Newbie alert: sensor data not showing

thecricketer last edited by

I toyed around with this project some time ago and put it down but recently picked it back up. I build my first serial gateway (RPi) and also my first sensor was for temperature/humidity (Arduino Nano). I followed everything by the book and everything talks no problem. In the openHAB log the sensor is sending data every 2 minutes and I can see it updating. Awesome! Yay me! Here is my question. How do I “see” the data? When I go into HABmin or any of the UIs, if I try and add a widget or a gauge, there is nothing there to “select” or tie it to. No sensors show up, etc. I know it’s updating the data but what am I missing?

To add another option to this thread. I have not yet used them but I am collecting these. They look like they are made for these types of sensors

@ben999 Check out Serial Protocol I have four Arduinos. Each has a different MY_NODE_IDs (I use 130, 131, 132, 133). Each has four sensors: moisture, humidity, temperature, and voltage each of which has a CHILD_ID: CHILD_ID_MOISTURE is 0 , CHILD_ID_HUMIDITY is 1, CHILD_ID_TEMPERATURE is 2, CHILD_ID_VOLTAGE is 3. When an Arduino makes a measurement, it sends that measurement to a unique MQTT topic. In the case of the Arduino with MY_NODE_ID of 130 that is sending the moisture measurement, that MQTT topic is mysensors_out/130/0/1/0/35 and the message is [something like] 760 (35 is the value type) Similarly, when a controller sends a command to a device (Arduino), the topic is unique. If you have two actuators with the same MY_NODE_ID and CHILD_ID (MQTT topic) there would be confusion as to what you want each actuator to do. Likewise, if two sensors had the same MQTT topic, how would the controller know how to handle the data.

The 2.5-version of the binding does not work out of the box in OpenHAB 3 for me. 2020-12-22 22:53:34.555 [WARN ] [org.apache.felix.fileinstall ] - Error while starting bundle: file:/usr/share/openhab/addons/org.openhab.binding.mysensors-2.5.0-SNAPSHOT.jar org.osgi.framework.BundleException: Could not resolve module: org.openhab.binding.mysensors [272] Unresolved requirement: Import-Package: org.eclipse.smarthome.config.core at org.eclipse.osgi.container.Module.start(Module.java:444) ~[org.eclipse.osgi-3.12.100.jar:?] at org.eclipse.osgi.internal.framework.EquinoxBundle.start(EquinoxBundle.java:383) ~[org.eclipse.osgi-3.12.100.jar:?] at org.apache.felix.fileinstall.internal.DirectoryWatcher.startBundle(DirectoryWatcher.java:1260) [bundleFile:3.6.4] at org.apache.felix.fileinstall.internal.DirectoryWatcher.startBundles(DirectoryWatcher.java:1233) [bundleFile:3.6.4] at org.apache.felix.fileinstall.internal.DirectoryWatcher.doProcess(DirectoryWatcher.java:520) [bundleFile:3.6.4] at org.apache.felix.fileinstall.internal.DirectoryWatcher.process(DirectoryWatcher.java:365) [bundleFile:3.6.4] at org.apache.felix.fileinstall.internal.DirectoryWatcher.run(DirectoryWatcher.java:316) [bundleFile:3.6.4] I guess it might have something to do with this? https://community.openhab.org/t/guide-binding-development-changes-for-openhab-3-from-2-5-x/104134 Namespace change of openHAB core classes With the migration of Eclipse Smart Home to openHAB the namespace of all classes in openHAB core needed to be changed. This means all imports done by bindings that refer to org.eclipse.smarthome have been changed to org.openhab.core. With your binding code you can simply do a file level replace of this text string in the java source files to migrate the binding. On linux you can use the following commands in you src/main/java directory: find . -name *.java -exec sed -i "s/org.eclipse.smarthome.core/org.openhab.core/g" {} ; find . -name *.java -exec sed -i "s/org.eclipse.smarthome/org.openhab.core/g" {} ;

Hi @adds666 I did in between the switch from 2.5.12 to 3.4.4 a change from pure textual configuration in 2.5.12 to a UI configuration in 3.4.4. This requires some homework. Can't remember beside the exchanged mysensors binding files anything else to upgrade to 4.0.4 from 3.4.4 and finally to current 4.1.1. Keep in mind, I use a OpenHAB manual installation on a non-Debian Linux system, not openHABian. This may have an influence, but I don't expect any hiccups. kerberos

Hi @CyborgAndy many thanks for providing the binding update for MySensors 4.0.4! I upgrade my OpenHAB 3.4.4 a few minutes ago to 4.0.4 successfully with your binding update. I use a USB connected serial-gateway. The OpenHAB manual installation upgrade works perfect. I need to do afterwards the following steps in the Karaf console, to get the gateway online again, after the update: feature:install openhab-transport-serial feature:install openhab-core-io-transport-mqtt feature:install openhab-core-io-transport-serial-javacomm Many thanks again! kerberos
