I am waist deep in this project and not known to give up on this sort of stuff so I thought rather than post in the separate threads in this sub-topic I'd start an new one.
Here's some of the information I've gathered thus far:
Alsteon 0.08 source code is
here. This needs to be compiled for my controller which is a VeraPlus. PuTTY indicates it is f/w BARRIER BREAKER (Bleeding Edge, r39638) I think. So from what I understand the source code needs to be compiled to work on that f/w.
I have attached the initial splash page in PuTTY showing the f/w version and my feable attempt to run alsteon.
Alsteon Files for Vera are located
here. I have already loaded these per the instructions provided in the forums. The alsteon_instructions.txt in there has more information but it is hard to read in notepad and needs to be loaded into Word for decent enough formatting to make it readable.
I have created the PLM Device using these files
I have read most of the first four threads
here and have posed questions in each hoping to get information.
I believe I just need to get over the hump of compiling that alsteon souce code into an executable useable by Vera and it'll work but I'm not sure if that is all I need to do. I at least need to get beyond the this part to test further. Vera UI7 cannot connect to the PLM because I don't have something set up correctly.
I am wondering if maybe I need to change some permissions for alsteon?
When I click on Connections in the Device page for the PLM I a failure to serial connect error.
I have also started a separate thread
here looking for alternate solutions.
TIA for any assistance you can lend in this matter.
