OpenHAB

Ok lol find an link just putting up for others http://docs.openhab.org/configuration/sitemaps.html So far openhab looks really easy and a good layout. Thanks to TimO and other thanks....

@MagnusF YESS! It was the problem :+1: Thank you very much!!

@FredRoot According to this, it's not possible: In addition to configuring MQTT publish/subscribe options for specific openHAB items, you can also define a generic configuration in the services/mqtt-eventbus.cfg file which will act on ALL status updates or commands on the openHAB event bus. Yes. The messages are published if no client is connected.

Thank you

@jvdvyver This is correct. You have to define a static id in the sketch. The topic is defined in the item configuration in OpenHab.

@micah said in Can't get OpenHAB2 to see my MQTT messages: I'm still not sure if the second and third line in the mqtt-eventbus.cfg is correct. I don't have MyMQTT anywhere else, so I think I may try different combinations to see what works. MyMQTT should be replaced with brokername (mysensors in this example). openhab will then publish the event to the mqtt broker on its topics (useful if you use f.eks. node-red for openhab rules)

Hi, I have decided to use Network Gateway and not serial Gateway.

@Eric-Buhring I found that changing the line in the my sensors program that sends the message as below allowed me to use a Contact rather than a Switch if (value != sentValue2) { // Value has changed from last transmission, send the updated value send(msg2.set(value==HIGH?"OPEN":"CLOSED")); sentValue2 = value; }

@TimO Thanks a lot :) Having grown-up together with Windows got me used to reboot many time a day :laughing: I think i did reboot a few times last night but not sure about the timing though... might have done so for other reasons. I just gave up on discovery and went on with "manual mode" I will check tonight. Thanks @TimO for looking after us so well ;)

@TommiP From my experience the node has to be "rebooted" while openhab2 is discovery mode for new devices in that binding... Just press "rest" button on your arduino Works every time!

I have literally just got this working with help from some sketch mods found here: https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/3088/pulse-power-meter-with-openhab/4 I'm aiming to get this more available for us on the build page or even a link to my own documentation for it.

@matt-shepherd Never got the time to do it. Sorry

@TimO .. perfect thanks very much. this is the missing part.

I'd say to keep your current Domoticz install and maybe migrate it to mqtt and once you have everything running on mqtt you can bind openhab to mqtt and start playing with it without messing too much around. Once you are satisfied with your new setup, just switch off Domoticz

@gohan said in I have Vera lite but i like OpenHab.what i do?! :s: Learning to use Openhab is probably the most complex thing you will need to do 😁 Well that part im taking care right now. install ,configure, binding mios(or just abandon vera) ... I think that maybe it's not good idea abandon vera right now because its only 2 years old and once its not too old i don't need to buy a zwave usb stick. if binding works well and its reliably maybe i can use both devices because in 2 years vera lite never hangs not even one time with my 10 or 15 devices. How is openhab reliability? its binding work good (sync and updating devices?)

@drock1985 You may have guessed it by now but this is not the best place to ask how to use OpenHAB(2). I have lots of questions still myself so I can't help you but I am sure you can get your answers on the OpenHAB forum or here: http://docs.openhab.org/configuration/sitemaps.html...

@TimO Apologies for my late reply, I was on a business trip for a couple of days. Will check soon...

@TimO OK, Thank you !
