Vaillant eBUS hardware adapter (ebusd software) Thread

I wouldn’t go with a cloned image, a simple setup script is sufficient. We could collaboatively write a guide. It’s been a year, but the general steps are

  • Install emonSD image onto SD card. This way all the nice emonCMS apps are also available. Can be found here
  • Insert into RPi, boot up & login via ssh.
  • Add the ebusd repository according to this guide. I’m unsure which Debian the current images are built upon, my Nov 23 is on bullseye. Install ebusd.
  • Clone the jonesPD github repo locally.
  • Modify the ebusd config to point at the jonesPD folder and use the appropriate serial device for ebus communication.
  • Optionally install Node-RED and configure a flow to pipe relevant values into emonCMS. This way, a standalone ebus-driven heatpump app could be configured.

Did I miss anything?
