VERA 2 Device Install

[jmmorgan]

Here is my log. It seems the gateway startup ok and send the inclusion command. The node requests the ID, which the gateway acknowledge, but nothing happens after that.

I can't see that the inclusion mode was started in the log.

And what does the log say on the sensor when it requests an id? Does it receive anything?

[jmmorgan]

@hek the sensor send a request for the ID and the gateway acknowledge the request, but never send the id.

Hmm.. yes.. it looks like serial communication only works one-way (from Nano to Vera) but not the other direction.
Gateway doesn't even reply on the request for version message.

How is this even possible? Some strange setting in Serial port configuration?

@hek
There is my serial configuration screen.

Could try reducing the baud rate between gateway and vera. I had trouble communicating with the serial gateway at the highest speed (only 1 way communication), reducing to 9600 solved it.

yep, that might worth a try.

To update baud rate on gateway side, edit the following line in Sensor.h

#define BAUD_RATE 115200

@hek
How do you set it to 9600 in the Vera mysensor plug in? If I set the Vera serial port to 9600, the mysensor plug in states that it needs to be set to 115200 and the plug in fails.
Thanks

Edit the
L_Arduino.lua
You'll find it somewhere at the top.

@hek
I set the L_Arduino.lua to 9600. The mysensor plugin now states to set the it 9600. I set it to 9600 and reload. It again states to set the serial port 9600 (but it is set to 9600), and the plugin fails. Is there something else I need to change?

@jmmorgan

what value is your serial port configuration page showing now?

[jmmorgan]

@BulldogLowell It shows 9600

[jmmorgan]

@wmylionel: Are you using Vera 2? If so what lines do you have in the /etc/cmh/serproxy.port file?
Thanks
John

[jmmorgan]

Can anyone tell me what setting they have in the /etc/cmh/serproxy.port file?

serproxy.port

I don't have that file.

[jmmorgan]

Does anyone with a Vera2 have that file?
