basic plugwise setup for domotiga?

In domotiga, I connect a Circle+ via the usb, (plugwise is running fine on windows)
I take the macaddress from the label (000D6F000076xxxx) on the circle+
In the interface setup, I choose /dev/ttyUSB0 as the port. Logging says:2010/08/11 19:40:42 Plugwise support enabled.
2010/08/11 19:40:42 Plugwise interface connected to Port /dev/ttyUSB0
Then I add a device, but debug says:
2010/08/11 19:42:13 [Plugwise] GetDeviceInfo() didn't get expected answer.
2010/08/11 19:42:13 [Plugwise] checking power usage of device 'Bostoen test' with address 000D6F00007295D9
2010/08/11 19:42:13 [Plugwise] MAC: 000D6F00007295D9
2010/08/11 19:42:13 [Plugwise] String: 0026000D6F00007295D9 CRC: 71C5
2010/08/11 19:42:13 [Plugwise] Write: 0026000D6F00007295D971C5
2010/08/11 19:42:14 [Plugwise] GetPowerInfo() didn't get expected answer for address '000D6F00007295D9' result was ''
any idea where to look for a solution?
that would be greatly appreciated.

The plugwise GUI mentions 2.15 (20100328) in the header.

I think that is your problem, I'm not sure but I think your firmware (>= 2.0) is not supported yet.
Ron can tell more if I'm right.

That's a pity,
I'm asked toset up monitor for some demo houses for a Belgian building company and I planned to use Domotiga to achieve this. I guess I'll have to follow the forum and wait for a new version?
I'am more than happy to spend time into this but reverse engineering a protocol is not my cup of tea.

I will build version 2 support if I can get my hands on some protocol info.

In this
thread mdamen has done some work and he seems to have his document under review(by plugwise perhaps?).
After that it seems he's allowed to publish it, might be worth waiting for that

Nope, still struggling.
Hopefully it's a lack of linux knowledge.
When I enter the Plugwise stick I get following result:
on linux:
Code: Select all
domotiga@domotiga:-$ lsusb
...
Bus 005 Device 002: ID 0403:6001 Future Technology Devices International, Ltd FT232 USB-Serial (UART) IC
...
Code: Select all
domotiga@domotiga:-$ dmesg
...
[ 2...] usb 5-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2
[ 2...] usb 5-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
[ 2...] usbcore: registered new interface driver usbserial
...
[ 2...] FTDI USB Serial Device converter now attached to ttyUSB0
...
within domotiga:
Tools > Serial Ports: a serial device /dev/ttyUSB0, in use by (unassigned) is added.
Setup > Interfaces > Plugwise: Serial port is set to /dev/ttyUSB0, Module enabled, Debug active, Firmware = 2009 (see screenshot1)
Devices > Plugwise device configured correctly (see screenshot2)
However Debugging info shows that GetPowerInfo() only gets an empty response.
When I use Tools > Serial Monitor, undefined characters scroll through the screen.
I assume the stick is receiving data from the circle+ device? It works fine on windows, using the proprietary software from Plugwise.
Where do I start debugging?
many thanks for the support so far!!
