DucoBox

Script to monitor a Duco ventilation system.

Installation

Every release is uploaded to pip so it can be installed simply by using pip.

# Python2
pip2 install duco.ducobox

# Python3
pip3 install duco.ducobox

Usage

After installation, the python module is available

  • as executable, to launch from terminal:

ducobox --help
  • as python module, to launch from terminal:

python -m duco.ducobox --help
  • as python module, to import in your script:

import duco.ducobox as duco

Stored configuration

The network configuration of your setup is stored in an ini-file. If the network configuration file is not found, it is created.

The script first tries to find all of the nodes in the network, by executing the network command. It creates objects for all of the found nodes. If nodes are found, the network configuration is saved to the provided network configuration file.

The network configuration file gives an overview of all the nodes with their specific parameters. These fields can be adapted for each node:

  • name: convenience name for the node (any string)

  • blacklist: flag to blacklist (don’t use this node) from the network (True, or False)

The rest of the fields should not be adapted outside the script.

Hints

Serial cable details

TODO: provide serial cable details

Allowing non-root user to access serial port (Ubuntu, Linux)

  1. Add user to dialout group:

Content for /etc/udev/rules.d/50-ttyusb.rules

SUBSYSTEM=="tty", KERNEL=="ttyUSB0", GROUP="dialout", MODE="0660"
  1. Reboot

reboot

Limitations

The main contributor to this project has a limited Duco ventilation system, with not too much devices:

  • DucoBox Silent

  • Humidity box sensor

  • Remote control on battery

The python module was not tested on other devices, allthough some effort was done in order to support them.
