Serial Communication with Homeseer
Posted: Thu Feb 17, 2011 11:05 pm
Hi All,
Want to send text to a MK158 Serial-display-kit from Velleman.
http://www.velleman.eu/distributor/prod ... ?id=350997
Connected the RS-232-wiring with 2 wires (Ground and Data).
With terminal emulator FOXTerm I send (and read) to the MK158 terminal. That works (with win7) with speed 2400 b/s.
But sending text from Homeseer to the display only B~ is on the Velleman-display.
In the HS-logging (no errors):
17-2-2011 21:33:22 Event Event Trigger "Com Port"
17-2-2011 21:33:22 Event Running script in background: comport.txt
This is the HomeSeer-script in the Event:
sub main()
Dim PortNumber
Portnumber=8
hs.OpenComPort PortNumber,"2400,N,8,1",1,"",""
hs.SendToComPort PortNumber,"Biertje?"
hs.Closecomport PortNumber
end sub
Perhaps the script is ok.
But is handshaking needed? Or VCC (+) wiring?
Anybody connected this Velleman-MK158 to Homeseer?
Any help appeciated !
