OH3 - MySensors Binding

[syntacrsc]

P.S.:
Prior to upgrading from OH 3.0.2 to OH 3.1.0 everything worked fine...

[Chacha]

Hi!

I've upgraded to OH 3.1.0 from OH 3.0.x

Installed openhab-transport-serial and openhab-core-io-transport-mqtt in Karaf console with:

feature:install openhab-transport-serial 
feature:install openhab-core-io-transport-mqtt

Tried to restart mysensors binding:

openhab> bundle:restart org.openhab.binding.mysensors
Error executing command: Error restarting bundles:
	Unable to start bundle 29: Could not resolve module: org.openhab.binding.mysensors [29]
  Unresolved requirement: Import-Package: org.apache.commons.lang; version="[2.6.0,3.0.0)"

Checked that only org.apache.commons.lang3 is installed:

openhab> bundle:list org.apache.commons.lang3 
START LEVEL 100 , List Threshold: 50
ID │ State  │ Lvl │ Version │ Name
66 │ Active │  80 │ 3.12.0  │ Apache Commons Lang

Thanks

[Peter Loeffler]

@Chacha the log says it all: in OH3 the required package org.apache.commons.lang is installed with version 3.12.0

the (very depreciated) binding does only support up to version 3.0.0

the bug has been known for several months now.

there are 2 ways out of that situation:

a) if possible recode your sensors without mysensors and use Homie instead

b) get rid of the binding and use plain mqtt

this also applys to @syntacrsc

[Chacha]

Thanks @Peter-Loeffler !
I think I'll dive into mqtt than!
As I can see Homie is only for sensors. I use mySensors to control my rollershutters.

[syntacrsc]

@Chacha
Same here, I use MySensors to control rollershutters, pool pump, HVAC and solar panels.

Maybe we should collect some volunteers for a bounty to give to @TimO to enhance his beautiful mySensors binding to work with the recent OH 3.1.0 version??
@Peter-Loeffler
I used to use plain MQTT before I found the mySensors binding and don't really want go back to it.

I'd be willing to throw 100 USD into the bounty pot to enhance MySensors to work with the recent version of OH3...
(I'd do it myself if I'd know how to ;-) )

[Peter Loeffler]

@Chacha you are wrong: Homie is NOT ONLY for sensors.

[Peter Loeffler]

@syntacrsc well, for me it's no solution to throw Dollars into a pot that a community-based software get's some updates. either the software is state of the art ro it is not. and MySensors turned out to be not :(

[gundark2]

@syntacrsc @TimO My system just upgraded and killed all of mySensors, which is probably half of my system... so I would be in for $50 at least

[vores8]

i've managed to build new version from the sources found here https://github.com/nikolac/openhab-addons/tree/mysensors-oh3-migration

So far, so good - working with the latest OH 3.1.0

please download from https://disk.yandex.ru/d/Yq3gn8N7tXSQxA

[Dbagioni]

@vores8 just down loaded it and installed. Showing up online with my serial gateway. Gonna let it run but looks like it’s working now. Nice work, and thank you.

@TimO After my system upgrade yesterday the mysensor binding stopt working. after I replaced the binding with your new download, it started working again. Thanks, you are a real hero (at least for me).

Hi

Just tested out the mysensors openhab binding (org.openhab.binding.mysensors-3.2.0-SNAPSHOT) in the link provided by vores8 a few messages above.
Testing with the serial gateway, openhab 3.2 latest snapshot running pi 4.
Another detail for new users setting up by following the instruction, in the openhab install wiki (https://github.com/tobof/openhab-addons/wiki/Installation) here. This line does not work
feature:install openhab-transport-serial and feature:install openhab-core-io-transport-mqtt.
From other comments I found it is overcome by installing the openhab serial and mqtt bindings .

@ncollins said in OH3 - MySensors Binding:

One thing I had to do was explicitly set secure="false" into /opt/openhab/userdata/config/org/openhab/mqttbroker.config.

Please try that, then restart.

Just had a whole load of trouble getting the binding working using MQTT - this was the solution in case anyone else hits this!

For anyone interested, I just installed the latest version of OpenHabian on a raspberry pi and it is running OH 3.1.0. The Openhab 3.1 MySensors binding from the Mysensors website was not working (same error as @Chacha).

I have now installed the version that @vores8 has provided and MySensors is up and running properly.

Thanks for the help.

Hi,
just tested OH3 (3.1.0) on PI3 with mysensors openhab binding (org.openhab.binding.mysensors-3.2.0-SNAPSHOT) in the link provided by vores8.
feature:install openhab-transport-serial and feature:install openhab-core-io-transport-mqtt. done. It's all up and running . bundle:list shows all active.
But the "MySensors Serial Gateway" which I intend to use in OH3 will not keep ONLINE.
It always goes back to offline...

any ideas?

[TimO]

@forexsieno Is the device accessible by the user that Openhab is running with?

@TimO said in OH3 - MySensors Binding:

Is the device accessible by the user that Openhab is running with?

@TimO Yes it is. This behaviour is not reproduceable for me. Sometimes after reboot Serial gateway keeps online. in other cases it switches to OFFLINE. I assume anything is wrong with serial driver.

[Yoshu]

Openhab 3.2 now contains a community marketplace for bindings, perhaps the mysensors binding can be made available there?

[Jarosław Narbut]

Someone have working mysensors binding in openhab 3.3 ?

[CyborgAndy]

@Jarosław-Narbut Yes, I have.
