Installing the XML API patch on Homematic CCU3 for TinyMatic - how to do it?

Question

Hello I want to install an XML API fix/ patch and I don't know how to go about it. This is required by the TinyMatic app( for smart home control) In order to use TinyMatic, a device with Android 4.0 or later and the HomeMatic CCU1 / CCU2 / CCU3 is required.( and I have a CCU3) In addition, the...

. This XML API is for CCU and not for Android. Install it at: Settings -> Control panel -> Addisional software

And that's an onlooker of me

Thanks !

The access to CCU3 is already working, I have not yet managed to install the above mentioned patch, because temporarily
I am at work and have the PBX connected to a different network than my laptop. Is it easy to configure it so that the webui of the PBX can be accessed from any network ?

. I don't know because I don't understand what you wrote: What do you mean to a different network? Do you mean a different location (in a different location) or the same location just two VLANs ?

Sorry, I didn't write specifically - same location, just 2 V-LANs. Actually, I don't really know if it's 2 VLANs, I just know it's two different network SSIDs, but the internet connection is one.

Then you have to set it up on the router for the networks to see each other but since they are separated I guess there was a purpose?

SSID refers to WiFI. Do you mean to tell me that you have the CCU hooked up to WiFi?

It's probably the case that the CCU by cable and the laptop by WiFI, and on top of that some WiFI "isolation" you have enabled,

What kind of router is this?

tida1 · Answer

I cable the CCU to a router that has wi-wi. When I connect with my laptop to this wifi network, I can access the CCU.

When I connect with my laptop to another wifi network ( because it's the other part of the building), I can't access the CCU. I don't know what the router is, neither one nor the other....

No knowledge, no ability to help. Anyone To Tonie configured this?

tida1 · Answer

I wrote above, these are not my networks ( only my employer's, I am now at work and here I connected the CCU) therefore I know nothing about these networks....

just, I have wifi passwords and that's it

So that's it for testing? So let's let go of poking around in the network all the more so as we won't be able to find anything without access to the routers. Well, unless you have another laptop on that network where the CCU is, run TeamViewer on it and connect to it .

Exactly, for testing only . I see that there is also a new soft/firmware, it is a file with extension *.tgz version 3.47.22 - do you have to extract it, or such *.tgz upload ?

Such as you download.

Updating the firmware on any device is dangerous. You can damage the device. Admittedly, in the case of the CCU3 itself, only the records on the SD card will be damaged and this can easily be flashed.

On one CCU3, it took more than 1.5 hours to prepare for the update (downloading and extracting the files), although it is usually several minutes. The culprit, of course, was an SD card with too slow write speeds. Therefore, I suggest replacing such SD card and by the way changing the software from the original one to RaspberryMatic. RaspberryMatic looks the same (because it is created based on the original soft) but has some extras. It is worth changing both the card and the soft.

I had an emergency trip and have only just returned, so I'm writing on the switchboard

.

I have corrected the title of the topicle in general about the update to make it more readable.

I have successfully updated both the firmware and the API XML soft and still the Mediola plugin, the firmware took about 17 minutes to update, so does that mean the speed of the card is decent ?

At the moment I still have the warranty, so I wouldn't want to replace the card, but after the warranty I may do so, I'm also curious about this alternative RaspberryMatic soft - what does this give to the average user ?

. Yes. All in all, I don't know if it has improved anything. . Read up on Github, you'll find all the information there ->

This is my question regarding the default IP address of the CCU3, as the PBX was not seen at all on my home network.

Unfortunately, my home router (it's a popular Huawei B525 and LTE access from Plus) has default settings in DHCP from 192.168.8.100 to 192.168.8.200, and factory settings after connecting and running the netfinder program showed the PBX address 192.168.1.107, so I changed the settings in the B525, as shown in the screenshot below, and here the problems began...

[img-0].

CCU3 connects ok on 192.168.1.107, but:

- Net on the laptop has started to work strangely, badly, there are frequent interruptions, lags, problems with sending/receiving emails, refreshing pages etc. - e.g. I can't add a photo to a post the first time, etc. etc.
- messages like "site unreachable" Connection has been reset. - need to refresh
-The access to the wireless thermostat controlled by wifi( controls the gas boiler) has stopped working, the thermostat is connected to the wifi network, but I have a message that it is "offline"
- From my mobile phone ( although it is correctly connected to the wifi network) I cannot
send any e-mail, I have tried from several e-mail accounts

Should I therefore return to the factory settings of the B525 router and change ( force manually ?) the default address of the CCU so that it fits into the pool set by the router ?

greetings!

. No. Restore the previous state in the router but before that, enable DHCP IP download in the CCU3 (so you don't lose access to the CCU). Now you have two choices: 1) Set the CCU3 address hard , in the same class as you have DHCP set on the router but outside the DHCP range. For example, you had DHCP on the router 192.168.8.100-200 then for the CCU3 set e.g. 192.168.8.99. 2) Another method is to enable the CCU3 to get an IP from DHCP but at the same time assign a fixed IP in the router for your CCU3. You then need to fill in what the screen shot shows IP and MAC address association. Then you can also set 192.168.8.99 or even some IP from the DHCP pool e.g. 192.168.8.200.
