by sending a message to the adapter, which contains the method as first parameter, followed by an object which
has to contain the ID of the target device as well as optional the paramType, which specifies e. g. the MASTER area.
Additional parameters have to be sent in the params object.
Examples:
Log all values of the MASTER area of a device:
sendTo('hm-rpc.0', 'getParamset', {ID: 'OEQ1861203', paramType: 'MASTER'}, res => {
log(JSON.stringify(res));
});Set an attribute of the MASTER area to a specific value:
sendTo('hm-rpc.0', 'putParamset', {ID: 'OEQ1861203', paramType: 'MASTER', params: {'ENDTIME_FRIDAY_1': 700}}, res => {
log(JSON.stringify(res));
});List all devices:
sendTo('hm-rpc.0', 'listDevices', {}, res => {
log(JSON.stringify(res));
});Set a value, like the adapter does on stateChange:
sendTo('hm-rpc.1', 'setValue', {ID: '000453D77B9EDF:1', paramType: 'SET_POINT_TEMPERATURE', params: 15}, res => {
log(JSON.stringify(res));
});Get the paramsetDescription of a devices channel:
sendTo('hm-rpc.1', 'getParamsetDescription', {ID: '000453D77B9EDF:1', paramType: 'VALUES'}, res => {
log(JSON.stringify(res));
});Get firmware information of a device (in this case we are logging the FW status):
sendTo('hm-rpc.1', 'getDeviceDescription', {ID: '0000S8179E3DBE', paramType: 'FIRMWARE'}, res => {
if (!res.error) {
log(`FW status: ${res.result.FIRMWARE_UPDATE_STATE}`)
} else {
log(res.error)
}
});If you use HomeMatic switches or remotes their button states will only be acknowledged by CCU and thus by ioBroker, when you have a running 'dummy' program on the CCU which depends on the related switch or remote.
