Title: adding a device interface
Post by: archived on January 07, 2007, 04:01:17 pm: Hello,

I tried to add a device which is not a manufacturer listed in database and i have some problems.

Fist i choose add a device on Wizard/Devices/Interfaces
I create manufacturer, i choose an interface for the device category, i add a device template which i select :
Code: [Select]
It's a simple, generic serial device controlled by RS232, Ethernet or USB
I have selected pick a device template but the device isn't listed on the page
Wizard/Devices/Interfaces

For example, if i select a device template EIB, it woks, it will be listed in the page of Interfaces.

What can i do? I have several difficulties to find documentation to make things works in my home.

I would be pleased to give more informations as requested.

Best Reguards

I've just installed the new version 2.0.0.43.

Now i can add a device template and i find it in the inferface page, but my device is controlled by RS232 and i can't chose the serial port.

For others devices like "EIB" there is a column called "Device data" which i can chose :
COM Port on PC
COM Port ParityBit/Stop
COM Port BaudRate

For my new device, there is nothing in this column. Where i can choose how to control my device? When creating a device template, i have selected:
It's a simple, generic serial device controlled by RS232, Ethernet or USB

Did you add those 3 device datas to your device template ?

AFAIK, those are 3 standard Device Data that you need to add to your rs232 device template.

Sorry for this delay, i haven't had time to try.

So, i find where to do this. Thanks a lot.
But i havent finished. I will inform you in my progress for controlling my own device. Maybe i can use some samples, others devices. Is there any documentation for adding an own device controlled by serial port ?
