Vera Serial Interface Encapsulation
I personally recommend the Vera to IP2SL to Qconnect to Qmotion blinds method. And at the same time the iRule to IP2SL to Qconnect to Qmotion blinds method. Meaning make the Qconnect IP addressable by connecting to it via the IP2SL. Then you can use any number of devices to send commands to the Qconnect via the IP2SL.
This chapter describes configuring the serial interface for Cisco 800M Series ISRs in. When the encapsulation on a serial interface is changed from HDLC to. How to configure Frame Relay in Packet Tracer. Interface serial 0/0/0. Desene Animate Dublat In Romana Torrents. Before we create sub interface, we first need to set encapsulation on.
I know some people on this board might prefer a direct connect between Vera and Qconnect, and hence if a plug-in gets built it might expect that direct connection, but I am definitely not in that camp. I prefer to IP enable Qconnect and then send commands via IP. One of the devices you will use to control the blinds under this scenario will obviously be Vera. Then, if desired, your phones/tables running iRule or RoomieRemote would be another set of devices. If you haven't configured an ITach device before, there will be a learning curve, but these devices are essential to making devices with IR, RS232, or contact closure part of your automation strategy, and hence I think the time is well spent. I had the advantage of already having configured multiple IP2IR and IP2SL devices for my iRule remote control network, and had figured out how to create and modify the Hex commands sent by iRule, so I had the confidence to know it could be done.
I had an ah-ha moment today in another thread. I have been having a lot of problems with the Qmotion shade in my kitchen not responding to open/close commands - not just via the Qconnect, but also the hand held remotes in close proximity. I also have an Oregon Scientific receiver on my kitchen counter, and a remote temp sensor just outside the window. Yesterday I tracked down the Qmotion frequency on the FCC website as they do not list it in any of their documentation - 433.92 MHZ. I bet the Oregon Scientific is the interference - that is the EXACT same frequency. On one hand, if you are using a RFXtrx433 with Vera - be careful if you order Qmotion shades due to possible interference. On the other hand, in theory with some work it should be possible to build support for the Qmotion shades into the RFXtrx Gateway, and hence control the shades from a RFXtrx433 without the $500 expense of buying a Qconnect like I did.
(Update Qmotion transmit/receive possibly encrypted: ). I added another 4 Qmotion blinds two weeks ago, and have updated the procedure below with all 15 channels (although I am only using 11).
I also added in check of an associated device - meaning a window sensor - before I move any roller shade. If the window is closed, the command is sent, but if the window is open, nothing is transmitted. That way if the window is open, the shade can only be moved manually (well not via Vera anyway), but if closed they move the position dictated by Vera. You should customize as needed, of course. Just to clarify guys. We are talking about Qmotion blinds where you can tilt them via the proposed solutions here.
Qmotion show cased a solution last year where they will offer blinds which can be lowered/raised and also tilted at the same time and all motorized. This solution is not on the market yet. All the code I have seen here was just to open or close the blinds which implies they are either shades to lower or raise them. Or they are blinds which are always manually raised or lowered and the motorization only applies to tilt them.
Did I get this right here? I don't have much experience with Wireshark sniffing - I have it installed on my laptop and use it for work - but really just to be able to read traces I get sent by another team (reviewing SIP headers to correct VOIP problems).
That said - it is easy to setup- you just pick a interface (wi-fi device) and hit start. If the data is an HTTP call, I think you will see it in all of its glory - if some other type of communication I am not sure what you will get. Too bad they didn't just create an API for Qsync and publish it. Maybe they will at some point - I would rather use straight IP instead of having to do the serial encapsulation into HTTP and add the Itach IP to serial device. (Course, now that I have that serial conversion done, it works great.).
• • Part of the book series (BIOSYSROB, volume 11) Abstract In Europe 30% of population will be aged 65 or more in 2060. Falls are a major health problem for older adults with immediate effects, such as fractures and head injuries, and longer term effects, as fear of falling, loss of independence and disability. Therefore, falls are a huge social and economic problem.
The goals of the WIISEL project is to develop an unobtrusive, self-learning and wearable system aimed at assessing gait impairments and fall risk in the home setting of older adults; assessing activity and mobility in daily living conditions; identifying decline in mobility performance and detecting falls in the home setting. A high-tech insole with wireless communication capabilities will be worn by the elderly, monitorizing their posture and evaluating gait dynamics via a matrix of printed pressure sensors.
