   1 This repository contains utilities to use the [HM-CFG-USB(2)][] (HomeMatic USB
   2 Konfigurations-Adapter) from [ELV][] on Linux/Unix by using [libusb 1.0][].
   3
   4 The HM-CFG-USB can be used to send and receive [BidCoS-Packets][] to control
   5 [HomeMatic][] home automation devices (like remote controllable sockets,
   6 switches, sensors, ...).
   7
   8 This repository contains, amongst others, an application, which emulates the
   9 HomeMatic LAN configuration adapter-protocol to make it possible to use the
  10 HM-CFG-USB in [Fhem][] or as a lan configuration tool for the [CCU][] or the
  11 HomeMatic windows configuration software, also supporting devices using
  12 AES-signing like [KeyMatic][].

  23 ### Short hmland HowTo: ###
  24
  25 1.  Install prerequisites:
  26     `apt-get install libusb-1.0-0-dev build-essential git`
  27 2.  Get the current version of this software (choose **one** option):
  28     *   Get the current *release*-version as a .tar.gz:
  29         1.  Download the latest version from the [releases-directory][].
  30             Version 0.100 is used as an example for the following commands.
  31         2.  Extract the archive: `tar xzf hmcfgusb-0.100.tar.gz`
  32         3.  Change into the new directory: `cd hmcfgusb-0.100`
  33     *   Get the current *development*-version via git (can be easily updated with `git pull`):
  34         1.  `git clone git://git.zerfleddert.de/hmcfgusb`
  35         2.  Change into the new directory: `cd hmcfgusb`
  36     *   Get the current *development*-version as an archive:
  37         1.  [hmcfgusb-HEAD-xxxxxxx.tar.gz][] (xxxxxxx is part of the commit-id.
  38             xxxxxxx is just a placeholder for this HowTo, use your value)
  39         2.  Extract the archive: `tar xzf hmcfgusb-HEAD-xxxxxxx.tar.gz`
  40         3.  Change into the new directory: `cd hmcfgusb-HEAD-xxxxxxx`
  41 3.  Build the code: `make`
  42 4.  Optional: Install udev-rules so normal users can access the device:
  43     `sudo cp hmcfgusb.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/`
  44 5.  Plug in the HM-CFG-USB
  45 6.  Run hmland (with debugging the first time, see `-h` switch):
  46     `./hmland -p 1234 -D`
  47 7.  Configure Fhem to use your new HMLAN device:
  48     ``define hmusb HMLAN 127.0.0.1:1234``
  49     ``attr hmusb hmId <hmId>``
  50
  51 **Important compatibility information:**
  52 If older Fhem-versions (before 2015-06-19) or [Homegear][] before 2015-07-01
  53 is used to connect to hmland, the `-I` switch might be needed to
  54 impersonate a LAN-interface (this replaces the identity string HM-USB-IF with
  55 HM-LAN-IF). eQ-3 rfd (CCU and configuration software) works without this switch.
  56 Software which needs this will not keep a stable connection open to
  57 hmland without this switch. It was the hardcoded default in versions
  58 < 0.100.
  59
  60 This incompatibility is needed so connecting software is able to
  61 differentiate between HM-CFG-LAN and HM-CFG-USB.
  62
  63 **Important security information:**
  64 Versions before 0.101 do not correctly transmit the AES channel-mask
  65 to the HM-CFG-USB, which results in signature-requests not being generated
  66 by the device in most cases. This can lead to processing of unsigned messages
  67 by the host-software. If you are relying on authenticated messages
  68 (with e.g. aesCommReq in Fhem) from devices like door-sensors and remotes,
  69 you should upgrade to at least version 0.101.

  75 ### Updating the HM-CFG-USB firmware to version 0.967: ###
  76
  77 1.  Compile the hmcfgusb utilities like in the hmland HowTo above
  78     (steps 1 to 5) and stay in the directory
  79 2.  Download the new firmware: [hmusbif.03c7.enc][]:
  80     `wget https://git.zerfleddert.de/hmcfgusb/firmware/hmusbif.03c7.enc`
  81 3.  Make sure that hmland is not running
  82 4.  Flash the update to the USB-stick:
  83     `./flash-hmcfgusb hmusbif.03c7.enc` (You might need to use `sudo` for this)

  86
  87 ### Updating HomemMatic devices over the air (OTA) (also for CUL devices): ###
  88
  89 1.  Compile the hmcfgusb utilities like in the hmland HowTo above
  90     (steps 1 to 5) and stay in the directory
  91 2.  Download the new firmware from [eQ-3][], in this example the HM-CC-RT-DN
  92     firmware version 1.4
  93 3.  Extract the tgz-file: `tar xvzf hm_cc_rt_dn_update_V1_4_001_141020.tgz`
  94 4.  Make sure that hmland is not running
  95 *   When using the **[HM-CFG-USB(2)][]**, flash the new firmware to the device
  96     with serial *KEQ0123456*:
  97      `./flash-ota -f hm_cc_rt_dn_update_V1_4_001_141020.eq3 -s KEQ0123456`
  98 *   When using a **[culfw][]**-based device (**[CUL][]/[COC][]/...**), flash
  99     the new firmware to the device with serial *KEQ0123456*:
 100      `./flash-ota -f hm_cc_rt_dn_update_V1_4_001_141020.eq3 -s KEQ0123456 -c /dev/ttyACM0`
