Home Automation Thread (X-10, Insteon, ...)

[pomprocker]

I'm hoping to make this the main Home Automation thread as I've seen a couple of threads of people requesting support for this.

I have a DS209j, and I'll always run the latest firmware.

I've installed Xubuntu 9.04 in a virtual machine on my mac.

Following this page:
http://www.synology.com/us/support/3rd- ... ration.php

There is a document:
http://download.synology.com/download/d ... 0Guide.pdf

Following the document I've downloaded the latest toolchain from Synology as well as the latest GPL source:
http://www.synology.com/us/gpl/index.php



As far as usb to serial hardware goes, I am using this product from Parallax as it give you proper RS232 levels and is very affordable:
http://www.parallax.com/tabid/768/Produ ... fault.aspx

From that page I followed the link to the external FTDI drivers for linux.

I renamed the ftdi_sio header and c file to <filename>.orig and placed these new files in their location in the synology source. From their I followed the document and made the modules.

<skipping some parts>

Now i've got usbserial.ko and ftdi_sio.ko somewhere on my DS209j

MAKE SURE THE usb/serial IS NOT PLUGGED IN YET

First I did

Code: Select all

insmod usbserial.ko

then

Code: Select all

insmod ftdi.ko

NOW PLUG IN THE DEVICE

run the command 'dmesg' and you should see something like this:

Code: Select all

usb 1-2.1: new full speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 15
usb 1-2.1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
ftdi_sio 1-2.1:1.0: FTDI USB Serial Device converter detected
drivers/usb/serial/ftdi_sio.c: Detected FT232RL
drivers/usb/serial/ftdi_sio.c: Number of endpoints 2

drivers/usb/serial/ftdi_sio.c: Endpoint 1 MaxPacketSize 16384

drivers/usb/serial/ftdi_sio.c: Endpoint 2 MaxPacketSize 16384

drivers/usb/serial/ftdi_sio.c: Setting MaxPacketSize 16384

usb 1-2.1: FTDI USB Serial Device converter now attached to ttyUSB0


now looking in /dev/ you won't see a ttyUSB0 so you need to run this command:

Code: Select all

DiskStation> mknod /dev/ttyUSB0 c 188 0


All that will get the usb/serial converter working for now. If you reboot it will go away. There are files that need to be edited to make sure these settings are persistent over reboot. Not sure of that yet.

The X-10 device I got working for now is known as the Firecracker CM17a, and the HD11A/CM11A 2-way computer interface

Cross-Compiling Bottlerocket, which uses the Firecracker CM17a:
http://www.linuxha.com/bottlerocket/

Following the 3rd-party app integration guide; configure, make, make install. This puts it in your local machines /usr/local/bin. You then have to upload the program 'br' to your Synology in the same directory.

Set your cross-compiling environment variables to point to the toolchain you installed in /usr/local:

Code: Select all

 
root@xubuntu-vm:/usr/local/bottlerocket-0.04c# export CC=/usr/local/powerpc-linux/bin/powerpc-linux-gcc

root@xubuntu-vm:/usr/local/bottlerocket-0.04c# export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/powerpc-linux/lib"


Run the configure that came with the code giving it a few extra parameters as specified in the guide:

Code: Select all

Run 'make install' which installs it in /usr/local/bin on your local machine:

Code: Select all

root@xubuntu-vm:/usr/local/bottlerocket-0.04c# make install
/usr/bin/install -c -d -m 755 /usr/local/bin
/usr/bin/install -c -m 555 br /usr/local/bin


Now copy the file /usr/local/bin/br to your synology in the same directory.


Once that is running, you issue commands as such:

Will probably have to change the device in the config file to /dev/ttyUSB0 after you move it to the Syno.


EDIT: I couldn't get this working, but the ipkg of HEYU works great

[pomprocker]

I have an old HD11a which is just a re-branded CM11a, and I verified that it does work through the usb/serial converter I have.

Using ipkg I was able to install HEYU. They also have one called Ppower or Penguin Power, which I assume would also work:

Code: Select all

DiskStation> ipkg list | grep "home automation"
heyu - 2.8.0-1 - X10 home automation control using the CM11A
ppower - 0.1.5-1 - Ppower, short for 'Penguin Power', is a piece of software for controlling x10 home automation equipment connected to the comput

To Do:
I have misterhouse installed, I just need to get it to talk to /dev/ttyUSB0
I own a Powerlinc V2 2414u USB PLC that I need to try and get to work.

EDIT: I sold my 2414U. If I ever get another Powerlinc I would consider the serial 2412S

domus.Link PHP frontend for HEYU

I wasn't too excited about cgi/perl scripts, but I found what I think is one of the only PHP front ends which runs perfectly on the Syno after slight tweaking of the php.ini file.

domus.Link
http://domus.link.co.pt/

I was even able to create a 3rd-Party applications node for it to run embedded in the web manager.

Code: Select all

DiskStation> pwd
/usr/syno/synoman/webman/3rdparty
DiskStation> ls -laR domusLink/
domusLink/:
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root         4096 Dec 23 00:53 .

lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           44 Dec 23 00:53 images -> /volume1/web/domus.Link/theme/default/images

DiskStation> cat application.cfg

Misterhouse:
http://misterhouse.sourceforge.net/

I've confirmed that misterhouse does work with /dev/ttyUSB0.

I recommend unzipping Misterhouse in /usr/local

Code: Select all

DiskStation> cd /usr/local
DiskStation> gunzip < /volume1/Downloads/misterhouse-2.105.tar.gz | tar xvf -

Make sure you run the configure which uses h2ph. h2ph is just a perl script, but you have to make sure you download the your systems GPL source from Synology and change one line in the Misterhouse configure script:

Code: Select all

#cd /usr/include
cd /usr/local/powerpc-linux/include

When you run the script it will remove all Windows files and will use the C header files to produce Perl header files ending in .ph

Follow this:
http://misterhouse.sourceforge.net/inst ... structions

and this:
http://misterhouse.sourceforge.net/inst ... structions

In /usr/local/mh/bin create a file called mh.private.ini and add these basic entries:

Code: Select all

sound_program=
latitude=12.345678
longitude=-123.456789
time_zone=-8
city=YourCity
zone=SomeMajorCityNearYou
state=YourStateAbbreviation
zip_code= 12345
dbi_user=mhuser
dbi_password=temp1234
voice_text=
cm11_port=/dev/ttyUSB0
tk=0


Now when you start Misterhouse do something like this to run it in the background and have its output go to some logfile:

Code: Select all

DiskStation> cd /usr/local/mh/bin
DiskStation> ./mhl & > /var/log/mh.out

Now you should be able to go to http://192.168.x.x:8080 and access Misterhouse.

Please read the docs from here...


I've heard people being successful in adding USB Audio adapters to their Synology. I will try this later and add voice support.

Text-To-Speech

big achievement today...

I was able to successfully cross compile a text-to-speech engine called Flite which is very lightweight to run on my DS209j. This means you can use HEYU or Misterhouse to output speech upon an event.

Hi all tweakers and modders...
The past 3 years I've been following the development in this direction... Finally I see something happening.
I would like to express my appreciation for the work you guys do here. I'm not a programmer my self, but I am capable of following guides.
Would it be possible to make complete selfinstallable packages like the mailserver, with this work?
I think Mister house is the best application out there to manage the automation on a synology server, but what does your experience tell you?

[pomprocker]

I would have to learn to create easy to install packages...

I've tried misterhouse, and it seems like mostly bloatware...although mh has an insteon daemon which I would be interested in. I would have to get a different powerlinc controller though because I have the newer usb plc which i'm not using at the time but mh only supports the older serial PLM ones.

Right now, I am using a CM11a and CM17a for communications with Heyu I got from the optware ipkg feed. I cross compiled two drivers/lkm's to make it work on my machine. I using the Heyu PHP frontend called domus.Link, which needs some more development also.

For text to speech, I'm using a $2.80 usb audio adapter from JMTek, and I cross compiled CMU Flite.

For voice control, I am working on getting the bugs out of the cvoicecontrol source and making it work with my Syno.

Definitely setup ipkg, there are some good packages on there like heyu, and mpg123.

[redhouse]

Hi Pomprocker,

excellent post. I have been running Heyu and BlueLava for many years on a Cobalt Qube2 with a serial attached CM11A. Two months ago I purchased a DS209 and have just been looking for the exact same functionality in your post: heyu + domus.Link + iPhone. One of the things which struck me in the beginning was that the clock in the CM11A is very inaccurate. I solved this by letting the Qube do an NTP update regularly and once a day, through a cron.daily job, do a heyusetclock to the CM11A. Anyway, i'm following your activities with interest and are now looking to find me a USB/Serial converter which works with the DS209. Keep up the good work.

Regards,

Redhouse

[pomprocker]

I can vouch for any converter using the FTDI chipset. If it has anything else like Prolific, Keyspan then no guarantees.

I was able to successfully cross-compile and run Julius Voice Recognition Engine on my Synology DS209.
http://julius.sourceforge.jp/en_index.php

I am working on trying to compile Festival w/ MBROLA engine in place of Flite for better TTS voices. I am also looking at Cepstral and AT&T Natural Voices.

Another good program to look at would be DomotiGa + Gambas for linux HA.

[pomprocker]

FYI, I've upgraded from a DS209j which uses the PPC architecture to a DS209 which uses the ARM architecture. So for any cross-compiling I post from here on out is based on the DS209.
