Mozilla Webthings MySensors add-on / adapter
-
Thanks, I have the timeout set (to 30 minutes) and it seems to be working, GREAT! In other news, it looks like they added metric to the gateway with the new release last night and all my temp readings reverted to 'Cent', the new default, until I switched it off 'metric', scared me for a second!

@rmalbers Thanks for suggesting the idea.

Yeah I have to figure out how the add-on can get this value from the gateway instead.

A bit of a side-note, but I've created a theme (the very first one!). It also adds thermostat setpoint buttons.

I been searching around in the forum but I cannot find a way how to send the Battery % so the WEBTHINGS will recognize it , can anyone give me a hint?
at the moment I report it in from my battery node with:
sendBatteryLevel(batteryPcnt);but I assume this does not get forwarded to the controller?
so should I send it as a separate "child node ID , message?
and which one would be most clever?thank you

@badmannen not even, was working with the humidity percentage so I kept the same for the battery :)

Interesting. I'll see if there's an 'official' way to implement battery level.
// Asked a question on how to implement it.

I just wish Mozilla could introduce some more settings in their web interface. Just to edit nodes and bring back nodes that you deleted etc, in an easy way. The easy interface is pretty and all but it would be useful with some more settings options etc

@alowhum did it your way and it works like a charm. 🤘👍🏻
I'm not sure what you're talking about?

@badmannen I'd love that feature too, but for now I think it will have to wait until Mozilla implements per-device settings.
Meanwhile, a new version of the add-on (1.0.2) should be available soon.
- Added MQTT topics support
- Cloning can now be better controlled: child ID's above 100 will be cloned out into new things.
- Better support for S_Power's V_Types.
-
Version 1.0.6 is up now. Like 1.0.5 it's a bugfix release.
1.0.5
- Fixed a bug that caused the WebThings Gateway to forget capability preferences.
1.0.6.
- It turned out that strings could lose leading zero's because they went through a function designed to remove zero's from floats. This impacted the Candle smart lock if users wanted to set a phone number that didn't start with a +.
-
Version 1.0.8 was released a little while ago.
A lot was rewritten under the hood.
It also allows a serial device to also be a 'thing' itself. This is because the Candle Receiver implemented @mfalkvidd 's code to show transmission succes and error rate.

If you want the latest developments if this addon, please use the Candle Controller instead of the Webthings Gateway. Candle is a fork of Webthings that I also work on. Going forward it's your best bet for updates.

@alowhum I see that one of the requirements for this new candle webthing gateway is "Sonoff Zigbee 3.0 USB stick". If I don't use any zigbee 'things', do I still need that for an install to work? I have mysensor things and native webthing things only. I lost remote access a month or so ago to my webthing controller (known issue but doesn't appear to be fixed) so I am thinking about switching to this 'new' candle controller. I use remote monitoring when I am away from the house to make sure the furnaces, etc. are working. Also, can I run my old webthing controller and this new candle webthing controller at the same time on my network while I get it going (probably a dumb question but I don't know)? I have another rasp pi I can install the new one on.
