Two years late, but just saw your question about how I selected the settings for the culfw hardware. IIRC I attached a logic analyser to the C1101 on a boiler relay, and monitored the SPI download of settings at start of day.

The schematic for the latest CUL module is on the busware website here http://busware.de/tiki-download_file.php?fileId=43

dty> Sorry about very slow reply! Yes, the second UART is wired to the async data wires on all the current busware modules. It wasn't on the very old COC module, but is a fairly easy patch is needed.

Gald to hear it works for at least one other person!

This code is now checked into the trunk of the culfw project, with the default makefile building the support into the CUL_V3_ZWAVE image file.

Back in 2013 I hacked a boiler relay to act as an EvoHome sniffer, and reported the details in this thread domoticaforum.eu/viewtopic.php?f=7& ... 892#p62892 . However, even at the time I wanted to get a system working with a CC110x board, ideally running as part of culfw. That got shelved for a...

The descriptive text comes from the system data file. Initially it is written with numeric names, but you can edit to meaningful values and these are used at the next program start.

I originally used the 5V version (USB-RS232-WE-1800-BT_5.0 http://www.ftdichip.com/Products/Cables/USBRS232.htm ), with the auxillary 5V supply providing power for the optocoupler, but then twigged that the RS232 levels were sufficient, so I swapped to taking power from RTS/Tx. With this change any ...

Fyi, as a recent joiner to the forum I don't currently have PM rights. So if anyone contacts me directly (you know who you are , could you please include an email address for yourself in your PM? I'll then reply directly with my own details.

Many thanks,

In terms of software, I have put together a basic program which decodes / validates the data stream and then for a CmZone system learns the system setup, and displays overall system status approximately every 5mins. The system config is dumped to a data file, and the name of each unit can be customi...

My modification for the HC60NG allows monitoring of the received signals, but no control, as the RF device is an Infineon TDA5210 which is receive only. The TDA5210 has an RF front end (including a wide range automatic gain control circuit) and ASK/FSK demodulator. The two output signals going to th...

I don't know if anyone is interested, but I've found that it is easy to enhance an HC60NG boiler controller to add an optoisolated RS232 port which allows you to monitor all the received CMzone/Evohome traffic. I've got this running as both a standalone USB powered sniffer (using a spare HC60NG I ha...
