[hmcfgusb] / README.md

This repository contains utilities to use the [HM-CFG-USB(2)][] (HomeMatic USB
Konfigurations-Adapter) 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 git://git.zerfleddert.de/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 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
*   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`
*   When using a **[culfw][]**-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`

**Automatic firmware-updates:**  
The options `-C`, `-D` and `-K` can be used to send a device to the
bootloader automatically without manually rebooting the device while
pressing buttons.

signing-requests with culfw-devices.
