FHEM on the Fritz!Box 7390
(as of 2011-07-08)
AVM released after the CeBIT 2011 an image for the Fritz!Box7390 containing
fhem, see
this link. This image is to be installed in
addition to the
normal firmware. In order to use the image, you have to install a Lab
version of the normal firmware before, because fhem needs the USB-Serial
kernel modules in order to talk to the CUL, and these are not yet part of
the "normal" firmware.
Version 19798 of this fhem-image (not the Lab firmware) configures 2 CUL
devices, the first one talking FS20, the second preconfigured for
HomeMatic. Autoconfigure is not enabled by default, so you'll either have
to enable it or to enter the devices by hand.
The bad news with this fhem-image is, that it will start fhem in a chroot
environment, i.e. you will not be able to trigger arbitrary FritzBox
functions out of fhem, e.g. sending mail, enabling WLAN, etc.
This fhem-image contains a stripped
down version of the perl package from the AVM fhem-image, a current version
of fhem, and a modified installation script. The main difference is
starting fhem in a normal (non-chroot) environment, and enabling
autocreate.
When installing it, you have to confirm with an extra click that it does
not have a valid AVM signature. It will reuse your old logfiles and
configuration, unlike the "original" AVM firmware. Autocreate is on, and
there are NO CUL devices defined in the initial configuration, you'll have
to do this manually, e.g. by following the HOWTO or the command reference.
