### Short hmland HowTo: ###
-1. Install prerequisites: `apt-get install libusb-1.0-0-dev build-essential git`
+1. Install prerequisites:
+ `apt-get install libusb-1.0-0-dev build-essential git`
2. Get the current version of this software (choose **one** option):
- * Get the current version via git (can be easily updated with `git pull`):
+ * Get the current *release*-version as a .tar.gz:
+ 1. Download the latest version from the [releases-directory][].
+ Version 0.100 is used as an example for the following commands.
+ 2. Extract the archive: `tar xzf hmcfgusb-0.100.tar.gz`
+ 3. Change into the new directory: `cd hmcfgusb-0.100`
+ * Get the current *development*-version via git (can be easily updated with `git pull`):
1. `git clone git://git.zerfleddert.de/hmcfgusb`
2. Change into the new directory: `cd hmcfgusb`
- * Get the current version as an archive:
- 1. [hmcfgusb-HEAD-xxxxxxx.tar.gz](https://git.zerfleddert.de/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi/hmcfgusb/snapshot/HEAD.tar.gz) (xxxxxxx is part of the commit-id. xxxxxxx is just a placeholder for this HowTo, use your value)
+ * Get the current *development*-version as an archive:
+ 1. [hmcfgusb-HEAD-xxxxxxx.tar.gz][] (xxxxxxx is part of the commit-id.
+ xxxxxxx is just a placeholder for this HowTo, use your value)
2. Extract the archive: `tar xzf hmcfgusb-HEAD-xxxxxxx.tar.gz`
3. Change into the new directory: `cd hmcfgusb-HEAD-xxxxxxx`
3. Build the code: `make`
-4. Optional: Install udev-rules so normal users can access the device: `sudo cp hmcfgusb.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/`
+4. Optional: Install udev-rules so normal users can access the device:
+ `sudo cp hmcfgusb.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/`
5. Plug in the HM-CFG-USB
-6. Run hmland (with debugging the first time, see `-h` switch): `./hmland -p 1234 -D`
+6. Run hmland (with debugging the first time, see `-h` switch):
+ `./hmland -p 1234 -D`
7. Configure Fhem to use your new HMLAN device:
``define hmusb HMLAN 127.0.0.1:1234``
``attr hmusb hmId <hmId>``
+**Important compatibility information:**
+If older Fhem-versions (before 2015-06-19) or other software ([Homegear][],
+[LXCCU][], a real [CCU][], Windows configuration software, ...) is used
+to connect to hmland, the `-I` switch might be needed to impersonate a
+LAN-interface (this replaces the identity string HM-USB-IF with HM-LAN-IF).
+Software which needs this will not keep a stable connection open to
+hmland without this switch. It was the hardcoded default in versions
+< 0.100.
+
+This incompatibility is needed so connecting software is able to
+differentiate between HM-CFG-LAN and HM-CFG-USB.
