HM-CFG-USB-2 with HMLAND not working

English Forums Configuration

Hi,
I have a raspberry pi 2 with an HM-CFG-USB-2 stick. I already installed hmcfgusb and it seems like it’s working ok:

I configured Homegear to use the hmland interface:

[code]# The device family this interface is for
[HomeMaticBidCoS]

Specify an unique id here to identify this device in Homegear

id = hmland

When default is set to “true” Homegear will assign this device

to new peers.

default = true

Options: cul, cc1100, coc, cuno, hmcfglan, hmlgw

deviceType = hmcfglan

IP address of your HM-CFG-LAN

host = localhost

Port number your HM-CFG-LAN listens on. Normally 1000.

port = 1234

Put the AES key printed on your HM-CFG-LAN here

lanKey = 00112233445566778899AABBCCDDEEFF

Specify a 16 byte (32 characters) long AES key here to protect your wireless communication

!!! IMPORTANT: Never ever lose this key. That would render your devices useless.

To remove the key from your devices, you need to factory reset them

rfKey = 00112233445566778899AABBCCDDEEFF

With each key change currentRFKeyIndex needs to be

incremented by 1. Default value is 1.

currentRFKeyIndex = 1

When you change rfKey, put the old key here. To

change the key Homegear needs to know the old and

the new one.

!!! Do not set oldRFKey when you set rfKey for the first time !!!

##oldRFKey = 00112233445566778899AABBCCDDEEFF

Default: responseDelay = 95

Should be “95” for CUL or COC, “100” for TI CC1101 and “60” for HM-CFG-LAN or HM-LGW

responseDelay = 60[/code]
But I am not able to pair any devices.
When I start homegear on the command line I get the following output:

As I understand, it is not possible to use AES with the HM-CFG-USB-2. But how do I disable AES in Homegear? When I comment out the AES key lines, I get an error at startup.

Hey that’s not true. Only the AES encryption of the LAN communication is not supported (and not needed as the daemon runs locally). The wireless (BidCoS) AES handshakes are supported. To make the communication with the hmland work, you need to comment out the line starting with “lanKey =” in your physicalinterfaces.conf. “rfKey” needs to be set though, otherwise it won’t work.

So your config should look like this:

[HomeMaticBidCoS]
id = hmland
default = true
deviceType = hmcfglan
host = localhost
# Port number of the hmland
port = 1234
# lanKey is not supported by the hmland
# lanKey = 00112233445566778899AABBCCDDEEFF
rfKey = 00112233445566778899AABBCCDDEEFF
currentRFKeyIndex = 1
responseDelay = 60

Cheers,

Sathya

Ah ok, I wasn’t aware of that.

Great, that’s what I was looking for! It is working now, thank you very much. That hint should go in your wiki.

Great :smiley:

Definitely… :unamused:

Hello,

as a newby on Homegear I installed Homegear and HMLAN. Looking at the wiki and forum was difficult to find the installation parts and configuration infos. Then I find the Wiki entry homegear.eu/index.php/HM-CFG-USB. So I add this to my physicalinterfaces.conf. This results in that no module for HM-CFG-USB was not found. Further investigation in Google shows me this forum entry. In them [HM-CFG_USB] was changed to [HomeMaticBidCoS] this results in that Homegear is starting well, but the error log shows:

Module HomeMatic BidCoS: LAN-Konfigurationsadapter “hmland”: Error: First packet from HM-CFG-LAN does not start with “HHM-LAN-IF” or has wrong structure.

Any Hints what wrong in my installation?

Thanks Rainer

You must add -I option to the hmland startup script.

See git.zerfleddert.de/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi/hmcfgusb

[quote]Important compatibility information:
If older Fhem-versions (before 2015-06-19) or Homegear before 2015-07-01 is used to connect to hmland, the -I switch might be needed to impersonate a LAN-interface (this replaces the identity string HM-USB-IF with HM-LAN-IF). eQ-3 rfd (CCU and configuration software) works without this switch. Software which needs this will not keep a stable connection open to hmland without this switch. It was the hardcoded default in versions < 0.100.[/quote]

Many Thanks, it works with the -I :smiley:
