Hi Gabriel,

You can find most of the information in the articles on inputs and outputs in the products section on our KnowledgeBase.

Below you will find the answers to your questions:

What are the use cases of these relays? Is it dangerous to use these common relays with outputs having different power supplies?

• It depends on the specific circuit connection, but in most cases such a connection is undesirable.

Finally, is it recommended for safety reason to use a different power source between the unipi power supply and the dry contact equipment (in input) ?

• Yes

Hello everybody,

we have good news!
All packages from the Unipi repository already have their version for Bullseye (Debian 11).

Unfortunately it took a little longer as it was not as easy as it first seemed, but now our packages can be used on all Unipi controllers with Debian 11.

We are now working on Bullseye OS images that we will release in the coming months. OS images will not be released immediately because we are working on a new unified approach to information about the controller and its peripherals.

For Unipi Neuron and Unipi 1.1 it is now possible to use the RaspberryPi OS image.

Best regards,
Antonin

Hi @kepi

you can try the latest Opensource OS or Node-RED OS image for the Axon series.

Then install (or update) the unipi-firmware6 package and try to update the firmware.

If that doesn't help, you can send the controller to the Unipi service center for diagnostics.

Best regards,

Hi @iVar,

All images must be in the Resources directory, otherwise they are not available, please see screenshot.

Hi @t-kavan,

We have already encountered this, unfortunately this meter does not wait for the prescribed time and responds too quickly, so that the RS485 (transmit/receive) state in the controller does not have enough time to change.

The RS485 behaviour was modified in later versions of the debian packages. With the current OS image the PRO380-MB meter are already working.

Hi @lukas009

Thank you for your feedback, I have already replaced the old links with new ones. During the day we will adjust the look and add more information to the page.

The documentation department misunderstood the information and only processed the pages for Base OS, not Node-RED OS.

Best regards,
Antonin, Unipi team

Hi @domguard,

The mentioned problems should not be related to EVOK at all. It's not clear from your description what kind of controller you have or what you actually need. Do you need to connect to an existing WiFi, or do you want to create a WiFi access point from the controller?

But EVOK works normally, right?

Best regards,
Antonin, Unipi team

Hello PEPITO82,

The RPi CM4 is currently not an officially supported platform. However, according to my information, should be mostly compatible with "standard" RPi.

One option may be to use the RaspberryPi OS image and install the necessary components: EVOK, Node-RED.

If you also want so-called Unipi nodes for communication with inputs and outputs, which are available in our Node-RED OS image, just add a suitable module from the palette to Node-RED.

Best regards,
Antonin

Hi everyone,

In these cases, this guide can help: https://kb.unipi.technology/en:sw:01-mervis:automatic-restart-of-1-wire-hidden

Unfortunately, if you have improperly processed cabling, or if you have a large number of sensors connected to this bus, you cannot achieve the desired stability, because the 1-Wire bus is very sensitive to interference.

In this case, I recommend checking the wiring to make sure you have all unused wires and the cable shield connected to the ground terminal. Next, check the length of the bus and the number of sensors on the bus.

An alternative to this connection is also the connection of sensors via Extension xG18, which has 8 separate 1W channels, each reserved for one sensor. Perhaps the only disadvantage of this module is that it is possible to connect only sensors DS18b20 and supporting parasitic power.

Finally, I also recommend reading this article about 1-Wire: https://kb.unipi.technology/en:automation:02-glossary:1wire-hidden

Hi everyone,

Currently this is possible by flashing Mervis OS and then installing Node-RED following the standard installation instructions: https://nodered.org/docs/getting-started/raspberrypi

However, this solution is not tested and we cannot guarantee that the Mervis RT will behave correctly if other such demanding SW is running on the controller.

Hi @Vesa-Kauppinen,

try apt update && apt upgrade again.
We made some adjustments due to the new Unipi Iris HW, but this should work fine now.

Best regards,
