      I know this is an old thread but as you never got a second reply did you get sorted Tommy? I have the web front end running on a Win2k box but can't for the life of me figure out why I can get graphs displayed..

        Hi NickC
        I have just ordered the FHZ1300 to ad to my system.

        4 zones two rads per FHT8 thermostat.

        Have installed FHEM and tried to start, jusst to see if I coud become familar with the layout. When connecting with http://localhost:8083/fhem .. it asks for a password, I cannot find any reference to a defualt password. Did have similar problem ? if not do you know the default password ?

          Guys try this in your config txt file

          define WEB FHEMWEB 8083 global

          Then in your browser open you local IP, with :8083 at the end.

          Heres the best guide I found to setting it up.

            Hi Thanks for that allows FHEM to start up. But uncovers another problem. Do not get connection to FHZ1300

            define initialUsbCheck notify global:INITIALIZED usb create
            If I use the above get the following in the log
            2013.01.26 09:44:42 3: initialUsbCheck return value: This command is not yet supported on windows

            If I try
            define FHZ FHZ /dev/USB0

            fhem does not start and get the following error
            Can't locate win32/Serailport.pm

            There is no directory win32 or file Serailport.pm

            So I am at a bit of a loss, any help appreciated

            Running on Windows 7 and strawberry perl

              hi some further info

              It would appear requires a virtual comport. In the properties for the eLV fhz1300 driver in device manager, in the advance properties set the check box load VCP. Which creates a virtual comport. But the drivers are missing for Virtual Comport. Tried search for drivers in VCP no joy timed out.

              Searching found a link http://wiki.nethome.nu/doku.php/fhz1000pc which gives link to http://www.ftdichip.com/FTDrivers.htm which appears to be the chip manufacturer. Download their drivers but still did not install.
              Way beyond my abilities to get FH1300 working

              if I make any head way will keep you updated

                Read the article I posted above in full again.

                It will explain how to test if the device is working, and when it is working under windows, it will tell you how to install the serial port in perl.

                  Fon,
                  Went thro your article, when I go to device manager there is no com port. Only shows in USB FHZ1300.

                  When I set fhem.cfg to

                  define FHZ FHZ /dev/USB0
                  Chnged to ActivePerl

                  I installed Serialport with

                  INSTALL>ppm install Win32-SerialPort

                  Don't get errors serial port could not be found now

                  the log shows the following errors




                  2013.01.26 21:03:01 3: FHZ opening FHZ device /dev/USB0
                  2013.01.26 21:03:01 1: define: Can't open /dev/USB0: No such file or directory

                    Success

                    Here is how I got the fhz1300 working

                    Installed the supplied program in german

                    Went to device manager

                    Universal Serial Bus controlers
                    ELV FHZ 1300 PC
                    Right Click properties, in the advanced check VCP .. virtual comport

                    Reboot

                    On restart device manager
                    Ports (Com LPT)
                    should now show
                    ELV 1300 PC
                    right click update driver
                    Select Browse my computer
                    Navigate to FHZ1300
                    Drivers
                    On the supplied disk from elv

                    Click install next

                    Reboot

                    Device manager
                    Ports (com lpt)

                    ELV FHZ1300 PC should now show comport

                    in fhem.cfg
                    define FHZ FHZ COM6

                    comment out any other references to com etc

                    Oh one more thing
                    I installed ActivePerl
                    and ran the following command
                    ppm install Win32-SerialPort

                    Which cured the serailport errors.

                    Now All I have to do is to start to rename all the various auto added values in fhem.cfg to meaningfull info such as kitchen.

                    Hopefully this will help anybody else who has a go at FHEM
