C-Gate on a Pi - Direct to RS232 how without using ser2sock

I've spent quite some time getting the Pis, CGate, cgateweb, and now libcbus up and running and I keep getting the same issues - it all goes to sleep regularly and the logic I use in Home Assistant fails.

I've fallen back to my trusted MSS100 which is a hardware solution for presenting the RS232 CBus unit onto the network, and Home Assistant works perfectly with libcbus, so I know the issue here is using ser2sock. It's just not robust. I've had the MSS100 since 2004 when I installed my CBUS system, and sometimes even that will throw a wobbler but I never used it in anger until now for Home Assistant. I've posted elsewhere on this forums how I can C-BUS controlling and dimming Shelly LEDs via home assistant.

My question is, has anyone managed to have C-Gate on a Pi directly connect to the serial port to talk to the C-Bus RS232 module without using ser2sock? I'm assuming that trying to set the .xml config on c-gate to /dev/usb0 doesn't work otherwise there'd little chatter on using ser2sock.

Thanks!

 

I've found CGate and ser2sock very reliable on RPI4 and even RPIZero with FTDI usb to RS232 adapter.
There is a bit of info here and a link to the source.

Maybe you could test the USB adapter with for stability running CGate on a PC.
Another thing to consider is the RPI power supply.

 

Thanks, This is using a new FTDI chipset adaptor (Sabrent) and getting the same issue. Power supply wise, it's PoE powered from the USW48POE and that tells me it's drawing 2.51W (using 8023af adaptor) so that should be OK. There's nothing else connected to this Pi 3.

I'm now testing lib2cbus direct to the com port, and not user ser2sock. Will run for a few days and see what results I get.

 

I rebuilt an old Pi 2, got everything working (after so so many failed setups), and I now have a full set of working steps. I ran it for 24hrs, and it worked perfectly. Unfortunately, the SD card was an old card and it died, so I started again butI didn't have every step documented, and getting a valid Node install has proven troublesome.

I now have a fully documented set of steps, but the issue is back for this latest install. When it stalls, restarting the cgate service seems to fix the issue not cgateweb. So perhaps the revision of java I'm using (whatever is the latest) is failing when talking to a serial port.

 

You have quite a bit more going on than anything I have set up.
Greig's script will automatically install openjdk-8-jre-headless.
Are you doing a fresh install following his instructions?
Then installing the rest afterwards?
Perhaps you are installing multiple javas?
There is an issue with the latest openjdk8 where it will not work with CBus Toolkit.
It may be worth checking if it applies to what you are doing.

Hey, @DarylMc Yes I noticed that TLS 1 and 1.1 were disabled in Java, so removing that disable in the java.security solved that issue, and the same again with Java 11 which I'm currently running. It all works, but cgate just goes to sleep, or something is happening, and if you try again say 30 minutes later it's back up again so there has been a timeout of some description but as of yet I don't know what.

Code:

In Java 8
/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-armhf/jre/lib/security/java.security
removing TLSv1, TLSv1.1 in the line "jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms="

Code:

In Java 11
/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-armhf/conf/security/java.security
removing TLSv1, TLSv1.1 in the line "jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms="

It's not ser2sock as it's completely rock solid with libcbus
It's not cgateweb as restarting that has no effect at the point where the system is not responding, only a restart of cgate kicks it back into life - unless you just wait an undetermined amount of time.

Next step, how to increase the logging of cgate on the Pi to see where it's failing. Open to ideas on that one!

 

/usr/local/bin/cgate/logs
log level is set in cgateconfig.txt and should already be at the highest level 9 by default.

 

Do you have CGate connected to the PCI then another connection to the PCI with libcbus?
I expect that would not work since the PCI can only have one connection at a time.

 

I have a RS232 unit, so using ser2sock to present that. I've also tried a Lantronix MSS100 which has been my way of doing things since 2004

I've been switching between cgate and libcbus to see what's the best approach but I'd rather use cgate so toolkit has somewhere to connect to. Yes, one or the other as I have one connection in.

I've now removed the JDK and installed headerless v11 JRE. Certainly having to enabled TLS 1 and 1.1 is very bad, I'm assuming we know that cgate should now be considered very insecure?

 

Hey, @DarylMc

I caught the failure again and have some log information.

At this point things start to go wrong

Code:

At this point is kicks back into life and it all starts working again

Code:

Here's the extract of the log at the time. Any ideas? Not quite sure what all of this refers to tbh
