Couldn’t help noticing that you’ve moved from Plugwise to Z-wave devices. I’m very curious on your reasons, as pricing and feature-set is quite similar. Was it the openness of the protocol or perhaps reach of the built-in radio (which is not very great in Plugwise devices).

Cheers,

I am trying to write a program in Java for comunicating with the Plugwise Circle.

I wrote a simple program which opens the port and writes to its OutputStream. I tried the following:

byte[] text = {0×05, 0×05, 0×03, 0×03, 0×30, 0×30, 0×30, 0×41, 0×42, 0×34, 0×33, 0×43, 0x0D, 0x0A};
output.write(text);

but it doesn’t work. I receive nothing. I have tried the RealTerm software with which I can send data (ASCII) to the serial port.
When I send this string:

\x05\x05\x03\x03\x30\x30\x30\x41\x42\x34\x33\x43\x0D\x0A

I get back the same string i captured with portmon software.
So i thought the java code I wrote might be wrong, the way I am trying to send “Hexadecimal” data.
Can anyone help me please…

That’s a really awesome work everybody has done. I currently got a Circle+/Circle Home Start from Plugwise for my master thesis research and I wanted to write a program in Java for retrieving power consumption from the Circle. I’ve read almost all the articles but I can’t understand how should I send the msg to the serial port. Here is a simple code I use:

serialPort = (SerialPort) portId.open(this.getClass().getName(), TIME_OUT);
serialPort.setSerialPortParams(DATA_RATE, SerialPort.DATABITS_8, SerialPort.STOPBITS_1, SerialPort.PARITY_NONE);
// Open the Streams
input = serialPort.getInputStream();
output = serialPort.getOutputStream();
// Add event Listeners
serialPort.addEventListener(this);
serialPort.notifyOnDataAvailable(true);

String text = “003E000D6F0000AF6414″;
String crc16 = Checksum.getCRC16_String(text);

String packet = text + crc16;

byte[] sentPacket = HexBin.decode(packet);

output.write(sentPacket);

But I can’t get any msg at all. I’m not very used to serial programming.
For the CRC16 I used the code here http://domoticaforum.eu/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=5803&p=45093&hilit=java+plugwise#p45093 (by Tiz).

I hope anyone can help me, thanks.
