The Gateway has 2 computer systems built-in: A Master Controller (Microchip 18F67J11 based) and a Gateway Controller (Linux Based Beagle Bone Black). The Master controller is connected with the Gateway Controller over RS232. The Master Controller has a built-in CLI interface allowing the user to configure and control the Master controller to his full extend.

This CLI can be accessed by using the Maintenance function in the OpenMotics cloud or by using a RS232 TTL cable (Baud rate 115200, 8 databits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no flow control) that is connected directly on the Gateway (the necessary jumpers needs to be removed to work properly see RS232)

Possible modes of communication:

  • Advanced Mode: API (The Master controller and Gateway controller will use Advanced mode to communicate)
  • Simple Mode: CLI (Simple Mode will be used by Maintenance mode in the cloud or when a direct RS232 connection is established)

Contents

Notes

  1. In CLI mode, characters sent through RS232 can be echoed (“echo on” or “echo off”). In API mode they are never echoed.
  2. Instructions are case sensitive.
  3. As opposed to API mode, CLI mode has a variable instruction length.
  4. Every instruction must be followed by a Carriage return (<CR>, DEC 13).
  5. Every successful instruction will return the requested information (or perform requested action) followed by OK, otherwise ERROR is returned (wrong format, wrong parameters,…). All error codes are listed in the Error Codes section.
  6. An instruction will only be executed if the Master has responded with “OK”
  7. To go from CLI to API mode type exit. To go from API to CLI mode type STRCM (capitals), followed by random characters until “ERROR 17” or “OK” appears.
  8. As of V3.143.3, some instructions that are rarely used have been removed to free up space flash memory of the microcontroller. All these instruction still can be done or by using "basic action activate ..." or by writing directly to eeprom, see Memory Model. Following instruction must be used to write to eeprom:
* "eeprom write ..."
* "eeprom activate"

can control erase [instruction] [ID0] [ID1] [ID2] [ID3]

This instruction can partially or fully reset the CAN Control module
[ID0..3]
These are the addresses (4 bytes) of the CAN Control module
[instruction]
Instruction ranging from 0 to 2
Instruction=0 -> Fully erase CAN Control = Factory Reset, all inputs and sensors connected to the CAN control will be forgotten. It will need to be removed & re-added to the system
Instruction=1 -> Erase inputs = all inputs connected to the CAN Control will be erased
Instruction=2 -> Erase sensors = all sensors connected to the CAN Control wil be erased

Example:

can control erase 0 67 15 20 231

Notes:

  1. The address of the CAN Control can be easily found in the "error list"
  2. When a full erase is executed, the Master will respond with errors since the module isn't reachable anymore, this is expected behaviour and the input list should be adapted by using instruction "input number modules write x"
  3. This instruction communicates directly with the RS485 bus and will not generate an error if the ID's are used of a non existing module.
  4. If Instruction=0 is used, a full erase will be executed including the virtual modules made. If Instruction=1 or 2, the created virtual modules are kept.
  5. If instruction=0 is used, the CAN Control that gets this factory reset will switch on all LEDs until the erase is finished.
  6. In order to completely erase the CAN control module without having to remove/re-add it to the system use instruction 1 followed by instruction 2

cli mode read

Instruction removed since firmware version 3.143.3
Gets the CLI mode value which indicates in what mode the Master will start (or after instruction “eeprom activate” or any instruction using “eeprom activate”).


Returns

  • cli mode = 255: the Master will start up in CLI mode
  • cli mode < 255: the Master will start up in API mode



current setpoint read [thermostat]

Gets the currently set temperature setpoint of a certain thermostat. The system has built-in thermostat functions, in total 24 different thermostats (0 - 23) can be activated. Every thermostat can drive 2 outputs; these outputs can be dimmer outputs (electronic valve 0 - 10V) or a relay outputs (or a combination of both).


[thermostat]
Number of the thermostat, ranging from 0 to 23.


Returns
[thermostat] [temperature]

Example:

current setpoint read 5 Reads the set temperature for thermostat 5.

Sets the current setpoint temperature of an individual thermostat. Setpoint represents the desired temperature. The Master has built-in thermostat functions, in total 24 different thermostats (0 - 23) can be activated. Every thermostat can drive 2 outputs; these outputs can be a dimmer outputs (electronic valve 0 - 10V) or a relay outputs (or a combination of both). Every thermostat can have 6 preprogrammed temperature setpoints (0-5).


[thermostat]
Number of the thermostat, ranging from 0 to 23.
[setpoint]
Number of the setpoint value, ranging from 0 to 5.

Example:

current setpoint write 5 22.0

Notes:

  1. The setpoint temperature must include a 0 or 5 after the decimal or the instruction will return an error. current setpoint write 5 22.0 is correct, while current setpoint write 5 22 is not.



date write [date] [month] [year]

Sets the time into the system.
[date]
Date (1-31)
[month]
Month (1-12)
[year]
Year (0-99)

Example:

date write 30 1 22 will write the current date (30-01-22).

Notes:

  1. When the battery is connected (jumper is set), even when the power is disconnected, the time, Thermostat setpoints and the light status will be kept in the real time clock RAM memory.

debug on

Enables debug mode. In debug mode, the Master will send multiple messages of the different states and activities while the Master is executing different tasks. Changing the status of the debug mode will not influence the programmed eeprom setting for debugging (see “Memory Model” eeprom, page 0) which is used as a standard startup value.
This function will also enable output debug (od) information telling which function in the system changed the output. More information regarding the od code can be found in the appendixes (D).

Notes:

  1. Enabling debug mode will decrease the performance of the system. Only use debug mode for throuble shooting.



debug off

Disables debug mode. Changing the status of the debug mode will not influence the programmed eeprom setting for debugging (see “Memory Model” eeprom, page 0) which is used as a standard startup value.

Notes:

  1. For the description of the decision byte, please see the Decision Types page. For the description of the action type byte, please see the Action Types page.
  2. Only use simple decisions when the basic actions IF THEN ELSE ENDIF can’t do the job. Please refer to the Action Types page for the different Basic Actions that exist.
  3. In simple decisions, the system value must be used to indicate the temperature.
  4. Brightness is stored in the system as a decimal value between 1 and 255 for every input module (every input module can have maximum one brightness sensor). If brightness = 1: complete darkness, if brightness = 255: maximum light, if brightness = 0: brightness sensor not connected.

Notes:

  1. After eeprom write the command eeprom activate must be used to validate changes.



eeprom activate

Many values are copied from eeprom into RAM to increase the speed of the system. If values are written in the eeprom by using the instruction “eeprom write” it is necessary to copy eeprom data into RAM by using this instruction. For more information regarding the eeprom values, please see the document Memory Model

error list

Returns a list with all input and output modules and their error state. The MASTER polls every module several times per second. Each module must respond promptly to the MASTER requests. With this instruction, the number of communication errors for each module can be displayed. If a module is not responding in time or not responding at all, the number of errors for that module will increase. The maximum errors that the system will record is 65.000 for each module.

Example:

error list
output:
00 I 066.244.122.189 0 No Errors
01 I 066.030.015.135 0 C No Errors
02 I 066.047.023.139 0 # of Errors: 44
03 I 073.062.031.015 1 # of Errors: 100
04 I 073.212.106.053 0 No Errors

pid config list

See the Thermostat page for the thermostat principles used in the Master Module
Gets the P, I, D and It values for every individual themostat. A PID algorithm is used for the 24 (0-23) built-in thermostats. PID is a generic control loop feedback mechanism (controller) widely used in industrial control systems: a PID is the most commonly used feedback controller. A PID controller calculates an "error" value as the difference between a measured process variable (room temperature) and a desired set point. The controller attempts to minimize the error by adjusting the process control inputs. In the absence of knowledge of the underlying process, PID controllers are the best controllers. However, for best performance, the PID parameters used in the calculation must be tuned according to the nature of the system – while the design is generic, the parameters depend on the specific system. Every thermostat has an integrated PID algorithm.
The PID controller calculation involves three separate parameters, and is accordingly sometimes called three-term control: the proportional (P), the integral (I) and derivative (D) values, denoted P, I, and D. The proportional value determines the reaction to the current error, the integral value determines the reaction based on the sum of recent errors, and the derivative value determines the reaction based on the rate at which the error has been changing. The weighted sum (“output” or “drive”) of these three actions is used to adjust the process via a control element such as the position of a control valve or the power supply of a heating element. Heuristically, these values can be interpreted in terms of time: P depends on the present error, I on the accumulation of past errors, and D is a prediction of future errors, based on current rate of change.
By tuning the three constants in the PID controller algorithm, the controller can provide control action designed for specific process requirements. The response of the controller can be described in terms of the responsiveness of the controller to an error, the degree to which the controller overshoots the setpoint and the degree of system oscillation.
To limit overshoot of the integral part of the algorithm, an integral threshold (It) can be set.

Time and temperature values are always in System Value format.



time read

Gets the time from the Master. The master is equipped with a real time clock with a battery backup (when the battery jumper is set).
[time]
Time in format [hours]:[minutes]:[seconds]
[day]
1 to 7, 1=Monday, 2=Tuesday,...


Returns
[time] [day]

Example:

time read
output: 19:18:22 2 (18-11-21)

Notes:

  1. When the battery is connected (jumper is set), even when the power is disconnected, the time, Thermostat setpoints and the light status will be kept in the real time clock RAM memory.



time write [hours] [minutes] [seconds] [day]

Sets the time into the system.


[hours]
Hours
[minutes]
Minutes
[seconds]
Seconds
[day]
1 to 7, 1=Monday, 2=Tuesday, ...

Example:

time write 19:21:55 3 will write the current time as 19:21:55 on day 3.

Notes:

  1. When the battery is connected (jumper is set), even when the power is disconnected, the time, Thermostat setpoints and the light status will be kept in the real time clock RAM memory.



timer queue list

Returns a list of all timer entries in the timer queue.


Returns
[Queue line] [action type] [action number] [timer input] [timer seconds]
[Queue line] [action type] [action number] [timer input] [timer seconds]
...

Example:

timer queue list
output:
000 102 005 240 119
001 106 015 240 035



validation bit read [bit]

Gets the content of the free usable validation bits. Validation bits (0-255 are available) are used in intelligent functions to remember a certain state (store is up for example).


[bit]
Number of the validation bit to read.


Returns
[validation value]
Contents of a validation bit can only be 0 or 1.

Notes:

  1. Validation bits are kept in RAM, when the system is powered off or restarted, the content of the validation bits is lost.
  2. Validation bits can also be used in simple decisions as well as in [Basic Action|Basic Actions]] (IF THEN ELSE ENDIF)
  3. To remember the up/down state of an individual Roller/Shutter in Large Installation mode when using Basic Action 103, validation bit 120-239 are used. To remember the up/down state of a Roller/shutter group in Large Installation mode when using Basic Action 107, validation bit 90-119 are used. This means that, when Large Installation mode is enabled, the use of validation bit 90-239 should be avoided.



validation bit write [bit] [validation value]

Sets the content of the free usable validation bit. Validation bits (0-255 are available) are used in intelligent functions to remember a certain state (store is up for example).


[bit]
Number of the validation bit
[validation value]
Contents of a validation bit (can only be 0 or 1)

Example:

validation bit write 87 1 will write 1 in validation bit 87.

Notes:

  1. Validation bits are kept in RAM, when the system is powered off or restarted, the content of the validation bits is lost.
  2. Validation bits can also be used in simple decisions as well as in Basic Actions (IF THEN ELSE ENDIF)
  3. To remember the up/down state of an individual Roller/Shutter in Large Installation mode when using Basic Action 103, validation bit 120-239 are used. To remember the up/down state of a Roller/shutter group in Large Installation mode when using Basic Action 107, validation bit 90-119 are used. This means that, when Large Installation mode is enabled, the use of validation bit 90-239 should be avoided.
