I've been able to get MySensors working with HomeGenie using the MQTT gateway. It doesn't have two-way communication or software-based pairing yet, but I'll work on those in the future.
@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)
Ive started out with openHAB2. I was using a Ethernet gateway and tested the mysensors binding but found the combo was too limited. I much prefer having the MQTT gateway and the data be accessible to anything that subscribes, although I also now use openHAB to republish its item changes to MQTT as well which is probably a better approach.
I don't think the main new features in version 2 are very mature at the moment as well, discovered things for example get put in to a non human readable database and the web ui's are not fully functional.
With that being said I'm using node red to provide node ID's and configuring items manually and since beta3 it's been solid as a rock.
Actually, it's not 100% MySensors-related, but I have a working setup consisting of iBeacon (either HM10-based or PI-based) and Beecon app.
When Beecon senses the iBeacon it can trigger various actions, eg make http requests or call IFTTT recipes
@kunall the best recommendation against openhab for me was ugly interface and problems with running it (java). I was using domoticz since early version with own interface on arduino,now I've switched everything for MySensors.
It still lacks some functions but Inwait for further development as even programmers of domoticz start to use MyS hardware
@sentur since it was launched 6 days ago, I seriously doubt anyone has had the ability to try it.
Anyway, please don't post the same question in multiple places. It wastes people's time. Most users don't have as much time as they would like to spend on projects, and wasting their time by splitting the discussion to multiple threads isn't very nice.
