ebusd - eBUS daemon
===================

ebusd is a daemon for handling communication with eBUS devices connected to a
2-wire bus system ("energy bus" used by numerous heating systems).

Features
--------

The main features of the daemon are:

* use one of these device connections:
* serial (via USB or integrated UART)
* TCP
* UDP
* enhanced ebusd protocol allowing arbitration to be done directly by the hardware, e.g. for recent
* [eBUS Adapter Shields C6](https://adapter.ebusd.eu/v5-c6/) and [v5](https://adapter.ebusd.eu/v5/),
* [adapter v3.1](https://adapter.ebusd.eu/v31)/[v3.0](https://adapter.ebusd.eu/v3), or
* [ebusd-esp firmware](https://github.com/john30/ebusd-esp/)
* auto-discover device connection via mDNS
* actively send messages to and receive answers from the eBUS
* passively listen to messages sent on the eBUS
* answer to messages received from the eBUS
* regularly poll for messages
* cache all messages
* scan for bus participants and automatically pick matching message definition files from config web service at ebusd.eu (or alternatively local files)
* parse messages to human readable values and vice versa via message definition files
* automatically check for updates of daemon and message definition files
* pick preferred language for translatable message definition parts
* grab all messages on the eBUS and provide decoding hints
* send arbitrary messages from hex input or inject those
* log messages and problems to a log file
* capture messages or sent/received bytes to a log file as text
* dump received bytes to binary files for later playback/analysis
* listen for [command line client](https://github.com/john30/ebusd/wiki/3.1.-TCP-client-commands) connections on a dedicated TCP port
* provide a rudimentary HTML interface
* format messages and data in [JSON on dedicated HTTP port](https://github.com/john30/ebusd/wiki/3.2.-HTTP-client)
* publish received data to [MQTT topics](https://github.com/john30/ebusd/wiki/3.3.-MQTT-client) and vice versa (if authorized)
* announce [message definitions and status by MQTT](https://github.com/john30/ebusd/wiki/MQTT-integration) to e.g. integrate with [Home Assistant](https://www.home-assistant.io/) using [MQTT Discovery](https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/mqtt#mqtt-discovery)
* support MQTT publish to [Azure IoT hub](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot-hub/) (see [MQTT integration](https://github.com/john30/ebusd/wiki/MQTT-integration))
* act as a [KNX device](https://github.com/john30/ebusd/wiki/3.4.-KNX-device) by publishing received data to KNX groups and answer to read/write requests from KNX, i.e. build an eBUS-KNX bridge
* [user authentication](https://github.com/john30/ebusd/wiki/3.1.-TCP-client-commands#auth) via [ACL file](https://github.com/john30/ebusd/wiki/2.-Run#daemon-options) for access control to certain messages

Installation
------------

Either pick the [latest release package](https://github.com/john30/ebusd/releases/latest) suitable for your system,
use the Debian repository as [described here](https://github.com/john30/ebusd-debian/blob/master/README.md),
use `makepkg` for [Archlinux](https://github.com/john30/ebusd/tree/master/contrib/archlinux)
or pick the [package from the Alpine Linux repository](https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/package/edge/community/x86/ebusd),
build it yourself, or use a docker image (see below).

Building ebusd from the source requires the following packages and/or features:
* autoconf (>=2.63) + automake (>=1.11) or cmake (>=3.7.1)
* g++ with C++11 support (>=4.8.1)
* make
* kernel with pselect or ppoll support
* glibc with getopt_long support
* optional: knxd-dev for knxd support (KNXnet/IP support is always included)
* libmosquitto-dev for MQTT support
* libssl-dev for SSL support

To start the build process, run these commands:
> ./autogen.sh
> make install-strip

Or alternatively with cmake:
> cmake .
> make install/strip

Documentation

Usage instructions and further information can be found here:

Configuration
-------------

The most important part of each ebusd installation is the message configuration.
Starting with version 3.2, **ebusd by default uses the config web service at ebusd.eu to retrieve
the latest configuration files** that are reflected by the configuration repository (follow the "latest" symlink there):
> https://github.com/john30/ebusd-configuration

Docker image
------------

A multi-architecture Docker image using the config web service for retrieving the latest message configuration files is available on the hub.
You can use it like this:
> docker pull john30/ebusd
> docker run -it --rm --device=/dev/ttyUSB0 -p 8888 john30/ebusd -d ens:/dev/ttyUSB0

For more details, see [Docker Readme](https://github.com/john30/ebusd/blob/master/contrib/docker/README.md).
