This repository contains utilities to use the HM-CFG-USB(2) (HomeMatic USB Konfigurations-Adapter, seems to be discontinued) from ELV on Linux/Unix by using libusb 1.0.

The HM-CFG-USB can be used to send and receive BidCoS-Packets to control HomeMatic home automation devices (like remote controllable sockets, switches, sensors, ...).

This repository contains, amongst others, an application, which emulates the HomeMatic LAN configuration adapter-protocol to make it possible to use the HM-CFG-USB in Fhem or as a lan configuration tool for the CCU or the HomeMatic windows configuration software, also supporting devices using AES-signing like KeyMatic.

Short hmland HowTo:

1. Install prerequisites: apt-get install libusb-1.0-0-dev build-essential git
2. Get the current version of this software (choose one option):
   • Get the current release-version as a .tar.gz:
     1. Download the latest version from the releases-directory. Version 0.100 is used as an example for the following commands.
     2. Extract the archive: tar xzf hmcfgusb-0.100.tar.gz
     3. Change into the new directory: cd hmcfgusb-0.100
   • Get the current development-version via git (can be easily updated with git pull):
     1. git clone https://git.zerfleddert.de/git/hmcfgusb
     2. Change into the new directory: cd hmcfgusb
   • Get the current development-version as an archive:
     1. hmcfgusb-HEAD-xxxxxxx.tar.gz (xxxxxxx is part of the commit-id. xxxxxxx is just a placeholder for this HowTo, use your value)
     2. Extract the archive: tar xzf hmcfgusb-HEAD-xxxxxxx.tar.gz
     3. Change into the new directory: cd hmcfgusb-HEAD-xxxxxxx
3. Build the code: make
4. Optional: Install udev-rules so normal users can access the device: sudo cp hmcfgusb.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/
5. Plug in the HM-CFG-USB
6. Run hmland (with debugging the first time, see -h switch): ./hmland -p 1234 -D
7. Configure Fhem to use your new HMLAN device:
   define hmusb HMLAN 127.0.0.1:1234
attr hmusb hmId <hmId>

Important compatibility information:
If older Fhem-versions (before 2015-06-19) or Homegear before 2015-07-01 is used to connect to hmland, the -I switch might be needed to impersonate a LAN-interface (this replaces the identity string HM-USB-IF with HM-LAN-IF). eQ-3 rfd (CCU and configuration software) works without this switch. Software which needs this will not keep a stable connection open to hmland without this switch. It was the hardcoded default in versions < 0.100.

This incompatibility is needed so connecting software is able to differentiate between HM-CFG-LAN and HM-CFG-USB.

Important security information:
Versions before 0.101 do not correctly transmit the AES channel-mask to the HM-CFG-USB, which results in signature-requests not being generated by the device in most cases. This can lead to processing of unsigned messages by the host-software. If you are relying on authenticated messages (with e.g. aesCommReq in Fhem) from devices like door-sensors and remotes, you should upgrade to at least version 0.101.

Updating the HM-CFG-USB firmware to version 0.967:

1. Compile the hmcfgusb utilities like in the hmland HowTo above (steps 1 to 5) and stay in the directory
2. Download the new firmware: hmusbif.03c7.enc (extracted from the Firmware update tool): wget https://git.zerfleddert.de/hmcfgusb/firmware/hmusbif.03c7.enc
3. Make sure that hmland is not running
4. Flash the update to the USB-stick: ./flash-hmcfgusb hmusbif.03c7.enc (You might need to use sudo for this)

Updating HomemMatic devices over the air (OTA) (also for CUL- and HM-MOD-UART-devices):

1. Compile the hmcfgusb utilities like in the hmland HowTo above (steps 1 to 5) and stay in the directory
2. Download the new firmware from eQ-3, in this example the HM-CC-RT-DN firmware version 1.4
3. Extract the tgz-file: tar xvzf hm_cc_rt_dn_update_V1_4_001_141020.tgz
4. Make sure that hmland is not running
5. When using the HM-CFG-USB(2), flash the new firmware to the device with serial KEQ0123456:
   ./flash-ota -f hm_cc_rt_dn_update_V1_4_001_141020.eq3 -s KEQ0123456
6. When using a culfw-, a-culfw- or tsculfw-based device (CUL/COC/...), flash the new firmware to the device with serial KEQ0123456:
   ./flash-ota -f hm_cc_rt_dn_update_V1_4_001_141020.eq3 -s KEQ0123456 -c /dev/ttyACM0
7. When using the HM-MOD-UART, flash the new firmware to the device with serial KEQ0123456:
   ./flash-ota -f hm_cc_rt_dn_update_V1_4_001_141020.eq3 -s KEQ0123456 -U /dev/ttyAMA0

Automatic firmware-updates:
The options -C (HMID of central), -D (HMID of device) and -K (AES key w/ index) can be used to send a device to the bootloader automatically without manually rebooting the device while pressing buttons:

./flash-ota -f hm_cc_rt_dn_update_V1_4_001_141020.eq3 -C ABCDEF -D 012345 -K 01:00112233445566778899AABBCCDDEEFF

-K is only needed, when AES signing is active on the device.
