Re: Pulse Power Meter with OpenHAB?

Hi, anyone have a working solution to get the MySensors 2.x Pulse Power Meter to work with OpenHAB2?

Hi, I'm new to Mysensors and relatively new with Openhab and Arduinos/esp's , after only two days (yes, this is a good rating for me) of frustration I finally started to get openhab2 ethernet binding working with Mysensors ESp8266 gateway and am interested in adding power meter too. Have not had time to look closer, but after some searching around find couple of topics about this, mainly-
https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/3088/pulse-power-meter-with-openhab
https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/716/energy-pulse-meter-strange-behaviour

So if I understand correctly the problem is to get pulse count from Openhab to Mysensors node on startup.

I would like to try @joseraj solution BUT firstly I have to learn more about how to attach mysensors .things with .items file in Openhab, so reading here I guess and then here because I'm still not sure about that V_VAR1and V_VAR2 differs and so one.
If someone could help with some guidance, please, let me now.

Did you ever find any more information on this issue? I'm battling with this and i feel its something pretty simple that i'm not figuring out yet....

Hi, sadly I have not got any further, life got in the way, but I hope to start investigating this when I got more free time, not sure about @Dirtbag

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.
