Description

This program makes the FHZ1000/FHZ1300/WS300 and other USB devices sold by ELV, Conrad and others useable with Linux. In fact, there is nothing Linux special in it, you should be able to use it on other platforms as long as you can access the hardware as a serial device.
The program runs as a server, you can control it via telnet, command line program or TCP/IP directly, like the supplied web frontends do.

Currently implemented features:

• Via the FHZ module (with access to one or more FHZ1000/FHZ1300 device):
  • reading and sending FS20 events (on/off/dimming, timer commands)
    
  • support of FS20 address features function group, local and global master
  • reading and changing FHT80b parameters (temp, actuator, etc).
    The FHT8b seems to work too. Note: the FHT8 wont work.
    Internal software buffer to prevent lost commands.
    
  • reading HMS data (HMS100-T,-TF,-WD,-MG,-TFK and RM100-2)
  • reading KS300 data
  Note:The FHZ1350 WLAN is probably not working due to a prorietary encryption.
• reading WS300 data, and up to 9 attached devices
• reading EM1000WZ/EM1000EM data via an attached EM1010PC
• reading attached SCIVT devices
• reading attached M232 devices
• logging events to files (or database), with regexp filters
• notifying external programs or internal modules when receiving certain events
• timed commands (e.g. switching a lamp on from sunset till midnight)
• modular architecture
• Two different web frontends, choose your favorite

Installation

Linux driver

See http://www.koeniglich.de/fhem/linux.html
For kernels older then 2.6.x apply the patch from the doc directory to your kernel, recompile it and reboot or load/reload the ftdi_sio module.

Perl modules

You need perl with the Device::SerialPort ( http://search.cpan.org/dist/Device-SerialPort/) module. All other needed modules were present in my installation. If this module reports Can't call method "opened" on an undefined value... when starting the server, then you either may ignore this message, or replace the mentioned line with:

    $self->{HANDLE}->close if (defined($self->{HANDLE}) &&
    	                       $self->{HANDLE}->opened);

Server installation

• Copy the file fhem.pl into your path (e.g. /usr/local/bin), and the FHEM directory e.g. to /usr/local/lib.
• Copy additional modules from the contrib directory (like 99_SUNRISE_EL.pm)
• Make sure that you can access the serial USB device (e.g. /dev/tts/USB0).
• Create a configuration file (see the examples directory and docs/commandref.html), change at least the modpath (/usr/local/lib) and define FHZ FHZ (/dev/tts/USB0) parameters.
• Start the server with fhem.pl <configfile>

General Notes for Webfrontends:

• You don't have to install all of them, one is probably more than enough :-)
• The web server and the fhem server must be on the same host
• Important: Make sure you add some protection (.htaccess, etc) else everybody will be able to set your devices

Web frontend 2 (webfrontend/pgm2)

This frontend is a FHEM module realising a primitive HTTP server -> You do not even need apache if security (password/HTTPS) is not a concern. It has support for grouping devices into rooms, manipulating devices, direct fhem commands, diplaying logfiles as text or (if gnuplot is installed) as graphs.
Screenshots: one, two.

For installation see the webpgm/pgm2/README file.


Web frontend 3 (webfrontend/pgm3)

This frontend is PHP based and was contributed by Martin Haas. Look at the webfrontends/pgm3/docs for more documentation or at this screenshot. A lot more details can be found on Martins page: http://www.martin-haas.de/fhz


• Install PHP and enable it by commenting in the "LoadModule phpX_module ..." directive in httpd.conf (perhaps it is already done by your distro). Restart/reload httpd.
• Create a directory (e.g.: /home/httpd/html/pgm3) and copy all the files from the webfrontend/pgm3 to this directory.
  Make sure that this directory is writeable by the webserver!
• Edit index.php (/home/httpd/html/pgm3/index.php), and check the required settings section
• If you want to have access to the FHT temperature logs, then:
  • Make sure gnuplot is installed
  • check the showgnuplot section in index.php
  • For each FHT device copy the file docs/gnuplot/gnuplot.wz to gnuplot.fhtdevicename (to the /home/httpd/html/pgm3 directory) and replace fht.log in this file with the absolute name of the current logfile.
• Call <your-site>/pgm3/index.php

Web frontend 4 (webfrontend/pgm4, the template)

This frontend is PHP based and was contributed by Stefan Mayer. It won't work for you without modification, it is meant as a template or as an example. See the screenshot. To install:
• Copy the directory webfrontend/pgm4 to your html directory.
• Install/enable PHP (see the description for frontend3)
• Call the program with http://webserver/pgm4/fs20.php
Now you can go on, and modify it to suit your needs :-)
