To set up and use remote EnOcean interface with the SmartServer, follow these steps:
- Enable remote mode on your SmartServer as described on this page. Do not use the EnOcean Configuration page to enable remote mode; for this release, remote mode is configured manually as described on this page.
- Optionally add Optionally add an EnOcean network interface as described on this page.
- Download and modify, or create an EnOcean device interface (XIF) and device type definition as described on this page.
- Define datapoint properties for any datapoints to be monitored or logged as described in Setting Datapoint Properties.
- Define or discover devices as described in Site Provisioning. See the step-by-step example described on this page:in the Adding Remote EnOcean Devices section on this page.
- Optionally, provide a BACnet interface for your EnOcean device; see Setting up the BACnet Server. This enables you to use a BACnet workstation with your EnOcean device.
Enabling Remote
...
Mode
With SmartServer 4.3 Update 1 and higher, EnOcean IoTC is supported as an EnOcean network interface, where EnOcean devices can be accessed through EnOcean WSS tunnel via access points, gateways, and SmartServers.
...
The remote EnOcean interface is now enabled on your SmartServer Pi.
Adding an EnOcean Network
...
Interface
You can optionally attach an EnOcean USB network interface to your SmartServer to add support for communicating with your EnOcean devices. See USB 300, 300U, 400J, and 500U EnOcean Network Interfaces.
...
- Plug the EnOcean USB network interface into an available SmartServer USB drive.
- Open the SmartServer Configuration page as described in Accessing the SmartServer Pi Configuration Page. The Configuration page view that appears depends on your cache data. As needed, click the SmartServer IoT tab. The System tab (top) will appear as the default as shown below.
- Click the EnOcean tab and configure the Local Antenna Tunnel settings as follows:
- Set the Enabled option to enabled status.
- Set Auth URL to the EnOcean IoTC cloud URL as supplied by your IoTC provider. Use https:// at the beginning of Auth URL setting.
Use the Host DEV pulldown menu to define the SmartServer USB where the EnOcean radio is connected. To determine which port is being used, enter the following command from a terminal connection to the SmartServer Pi:
Code Block sudo ls -l /dev/serial/by-id/ | grep usb-EnOcean_GmbH
A response similar to the one shown below is returned, where the port in the example below is ttyUSB0:
Code Block lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Mar 17 14:48 usb-EnOcean_GmbH_USB_500U_DA_EO6TD13G-if00-port0 -> ../../ttyUSB0
- Set Username to the EnOcean IoTC username credentials.
- Set Password to the EnOcean IoTC password credentials.
- Set Client ID to a user-defined client identifier (e.g., userStarterKit). If you have more than one tunnel within the same IoTC instance, then specify a unique Client ID for each tunnel. Every client that connects to the same IoTC instance must have a unique Client ID.
- Set Identifier to your SmartServer MAC ID without the colons (e.g., 00d0710d29b5). You can find your SmartServer MAC ID on the SmartServer System Configuration page. See Viewing System Information.
- Click Update to save the local antenna tunnel configuration.
Downloading and Creating EnOcean Device Interface (XIF) and Device Type
...
Definitions
You can download and optionally modify EnOcean device interface (XIF) and device type definitions. You can also manually create custom EnOcean XIF and device type definitions. To download and modify EnOcean device interface (XIF) and device type definitions, follow these steps:
- To download EnOcean XIF definitions, download the EnOcean device type package (.dtp) files from the SmartServer GitHub Repository You can optionally modify the EnOcean XIF files to hide selected datapoints.
- To create a custom EnOcean XIF definition (.iotc), see (Optional) Creating a Remote EnOcean Device Interface (XIF) Definition.
- To create a custom EnOcean device type definition (.dtd), see Defining Device Types.
- If you were previously configured for EnOcean interface local mode, then open the SmartServer Pi CMS and remove local EnOcean interface device types from the Device Types widget. See Defining Device Types.
- Import the EnOcean device interface (XIF) and device type definitions using the Import / Export button (
When the EnOcean XIF and device type definitions are loaded, the device type definitions will appear in the Device Types widget. ) on the SmartServer app bar. - Define datapoint properties for any datapoints to be monitored or logged as described in Setting Datapoint Properties.
