Yuzu

[john30]

This is the 25th (="Y", therefor Yuzu) release of ebusd since it was completely reworked.

The major new features are mDNS-based device auto-discovery, the switch of default config path to ebus.github.io generated from TypeSpec sources, additional commands for device simulation and testing, as well as a bunch of bug fixes.

See ChangeLog and Wiki for details.

Debian 12 (Bookworm), 11 (Bullseye), and 10 (Buster) install packages for amd64, 386, armv7 (Raspberry Pi 2/3/4), and arm64 (Raspberry Pi 3/4 64 bit) are attached and will also be made available soon in the Debian repository as described here.

For convenience, an armv6l (Raspberry Pi 1 and Zero/Zero W) Buster image is attached here as well (not part of the Debian repository though).

Variants of each binary with MQTT support have an additional "mqtt1" (for libmosquitto1) suffix in the name, whereas those without don't.

For Arch Linux, simply run makepkg in the contrib/archlinux/ebusd/ directory.

The latest release is also available as multi-architecture Docker image on the hub with tag ebusd:latest.

Hi John, due to mDNS, is is safe to upgrade 23.2 to 24.1 without changing the configuration?

I am using a viallant heat pump, and ebusctl i states that the CSVs have changed:

update check: version 24.1 available, broadcast.csv: newer version available, vaillant/08.ehp.csv: newer version available, vaillant/15.uih.csv: newer version available, vaillant/timer.inc: newer version available, vaillant/yield8485.inc: newer version available

Is this due to change of location of the config files, or has their content changed?

[john30]

mdns is just a new option, so of course you can still assign the device string manually.

for the second question, see the changelog

Hi John,
is it possible to keep TypeSpec source file locally as in "old" version using EBUSD_CONFIGPATH parameter.
If yes I understand that all I need is in /master/src catalog.

Thank you for the continuous development of this project!

[john30]

the local use of newly generated csv from typespec is described in the readme

Hi John. However, I noticed the available update to the actual one 24.1 not before :-( About this I Need to know how the update procedure hast to be performed? Do I have to uninstall the previous version first? Or can I use the new version as with the first installation, i.e. simply overwrite the first version?

[john30]

that depends entirely on the way of using it, i.e. docker, local install, managed HA addone etc.
for debian package it works just like any other, for docker a pull and recreate of the container is enough

Hi John, I have a problem with running this version of ebusd with mqtt user's password option. I tried starting ebus as a service and input password in /etc/default/ebus file. Also I tried running ebusd directly from CLI:

root@wyse:~# ebusd --mqtthost=192.168.1.101 --mqttport=1883 --mqttint=/etc/ebusd/mqtt-hassio.cfg --mqttjson --mqttuser=ebus --mqttpass=ebus

But result is the same. Null password is sent to MQTT broker and connection is refused. Any idea where I make a mistake?
