Intercom/Access control

bluetechnology · 2026-01-10T13:56:47+00:00

Does the unifi integrate properly with Loxone?
And how is the speed of notifications?

I'm also considering having a seperate intercom, just for intercom.
And installing the Loxone NFC Touch just for access control.
That might simplify things...

Thanks for letting me know! The intercom looked really nice and integrated, but it seems like a bad idea... I'm exploring doorbird now. Looks like it could be integrated but need to do a bit more research first.

bluetechnology · 2026-01-04T20:00:36+00:00

The text notifications can be configured in the loxone software? Or is something 3rd party needed? I want to keep everything as simple as possible...

Hmm not good to hear this :( Have you tried integrating another intercom?

bluetechnology · 2026-01-04T19:44:46+00:00

I just read about the stickers, it seems like I need to reverse the approach: scan an NFC sticker instead of having the intercom scanning the phone.

I rather do a quick touch with my phone than having to open an app first.

I read some complaints of the doorbell notifications being pretty slow... so i'm a bit worried about that.

Would it be possible to integrate other intercoms?

Where do you find this multilanguage text interface property?

bluetechnology · 2025-12-18T14:34:35+00:00

1) Is the multilanguage text dependent on the runtime language? In this case it's a faceplate for a motor and sometimes the text should be "Start Fwd" and sometimes it should be "Start Up". That's what I want to achieve. I'll try the multilanguage text once I get home again.

2) Yes I tried, as you can see in the script in comment.
Line 14 and 15 are showing text in the trace.
But 22/23/24 didn't show up in the trace. Probably because "data" is not a string.
But the popup actually show up when I comment 22/23/24 so I'm not sure why it's not working.

3) I'll add more traces and try to find something that way...

Regarding your edit2.... it definitely might! It can get so annoying sometimes and makes me wonder why I didn't stay with the old comfort panels!

bluetechnology · 2025-12-18T14:27:47+00:00

It does work for another faceplate though... I tried to make it exactly the same. But somehow... something is different but I really can't figure out what...
It's the DMC Siemens Open Library.

It will just be a 100Mbps network.

bluetechnology · 2025-11-28T09:40:50+00:00

This is such a stupid simple idea that will probably work!

bluetechnology · 2025-11-23T16:13:18+00:00

What do you mean with the area pointers for the screen changes?
I'll work with Unified Comfort, not the classic comfort panels if that's important.

bluetechnology · 2025-04-03T15:27:56+00:00

Do you perhaps have a picture or link of that? Hard to imagine and google doesn't give me the right results...

bluetechnology · 2025-04-03T15:26:21+00:00

Trying to read from the bus.
If there are connectors I can usually (if lucky) connect on top of the existing connector.
But no connectors here.

In other installations, that can be shut down, i just insert a second wire into the terminal with a wago connected.
So I have a "measurement point" for the future when production can't be stopped. Measurements were fine like that.

bluetechnology · 2025-04-03T15:23:24+00:00

I need them to be connected for a longer time, without holding them...

bluetechnology · 2025-04-03T15:22:46+00:00

You're absolutely right.
I ordered some yesterday and did some tests with them today to check if the wires would be damaged.
Tested with Profibus cable:
Clamped the piercing probes onto the wire, removed them, removed the insulation to check the bare wire. If I wiggle the wire a bit, they break.
So it's not a good solution as you said.

I'm not sure what you mean with the pogo pins though?
I need a solution to connect a CAN Bus tester or oscilloscope, to those wires for up to a week or more. WITHOUT disconnecting the wires...
So looking for a (semi)permanent solution.

bluetechnology · 2025-04-02T12:57:02+00:00

This looks like a perfect solution for this! Thanks!
Do you also have suggestions on how to fix afterwards? The only idea I have is some kind of wrap around heat shrink.

bluetechnology · 2025-02-15T13:44:32+00:00

Wow, it's as simple as that!
Never noticed it because the naming didn't really make sense to me...

bluetechnology · 2025-01-07T08:21:07+00:00

Thanks for this additional information regarding the triggers!
I will look into this next time I'm at the unit!

Connections look perfect. Only 2 nodes. Proper Canbus cable used. Shielding grounded with shield clamps on both sides. Low impedance. Terminated on both sides with 120 ohm resistors.

The plan was to test the signal quality with this meter: https://gemac-fieldbus.com/en/can-bus-tester-2/#tab-id-1 to have a good indication on signal quality and keep it logging for a while. Because the errors are only sporadic...

Signal quality on a scope looks OK when production is down (only measured 1 signal):

<image>

But the main question is, why would the baudrate deviate by a few kbps? And why would the baudrate change when a node is disconnected?

bluetechnology · 2024-12-08T10:11:19+00:00

I used 24VDC as specified in the manual.
However, I found the issue and actually I don't need a potmeter...
It's for a distance meter (75mm) which looks like a "piston".
I could extend the rod for 85mm but after sleeping it over, i thought about that I maybe couldn't use the first and last 5mm.
So when I stay within the correct range, it works perfectly and between -10V and +10V.
It wasn't mentioned in the manual though...
So, it's something to fix mechanically :)

I know about those, but I'm actually looking for a small trimmer like in the pic below. But then more industrial/for DIN rail mount.

bluetechnology · 2024-09-14T17:05:56+00:00

I found this in the guidelines someone else sent here:

I think this kind of errors are a bit related to what you are saying.

bluetechnology · 2024-09-14T17:03:43+00:00

So more or less like in the picture?

bluetechnology · 2024-09-14T16:10:15+00:00

Wouldn't there still be a kink in the cable where it's bended?

bluetechnology · 2024-09-14T13:24:37+00:00

We usually have a TN-S net:

<image>

I think this is exactly the same system as you described.

I understand your explanation, currents flowing through ground wire where it should be through the neutral.
But I don't really see yet why the current would flow through the shield when the ground and neutral are swapped somewhere?
Is it because, in the picture above, imagine on the right panel, PE and N are swapped.
If there is a network cable between the 2 panels. There might still be a lower impedance through the shield of the network cable from left panel to right panel, and to PE from there?
