Can't link rfid node item

[ben999]

Hi @pansen

Thanks a lot for your reply. Ok for ID number.

Yes lock item is supposed to show status of the rfid lock device.

Here is the way it works for me :

• discovery of node via Paper UI
• i then "link" every relevant item of that node within PaperUI
• include these items in "home.items", "home.sitemap" and rules (as text files with editor, old fashioned way)

My item file

Contact salonMotion01 "Présence Salon" <motion2> (gMotion,gSalon) { channel="mysensors:motion:65885f11:Motion_1_1:tripped" }
Number salonBatt01 "Batterie [%.1f %%]" <battery> (gBattery,gSalon) { channel="mysensors:motion:65885f11:Motion_1_1:battery" }
DateTime salonUpdate01 "Dernière MAJ: [%1$ta %1$tR]" <calendar> (gUpdate,gSalon) {channel="mysensors:motion:65885f11:Motion_1_1:lastupdate" }
Switch activateAlarm "Alarme activée" <switch> 
Contact hallLock01 "Verrou entrée" <door> (gLock,gHall) {channel="mysensors:lock:65885f11:Lock_2_99:lock" }
DateTime hallUpdate01 "Dernière MAJ: [%1$ta %1$tR]" <calendar> (gUpdate,gHall) { channel="mysensors:lock:65885f11:Lock_2_99:lastupdate" }

and sitemap file (for iOS)

sitemap home label="Cheny" {
        Switch item=activateAlarm
        Frame label="Premier étage" {
                Text label="Palier" icon="office" {
                        Text item=salonBatt01
                        Text item=salonMotion01
                        Text item=salonUpdate01
                }
        }
}

Hope i got your question right...

Thanks for links. Yes it does say that openhab fully support the "lock" device...

I will have a go on openhab forum and report back here if success...

Thank you again

Best Regards

Ben

Hi

I found this... :
https://github.com/eclipse/smarthome/pull/2033/commits/008b4871ef308ae67400fe039e51e104fa061d83
But what can i do with that?
Seems to me that the file in question is some kind of install file that doesn't exist on my gateway as it is, right?
Thanks for your help

Hi @ben999 !

The fix you've mentioned was already merged into ESH and because of the date (23. Aug 2016) I'm pretty sure it is already merged into OpenHAB. So I suppose we need to search somewhere else.
Please dump the complete log (in DEBUG mode) of the karaf console starting from the presentation messages arriving at the gateway till the message in your first post. I'll then try to reproduce the behaviour.

Greetings
Tim

Hi @TimO
My digital Knight coming (once again) to save me :blush:

I logged into karaf (mysensors debug).

That is when powering my rfid node (nano 328+nRF+RC532+relays)

21:37:09.617 [DEBUG] [al.protocol.ip.MySensorsIpConnection] - Bridge is connected, connection skipped

21:37:29.619 [DEBUG] [al.protocol.ip.MySensorsIpConnection] - Bridge is connected, connection skipped

That is when playing with a valid tag :

21:37:49.622 [DEBUG] [al.protocol.ip.MySensorsIpConnection] - Bridge is connected, connection skipped
21:37:58.475 [DEBUG] [rs.internal.protocol.MySensorsReader] - 2;1;1;0;36;1

21:38:09.625 [DEBUG] [al.protocol.ip.MySensorsIpConnection] - Bridge is connected, connection skipped

And this is when i am in paperUI trying to link the "lock" item:

21:38:49.631 [DEBUG] [al.protocol.ip.MySensorsIpConnection] - Bridge is connected, connection skipped
21:38:59.360 [WARN ] [thome.io.rest.core.item.ItemResource] - Received HTTP PUT request at 'items/MySensorsDevice21_Lock' with an invalid item type 'Status'.
21:38:59.633 [DEBUG] [al.protocol.ip.MySensorsIpConnection] - Bridge is connected, connection skipped

And lastly this is when i "unlink" the "lastupdate" item and link it again. Dunno if relevant...

21:45:09.706 [DEBUG] [al.protocol.ip.MySensorsIpConnection] - Bridge is connected, connection skipped
21:45:14.418 [INFO ] [smarthome.event.ItemRemovedEvent    ] - Item 'MySensorsDevice21_LastUpdate' has been removed.

Once again, thanks a lot Tim for taking the time to look at that :)

Hey @ben999 !

Thanks for reporting and your patience!
There was a bug in the binding. Please update your binding via IoT Marketplace or by replacing the jar with THIS version.

[ben999]

@TimO
Smashing !!! You're an ace!
How did you manage to spot the bug? Was it just applying to "Lock"?
Anyway thank you very very much

[TimO]

@ben999

It was a bug in the description of the lock thing. You seem to be the first one that is using this thing type. ;-)

Here is the commit, I only had to change one word.

It was easy to spot with your help!

[ben999]

@TimO

Great job, thanks again :smiley:

I'm sure we all have weird setups :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

[ben999]

@TimO
Dude, it's awesome :)
I even get a slider in paperUI to control the lock as well !!!

BUT... (there's alway's a "but")
Auto-discovery doesn't work anymore :cry:
Here is what i get from Karaf when clicking on "refresh" (in Inbox > MySensors Binding > Search )

21:50:27.220 [DEBUG] [.discovery.MySensorsDiscoveryService] - Stopping MySensors discovery scan
21:50:27.227 [DEBUG] [.discovery.MySensorsDiscoveryService] - Starting MySensors discovery scan

No more hourglass... no searching...
Doc, i think we've lost it...

[TimO]

@ben999 :D

Well thank you again! That's an old bug and was totally overdue.
An internal cache that was only cleaned up on a restart of the binding was preventing a (re)discovery after a removal.

@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 ;)
