OH3 - MySensors Binding

[haloway13]

@ncollins

I could not have done it without you! I really appreciate the feedback and continued support. I would not have continued without it.

Now... to get the darn data to display both in C and F. I am missing something conceptually.

I should probably do this in another thread after I completely document all the steps I have done for posterity.

Thanks again!

@haloway13 oooof, I found that to be confusing too.

If your platform settings Settings -> Regional Settings [advanced] -> Metric / Imperial are set,

and you define your items as Number:Temperature, they should "magically" display in the correct format and auto converted, but I've had a lot of trouble with that.

There are also settings to have the gateway confirm "isMetric" and have you node respond in the appropriate unit.

Lastly, in your item definition, you can "Add Metadata" -> State Description, and set a display format that supposedly converts value, but I'm not sure I understand exactly when it's suppose to override platform settings.

More info here: https://community.openhab.org/t/solved-the-right-place-to-do-temperature-conversion/91233

@ncollins

You are correct about magic supposing to happen when adding an item with:

Number:Temperature with the correct regional imperial vs metric chosen.

I think the confusion is that the number gets converted but the units need to be overriden with metadata so that it makes sense.

Does that jive with what you understand?

Also, it is interesting that the metadata is defined at item/channel link time?

[ncollins]

@haloway13 I really don't have an understanding of how it works. I'm not sure how OpenHAB knows when to convert a value from a sensor reading?

• When you set the platform level metric/imperial setting, is that establishing the assumption that all sensor values are metric/imperial?
• If the metadata override for a Number:Temperature doesn't match the platform setting, is openhab smart enough to do the conversion?
• When updating the metadata, does that convert the current value or only updates after setting the metadata?

In my limited experiments, changing the metadata just seems to change the label suffix to ˚C or ˚F

Hi,

I just upgraded Linux Openhab version from "openHAB 3.1.0.M2" to "openHAB 3.1.0.M3". Since upgrade I cannot use / activate MySensors binding anymore (it worked in previous version - M2).
I cleaned openhab cache, rebooted computer; feature:install openhab-transport-serial and feature:install openhab-core-io-transport-mqtt are properly installed and active. When I place Mysensors.jar to Addons folder the file gets recognized but it is listed only as Installed, not active.

openhab> bundle:list | grep MySensors
266 x Installed x  80 x 3.1.0.202012312203      x openHAB Add-ons :: Bundles :: MySensors Binding

Log shows following error:

 [WARN ] [org.apache.felix.fileinstall         ] - Error while starting bundle: file:/usr/share/openhab/addons/org.openhab.binding.mysensors-3.1.0.jar

Does anyone know how to resolve this issue / install missing requirement?

@niccodemi
same problem here

I've solved the dependency error and the package compiles fine, but I had no time for testing yet.
If you're willing to test: Download

Hi,
I have a problem with the binding. Sometimes it drops the connection to the broker without any error message.
System: OH 3.0.1 → MySensensors MQTT Bridge → Mosquitto → MySensors MQTT Gateway

Fresh OpenHab install on debian, system start without any error, running about 1 day, then cannot communicate via MQTT. Messages does not arrive from Mosquitto to OH, also no outgoing messages to the broker. Checked mosquitto with MQTT Explorer, thats seems working, there are messages from the MySensorsGW.
There aren’t any clue in logs ( working untill ~2021-04-13 10:27:12:757) :

@oljo as I already mentioned: your posts are 100% off topic, because ypu do not use the OH3-binding for mysensors. you did some text-file thing-definitions with the MQTT-binding... apples and not plums
