General question about identifying hardware

[sisao]

Hi,

can you please help me, to understand how hardware is identified and then linked to the corresponding csv file.

When I do a scan i get following result:

pi@raspberrypi:/opt/ebusd/ebusd-configuration/latest/de/vaillant $ ebusctl scan result
08;Vaillant;BAI00;0204;9602;21;17;11;0010019267;0001;006775;N3
15;Vaillant;70000;0419;4603;21;17;17;0020218357;0082;026972;N2
52;Vaillant;VR_70;0109;2903;??;??;??;??????????;??82;008408;N7

And in ebusd log file:

As I understand the log in vaillant/08.bai.csv is searched for a matching product, but because 0010019267 is not listed in 08.bai.csv no further inc file is used.
I extended 08.bai.csv with 0010019267 in the same line as 0010019268 because products should be very similar:

• VC DE 146/5-5 E -> 0010019267
• VC DE 146/5-5 LL -> 0010019268

But ebusd still not uses bai.0010015600.inc file.

Is my approach ok or is this the wrong way? :-)

Ah, I think it's working :-)

Btw. what's the meaning of "bai"?

[john30]

you probyble misspelled something in the CSV. and did you tell ebusd to use the local CSVs?
no idea what BAI stands for, guess something like "base application interface" as it is commonly used by many boilers from that manufacturer
