openHAB 2.0 binding

[Samuel235]

@TimO - I have implemented a work-around for the issue that i was facing. OpenHAB just can't handle a empty MQTT message, so there is a fix for the pulse sensor to work with OpenHAB by changing the message that it send over to the MQTT server.

If you're interested in how this is done, please refer to: https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/3088/pulse-power-meter-with-openhab/4

I will be documenting this in possibly better to read steps for people when I get chance to finish the documentation to my new hardware node for the Pulse Sensor.

@LastSamurai
Hello, i'am trying to connect a RGBW node by the serial gateway, is there already a solution for the hexstring format in the bindings or do we need to handle the rgbw items separatly ?
kind regards
Roger

[TimO]

@RVMRVM could you give this one a try?

https://github.com/tobof/openhab2-addons/issues/76

It is not yet integrated into the main branch. If you could test it and give me some feedback I would be very grateful. :)

[LastSamurai]

@RVMRVM Sorry I haven't had the time to test anything yet (was working on another project). Might take me a while to get to.

@patrick-schaerer
hi patrick
i follow your guide with command to install MPC23017 Binding on openhab2
sudo chmod openhab.openhab /usr/share/openhab2/addons/org.openhab.binding.mcp23017-1.9.0.jar
but it not work and has information" chmod: invalid mode: ‘openhab.openhab’
then i take ":" instead of "." into account like
sudo chmod openhab:openhab /usr/share/openhab2/addons/org.openhab.binding.mcp23017-1.9.0.jar
but it same error

can you help me, please.
thanks you

[TimO]

@the-trung This thread is OpenHAB and MySensors binding related. Better ask here: https://community.openhab.org

In your case I suppose you need to switch chmod with chown. :)

I am trying to make use of the customSensor using org.openhab.binding.mysensors-2.1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar I see the node 12 var4 message arrive but it is not being assigned to my item; am I doing something wrong? I have tried both string and number item types.

edit 6/7: I stand corrected, the variables are being updated. I was fooled by the log. For some reason the log does not show the change the way it did it binding 2.0.0. I placed debug messages in my rules and they're updating.

[matt shepherd]

@TimO is it possible to configure using paper ui?

cheers
Matt

[the trung]

@TimO
I follow your guid and it's ok, then i checks karaf and see there
is this mean i installed my binding?
and i have question
did you fix error : Unable to install bundle openhab-transport-serial
thanks you so much

[TimO]

@matt-shepherd yes!

[TimO]

@carlyler thank you for filing an issue, I'll look into it.

[TimO]

@the-trung yes, the binding seems to be installed. Serial transport is needed for MySensors. I'm not able to answer questions about mcp binding.

[RVMRVM]

@TimO Hey Tim, before i start test , i have installed OH2.1 build #925 on 2 new W8 pc's.
download the org.openhab.binding.mysensors-2.1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar file and put it in the addons folder.

i cannot start the mysensors binding ...

i have installed it on 3 diff pc's, same result , can you help mee with this, i'am stucked ..

thanks in advance
kind regards

[andreacioni]

@RVMRVM

Did you run feature:install openhab-transport-serial, on OH console?

[RVMRVM]

Oh yes, i dit not, that was the problem, now i can start to test the RGB-RGBW , hope that i can run this
thanks for the quit reaction
Roger

[RVMRVM]

@TimO Hello, i tried the RGB & RGBW , it looks ok but there are no commands that been send to the node and this for every item, a'im new in the openHab world, so that will be the problem.
the result is the same for RGB & RGBW
my .things file:

Bridge mysensors:bridge-eth:gateway [ ipAddress="192.168.2.190", tcpPort=5003, sendDelay=200 ] {
/** define things connected to that bridge here */
light:RGBW_23_Status [ nodeId="23", childId="0", requestAck=false]
rgbwLight:RGBW_23_Color [ nodeId="23", childId="1", requestAck=false ]
dimmer:RGBW_23_Dimmer [ nodeId="23", childId="2", requestAck=false ]
}

my .items file:

Group GF_Living "Living Room" <video> (gGF)

/* Indoor Temperatures */
//Number Temperature_GF_Living "Temperature [%.1f °C]" <temperature> (Temperature, GF_Living)

Switch RGBW_23_Status "Living" (GF_Living, Lights) { channel="mysensors:bridge-eth:gateway:RGBW_23_Status"}
Dimmer RGBW_23_Dimmer "Living" <slider> (GF_Living, Lights) ["Lighting"] { channel="mysensors:bridge-eth:gateway:RGBW_23_Dimmer"}
Color RGBW_23_Color "RGBW Light" <colorwheel> {channel = "mysensors:bridge-eth:gateway:RGBW_23_Color"}

and my .sitemap file
sitemap rvms label="test rvms"
{
Frame label="RGBW Living" {
Switch item=RGBW_23_Status label="Button Switch" mappings=[ON="on",OFF="off"]
Slider item=RGBW_23_Dimmer switchSupport
Colorpicker item=RGBW_23_Color
}
}

as result we have:

and in the paperUI:

this is what the log-file shows:

[FusedHe3]

Hi @TimO,

I also tried the RGB Light and it seems to be working! (I am using Maghac's RGB LED strip sketch)
Auto discovery worked instantly. I did have to work with the .items file to get the color picker instead of a text input. I also get these two errors every time I send a command:

16:57:36.770 [INFO ] [smarthome.event.ItemCommandEvent    ] - Item 'rgbLight01' received command 124,89,100
16:57:36.809 [INFO ] [marthome.event.ItemStateChangedEvent] - rgbLight01 changed from 359,91,100 to 124,89,100
16:57:37.117 [WARN ] [rs.internal.gateway.MySensorsGateway] - Variable 2 not present
16:57:37.222 [WARN ] [rs.internal.gateway.MySensorsGateway] - Variable 3 not present

As I'm relatively new to MySensors, I was wondering if it is normal that the RGB Light Sensor channel is used for this. Or is this just temporary until an actual RGB channel is made?

[matt shepherd]

I've been trying to figure this out for a while. For me openhab discovers 4 things Red, Green, Blue and Status. These are all dimmers and I can't get them all to work together as 1 colour wheel? They all work really well independently but that's as far as I got. I've also tried the .items file but with no luck.

[doctor64]

Hello!
I just started to play with OpenHab2 and new binding? thank you for great work.
But, i discover some strange behavior:
Openhab2, ethernet gateway, 3 mysensor nodes, all nodes sucessfully detected and configured in PaperUI, but some data looks like not updated. Looking to log i note some suspicious lines like:

00:28:47.077 [DEBUG] [rsAbstractConnection$MySensorsReader] - 3;1;1;0;0;24.6
00:28:47.078 [DEBUG] [rs.internal.gateway.MySensorsGateway] - Node 3 found in gateway
00:28:47.078 [DEBUG] [rs.internal.gateway.MySensorsGateway] - Child 1 found in node 3
00:28:47.078 [WARN ] [rs.internal.gateway.MySensorsGateway] - Variable 0 not present

Sorry, i don't know how to dump OpenHab configuration, but item configured.
Any suggestions?

[carlyler]

@matt-shepherd What works for me :
items - just used 1 channel, V_VAR1, but you could keep them separate

String neoPixelRgb           "RGB LED string"                           (grpLighting)  { channel="mysensors:rgbLight:ethGateway:rgb01:var1" }
Color neoPixelColor         "RGB LED string"            <colorwheel>    (grpLighting)

rule

rule "Set RGB value NeoPixelStrip"
when
    Item neoPixelColor changed
then
    val hsbValue = neoPixelColor.state as HSBType

    val brightness = hsbValue.brightness.intValue
    val redValue = ((((hsbValue.red.intValue * 255) / 100) * brightness) / 100)
    val grnValue = ((((hsbValue.green.intValue * 255) / 100) * brightness) / 100)
    val bluValue = ((((hsbValue.blue.intValue * 255) / 100) * brightness) / 100)

    val rgbHexString = String::format("%02X%02X%02X", redValue, grnValue, bluValue)
    sendCommand(neoPixelRgb, rgbHexString)
end

parsed in node

  if (message.type == V_VAR1)
  {
    // Write some debug info
    Serial.print(", New status, V_RGB: ");
    Serial.println(message.getString());

    // starting to process the hex code
    String hexstring = message.getString(); //here goes the hex color code coming from through MySensors (like FF9A00)
    long number = (long) strtol( &hexstring[0], NULL, 16);
    RGB_values[0] = number >> 16;
    RGB_values[1] = number >> 8 & 0xFF;
    RGB_values[2] = number & 0xFF;

    colorWipe(strip.Color(RGB_values[0], RGB_values[1], RGB_values[2]), 50);
  }
