Smarthome System "DIGITALSTROM" and BLGW

Hi, 

I will install the DIGITALSTROM-Smarthome-System (www.digitalstrom.de) in my apartment. Does anybody know, if this system in compatible with the BLGW? If the BLGW is compatible with DIGITALSTROM, I think of buying one and connect my B&O Equipment to the Smarthome-System. 

 

Thanks for your answer, 

Mirco

 

There is a driver in the external driver store

I installed it to get the data below

DigitalSTROM

This driver supports communication with DigitalSTROM system, allowing to control Lights, Light Groups, Shades, Shade Groups and fire global independent scenes.

Connecting to the system

Connection to the system is done via Ethernet interface. For achieving this, the following parameters should be provided:

Host ip: The IP address or hostname of the DigitalSTROM Server.

Host port: The port number where the device is waiting for connections (by default equal to 8080).

Login: Username on DigitalSTROM Server.

Password: Username password.

Important Note : DigitalSTROM uses a self-signed certificate, so in order to establish the connection with DigitalSTROM Server the box "Check Server certificate" on Connection Settings must be unchecked.

Available resources

The available resource types are:

Dimmer with State : Dimmer/Switch with state of GroupID 1 of DigitalSTROM devices.

Dimmer with No State : Dimmer/Switch without state of GroupID 1 of DigitalSTROM devices.

Dimmer Group : Dimmer/Switch Group without state.

Shade with State : Blinds/Shades outside of GroupID 2 or Blinds/Curtains inside of GroupID 12 with state of DigitalSTROM devices.

Shade with No State : Blind/Shade outside of GroupID 2 or Blind/Curtain inside of GroupID 12 without state of DigitalSTROM devices.

Shade Group : Blinds/Shades outside group or Blinds/Curtains inside group without state of DigitalSTROM devices.

Apartment Global Scenes : Fire Global Independent Scenes.

Resource Address

Resource address for each resource type is shown below:

Dimmer with (No) State | Shade with (No) State : Equal to dsID (Internal DigitalSTROM identification number for each device). Eg: 3504175fe0000000000182f6.

Dimmer Group : Equal to 1,, where ZoneID refers to the internal DigitalSTROM identification number for each zone. ZoneID = 0 (address = 1,0) refers to whole zones defined on the DigitalSTROM system.

Shade Group : Equal to [2 | 12],, where GroupID = 2 refers to Blinds/Shades outside and GroupID = 12 refers to Blinds/Curtains inside. ZoneID refers to the internal DigitalSTROM identification number for each zone. ZoneID = 0 (address = 2,0 or 12,0) refers to whole zones defined on the DigitalSTROM system.

Apartment Global Scenes : Not apply. Leave address empty.

Important notes regarding status update latency and end user expirience

Resources with state require a constant polling to get the resource state. Due to DigitalSTROM limitations, it's only possible to ask for one device output every 60 seconds per circuit (referred to the electrical installation of one fuse box). Because of this, the latency on the status update could be big and will increase with the number of defined resources with status on the BeoLink Gateway. So, it's recommended to use as less as possible resources with state. Regarding end user experience, it's recommended to use predefined DigitalSTROM scenes to change output values on devices (instead command SET) and use device groups when is necessary to change states of more than one device.

Thank you very much. 

 

Very cool. So I have to look for BLGW in the near future. :-)
