openHAB 2.0 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

@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:

so what is wrong here ?

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);
  }

@TimO Hey all, looks everything seems to work now, but now i have defined the bindings by the paper UI, and work with the rule definition as show by 'doctor64' ....
thanks for the help
Roger

[TimO]

@FusedHe3 Thank you for testing and your input!

The sketch you are using is representing itself as a RGB sensor and the log you've posted looks good.

About the fiddling with the .items file and the color picker: Thank you! That should'nt be needed anymore, I've changed it here: RGB-Test-Binding

[TimO]

@RVMRVM The definitions carlyler posted looks fine and I've tried to implement this logic into the binding so you won't need the rule anymore. Feel free to test my binding or stay with the rule. Hopefully both would lead to the same result. :)

[TimO]

Hey @doctor64 !

Please open a new topic. This one is getting really huge. :-)

Please check if the temperature channel is linked. In PaperUI you may do this by moving to "Configuration" -> "Things" and click on the sensor data.

[FusedHe3]

@TimO No problem, glad to help!

I'll try to alter the sketch and use the new version of the binding as soon as I have my LED strip running again.

[RVMRVM]

@TimO Perfect, is OK for RGB & RGBW... but now the datastring you send is a decimal string, not a HEX-string as they used normal, it is not a big problem to change this feature in the node script, if you want to have a decimal string.
How do you handle the white color, becaus this is not included in the datastring info. maybe by a switch and a other variable .
something like this:

Roger

[TimO]

@RVMRVM Interesting. Do you have a corresponding log for me?

Here's my test:

[INFO ] [arthome.event.ItemCommandEvent:43   ] - Item 'mysensors_rgbLight_8a7ca179_rgblight_199_0_rgb' received command 71,46,91

[RVMRVM]

@TimO this is the log of the node:

this is the result from the rule routine:

[doctor64]

Hello @TimO !
I delete all things and items (btw, seems like items not deleted completely, and re-apperas after item re-create), create things again and not see error anymore. Some black magic in action, looks like.
I will create separate topic if this issue appears again. Thank you!

[FusedHe3]

@TimO Just tried the changes you made. Color picker now worked straight away! :smile:

I also checked the sketch and it seems to be declaring itself as an RGB Light, not as a sensor. But could it be that what I see in the PaperUI are just the labels that still need to be changed?

void presentation()
{
  // Send the Sketch Version Information to the Gateway
  sendSketchInfo(SN, SV);
  present(CHILD_ID_LIGHT, S_RGB_LIGHT);
}

One last question: the Variable 2 not present error I get everytime a command is send, is that because those two variables aren't set in the sketch I'm using?

Thanks!

[edsteve]

Hi,

just a quick question:
OpenHab2 can be used without touching any code right?
I use mysensors serial gateway. Tried to set it up all day yesterday from skratch. Also with OpenHabian. But no success.
So it seems i still have to edit files and folders manually in order to get it running right?

I got Domoticz working after short time. Was expecting OpenHab2 makes it even more easy :/

[TimO]

@FusedHe3 Please enable DEBUG mode in the karaf console and paste the output around Variable 2 not present here.
