    I am looking for some advice please….

    A friend has the following hardware/software setup:

    RaspPi 3 running OpenHABian

    CGate running (ver 2.11.4) & Ser2Sock and is connected via serial via USB to Serial adapter to CBUS controller.

    OpenHAB 2.5.5 (previously 2.5.4) + CBUS Binding (https://www.openhab.org/addons/bindings/cbus/)


    Test Results/Symptoms:

    · Can use CGate CLI commands on RasPi to turn on/off CBUS lighting

    · OH CBUS binding doesn’t auto-discover as suggested.

    · OH static Thing created for “cgatenetwork” bridge & “cbusnetwork” bridge & light are Online

    · Lights turned on/off at switch affect the OH status for that light

    · Attempts to switch on Thing via Control menu (or via a channel assigned to an Item both get an OH error saying “Invalid Group” in the OH Log.

    · CGate Logs don’t seem to suggest that OH sent a request to change the light when it should have (I think !)


    Questions:

    1. Is the group number always the same as the light number ? Any thoughts on the error received ?

    2. There appears to be two way to defines lights, which is better ?

    3. Based on the suppled CBUS output how should a light Thing be defined ?


    CGate Config/Log:

    Is the USB<>Serial adapter a genuine FTDI chipset? Lots of the knockoff (<$10 on ebay) FTDI and CH340 adapters play up pretty badly.
