Thanks for the consern but i think it wil be fine.
but sinse you asked
it is for a interface between central heating system and thermostat.
the insterface is built up form several divices
i go from
Thermostat e-twist (R-Bus Protocol)
to
R-Bus --> opentherm gateway.
from
Opentherm gateway is sending RS232 signals.
from RS232 to TTL converter.
and form TTL converter to a TTL / TCP interface. (configurd as UDP server).
and finaly reading the UDP singals in Labiew.
now i can readout parameters from the central heating system and respond on it.
main gool is beter Room temperature management.
not one temperature sensor in the room but now i have 4 temprature measurments in the room.
better and accured tempratue control
also i can combine a SolarSystem and in the futere a Headpump.
the problem with al the divices is they have all different communicanten protocols.
-Thermostat
-Central heating system
-PV pannals
-Solar System
-Headpump
sure all munufacturers hava a handy app but non of theese work to gether.
yes you have all sorts of home automation servers and smart home systems.
but they give me not the freedome i need to combine all these protocols.
i use Labview for my work as a elektrical engineers. and i always sa to my colleagues.
Labview is a powerfull software/hardware platform you can do anny thing you whant with it.
so i am developing my one labview appellation and read/write my one data and plot my one graphs
than i can dicide wat to see and control.
it will be a big project a it will take me some years but finaly i will controll all whit labview.
up to now i have implemented in labview:
-my alarm system (Siemens S300 (ethernet protocol) PLC and PIR sensors)
-several arduino and ethernet boards for hymidity, lux etc.
- solaredge Inverter (RS485 protocol)
-Philips Hue (LED and lighting)
-X10 protocol for more relay control in combination with lighting.
-P1 protocol (smart energy meter)
Mbus protocol for some flow meters.
and now i kan ad my central heating system
finaly i write the inportand data to a server (wamp and MySQL)
and read and control some stuf whit it.
so lots to do, it is a intresting project and i learn a lot form it. 😊
it makes me a better labview programmer 😊
