Unable to connect to NET-PwrCtrl PRO about iobroker.anelhut

Thank you for the logs.

I think I found the issue.
There is some code adaption needed.
I will give you feedback when the adaption was done and send you a url with the new adapter version for testing.

Hi @Xyolyp,

have you tried to use the default user/password ?
Username: admin
Password: anel

You can edit the credentials in the webinterface (Settings->User). Please use the first user (admin), because this user has all permissions.
With this credentials the udp communication should work.

You can check if you can recieve the udp broadcast on your debian computer with the following command:

netcat -vv -l -p 2078 -u

You have to replace 2078 with the port which is shown in the anel webinterface here:

After you have entered the command the computer is listening on udp broadcast traffic. If you change now one of the inputs/outputs of the anel device, you should recieve a message in the command line.

Thank you for the quick replies!
This is what my user settings dialog looks like. Notice the "Password for UDP Communication" at the bottom.

Using natcat I was able to receive the following message:

$ sudo netcat -vv -l -p 77 -u
listening on [any] 77 ...
192.168.55.48: inverse host lookup failed: Unknown host

Sadly in the object-tree I only get the Connected bool for the device and it stays false no matter which settings I tried:

Netcat looks good. Can you provide a screenshot of the iobroker anel adapter settings ?
Can you provide the iobroker logs of the adapter too (Iobroker-> Logs-> Filter source by anelhut.0 ?

[Xyolyp]

Sure, firstly the config:

And the logs:

H @Xyolyp,

i implemented a bugfix.
You can install the new adapter version from this github url please and give me feedback:
https://github.com/dan1-de/ioBroker.anelhut/tarball/proV3

Version is 1.0.9.

@dan1-de thank you so much reading data works now but writing sadly doesn't.
See the logs below:

If you'd like I can offer you to demonstrate anything over discord, teamviewer or whatever.

Hi @Xyolyp
can you try this command in linux shell please:

echo "Sw_on%relaisNumber%%user%%password%" | nc -4u %yourAnelIP% 75

for example:
echo "Sw_on2adminanel" | nc -4u 10.10.10.10 75
echo "Sw_off2adminanel" | nc -4u 10.10.10.10 75

If this commands are not working, then try without username and only with the password which is mentioned in the webinterface of your device at "Passwort für die UDP Kommunikation".

for example:
echo "Sw_on%relaisNumber%%password%" | nc -4u %yourAnelIP% 75
echo "Sw_on2passwordxxx" | nc -4u 10.10.10.10 75

We can have a online session too.
Just contact me via email: [email protected]

Br,
Daniel

Hi @dan1-de ,

Sadly I had to remove the 4 from all commands as nc was telling me it is no valid parameter. None of the combinations I executed resulted in any change to any relais.

I'll shortly send an email your way.
Best regards,
Jonathan

After performing a firmware upgrade to the latest version published for my hardware (Firmware 4.2 for Hardware 3.0) the adapter seems to work as intended. I got the firmware update from: https://de.anel.eu/index.htm?src=/usb-deutsch/Update_FW_NET/firmware_net-pwrctrl.html and had to disable my desktops firewall to perform the firmware upgrade.
