HmIP-RFUSB not detected / working

GerryHarrison opened this issue · 3 comments

Just installed piVCCU (following the official steps of the manual installation from HERE). on a fresh Raspberry Pi OS Bullseye installation (also fresh) on a Raspi 4 8GB.

Now I can't get my HmIP-RFUSB working. The dongle is installed via a small USB extension cord. Also tried USB3 port as well as USB2 port. On the previous installation on the same Raspi, same setup, it worked.

When I enter sudo dpkg-reconfigure pivccu3 I get:
Stop piVCCU ... Done
Disable services ... Done
Remove symlinks ... Done
Reload udev rules ... Done
Create symlinks ... Done
Enable services ... Done
Update APT repository config ... FAILED

First question: is this then more a access right issue = software? I suppose so, but don't know what to do here.

Thank you in advance for any hints & tips!

According to your output of pivccu-info the stick is detected. Please describe your issues with the stick.
If just Homematic classic/BidCos is not working: The Telekom version of the stick does only support HmIP (as stated in the Readme).

And if it is not working with HmIP as well: The Pi 4 creates a lot of radio interference which affects HmIP. Only solution for that is a distance of at least 1m between the Pi and the stick.

Thank you for the quick reply. I totally mixed up HmIP and HmRF and that it said "emulated" - thought it was the USB device and even didn't test it (supposed it wouldn't work). Your replies made it clear to me. It works, all good.
