Install the adapter from the ioBroker admin interface (Adapters → search for "blustream").
The adapter supports two connection types:
- IP Address: The IP address of your Blustream device
- Port: TCP port (default: 23 for Telnet)
- Telnet IAC Negotiation: Enable if your device uses Telnet protocol negotiation
- Serial Port: Path to serial device (e.g.,
/dev/ttyUSB0on Linux,COM3on Windows) - Baud Rate: Serial communication speed (typically 57600 for MFP series)
Select your specific Blustream device model from the dropdown. The adapter will automatically configure the available states and controls based on the selected model's capabilities.
- Polling Interval: How often to query the device for status updates (in milliseconds, default: 30000)
- Reconnect Interval: Time between reconnection attempts if connection is lost (in milliseconds, default: 10000)
The adapter creates states dynamically based on the selected device model. Common states include:
info.connection- Device connection statusinfo.model- Device model identifier
commands.raw- Send raw commands to the devicecommands.getStatus- Request current device status
output.X.source- Select input source for output Xoutput.X.volume- Volume level for output Xoutput.X.mute- Mute status for output X
system.power- Power on/offsystem.beep- Enable/disable button beep- And more depending on device model...
network.dhcp- DHCP enable/disablenetwork.ip- Device IP addressnetwork.gateway- Gateway addressnetwork.subnet- Subnet mask

-
IP Connection fails: Verify the IP address and port. Ensure no firewall is blocking the connection. Try disabling Telnet IAC negotiation if your device doesn't support it.
-
RS232 Connection fails: Check the serial port path and baud rate. Ensure you have permissions to access the serial port (on Linux, add your user to the
dialoutgroup). -
Commands not working: Some devices require a brief delay between commands. The adapter handles this automatically with a command queue.
Enable debug logging in the ioBroker admin to see detailed communication with the device:
- Go to Instances
- Click the adapter instance
- Set log level to "debug"
- (Alan Paris) Every state object now defines a default (
def) value, so states have a defined initial value before the first device poll - (Alan Paris) Admin config: all device-model descriptions and option labels are now translatable and provided in all 11 ioBroker languages
- (Alan Paris) Added support for the Blustream C66 (6x6) and C88 (8x8) Contractor HDBaseT matrices: crosspoint routing across up to 8 outputs, route-all (
output.allSource), per-output enable, per-output PoC, and 9 presets - (Alan Paris) Added a dedicated parser for the C66/C88 fixed-width STATUS/OUTSTA tables and the
[SUCCESS]/[FAIL]command confirmations, so routing, enable, PoC and network states reflect the device - (Alan Paris) Scaler, resolution and audio states are no longer created for the C66/C88 crosspoint matrices (they have no scaler/audio path), so the object tree only exposes controls the device actually implements
- (Alan Paris) Added
protocols/c66.txtdocumenting the C66/C88 RS-232 / Telnet command set (verified against FW V1.0.1d)
- (Alan Paris) WiFi password state is now write-only (
read: false) so the value cannot be read back from the object tree once set - (Alan Paris) Removed the accidentally committed npm pack artifact (
.tgz) from the repository
- (Alan Paris) Removed unused state paths that were never created from the internal cleanup list, so it now matches the states the adapter actually creates
- (Alan Paris) Writes to all writable states are now processed in onStateChange; previously many controls (picture, CEC, presets, WiFi, standby, sidebar, layout, audio mode, per-LAN DHCP) were silently ignored
- (Alan Paris) WiFi frequency and channel are now sent together as the single command the device requires
- (Alan Paris) Sensitive values (e.g. WiFi password) are masked in the debug state-change log
- (Alan Paris) Polling and reconnect intervals are now clamped to safe bounds in code, not only in the admin UI
