v13 v14 6 6 7 7 The Enocean devices use a [http://www.enocean-alliance.org/fileadmin/redaktion/enocean_alliance/pdf/EnOcean_Equipment_Profiles_2.0.pdf small telegram] due to power limitations for the sensors. The current range of hardware only communicates one way. For window sensors and small button remotes this works very well. In future I hope the technology will have support for bidirectional dimmer and switch devices. For this the standards organization has created the Dolphin platform. When devices become available I will look into the new range of transceiver hardware like the TCM320. 8 [[Image(enocean_schema_all.png, right)]] 8 9 9 10 == Gateway hardware == 10 [[Image(enocean_schema_all.png, right)]]11 11 12 12 The [http://www.enocean.com/en/enocean_modules/datasheet_TCM120_02.pdf TCM120] communicates using a serial TTL protocol and can easily be interfaced to a computer using RS232. I prefer to use platform independent hardware so the interface is a RS232 TTL bridge to a network socket. For this the [http://www.eztcp.com/en/products/cse-m73.php Sollae CSE-M73] was used. … … 20 20 [[Image(enocean_sollae_setup.png, 60%, right)]] 21 21 22 When the hardware is all done, connect the device to the network and check your dhcp server to see which ipaddress is given to the device. Download the ezmanager tool from Sollae and look for the device. When you communicate with the device, I use virtualbox on a mac with a windows image to start the ezmanager tool, look for the settings page and configure according to the settings in the next screenshot:22 When the hardware is all done, connect the device to the network and check your dhcp server to see which ipaddress is given to the device. (I am not sure if the device initially uses a fixed ip or a dhcp server, please consult documentation when unsure) 23 23 24 Download the ezmanager tool from Sollae and look for the device. When you communicate with the device, I use virtualbox on a mac with a windows image to start the ezmanager tool, look for the settings page and configure according to the settings in the next screenshot: 24 25 26 The TTL option is important. 25 27 28 [[BR]] [[BR]] [[BR]] [[BR]] 26 29 27 And to test the device, go to the #simple test# option and first enter the correct peer ipaddress and port, select the connect button, see left image below. Next get a window sensor or a button device. press a few buttons and you should see data coming into the read window. See right image. 30 == Test hardware == 31 And to test the device, go to the '''simple test''' option and first enter the correct peer ipaddress and port, select the connect button, see left image below.

And select Create, the vera box will probably reset and reload. 36 41
