Control BenQ projector with RS232

[benanderson_475]

Hi 

I have some trouble to send control commands ON/OFF to a BenQ MS517H usin gfollowing event based script. 

Code:

12345678910111213141516171819202122

require('serial') device = '/dev/ttyUSB0' port = serial.open(device, { baudrate = 9600, parity = 'none', stopbits = 1  }) -- get value of KNX object value = event.getvalue() if (value == true) then   -- send power on command with returns to make them stick   char = "<CR>*pow=on#<CR>"    port:write(char) else   -- send power off command   char = "<CR>*pow=off#<CR>"    port:write(char) end -- close port port:close()

I had an issue with benq once before, I think the solution was to replace <CR> with hex terminator 0D
Try,
char = string.char(“0x0D”)..”*pow=off”..string.char(“0x0D”)

Can you test the command by sending it from a terminal from pc
