How to use EnOcean Pi with

Raspberry Pi

Overview: Source: EnOcean Pi

EnOcean Pi transforms Raspberry Pi into a gateway, allowing wireless communication with

thermostats and

switches around your home, thus automating temperature and lighting systems. It provides a bi-

directional

radio interface and a bi-directional serial interface.

This document provide you a step-by-step guide on how to use EnOcean Pi with Raspberry Pi:

Step-By-Step Guide:

If you have an Raspberry Pi and an EnOcean Pi you can use EnOcean Link with Raspberry Pi to

compile the

code for Raspberry Pi. EnOcean Link is a powerful library for EnOcean Pi to handle packets,

telegrams and

messages received in an ESP3 Format.

First connect the Raspberry Pi and EnOcean Pi with extension board on Raspberry Pi as shown

below:



To run the EnOcean Link on Raspberry Pi, you need to download the EnOcean Link source code from

here:

(Download). After downloading the EnOcean Link you can compile it directly on Raspberry Pi or

compile it on

an PC an deploy it on Raspberry Pi (please refer: How to Compile for Raspberry Pi). Then simply

copy the

resource or use remote deployment, for the start you can either play with Hello World or one of the

tutorials.

For your convenience, here's the summary of the steps:

• Set up your Raspberry Pi (as shown above) and download EnOcean Link (Download).

• Now you need to specify the right serial port of your gateway connected to your Raspberry Pi, please

adjust the defines as below:

sudo chmod 777 /dev/ttyAMA0

Then you use this define:

#define SER_PORT "/dev/ttyAMA0"

• Cross compile EnOcean Link for Raspberry Pi (please refer: How to Compile for Raspberry Pi).

• Deploy the binaries (please refer: How to Compile for Raspberry Pi or copy. • When needed set the access rights of your gateway connected to your Raspberry Pi: sudo chmod 777 /dev/ttyAMA0 • Run it. Please remember to follow the licensing of EnOcean Link - Trial License Agreement . Enjoy. Makefile: This section will helps you to compile EOLink from the makefile.
