Or here is an example I'm using:

When interested can post the openHAB items/sitemap(s) settings

Hi, I'm interested. :-)
Or is this the latest version ?

Yes :), for the sketches mentioned earlier.
<Comment to myself: Have to switch to some versioning as now I am already deeper in the project including cameras, weather forcasts etc.>

I could not decide yet on a platform. OpenHAB should be my next test.

My Current openHAB items/sitemap. 1 multisensor with Temp/Lux/Humidity sensor, 1 ethernet/MQTT gateway.

Also weather forcast from yr.no and Samsung TV remote controls (Mute working, rest not so much)

Here some screenshots:

These (Direct channel/Channel/Volume) does not work yet... Mute is OK and Volume displays only the current TV volume.

It runs quit stable on my old WinXP64Pro Quadcore w/many virtual machines on it.
Have still some problems with the syntax of the openHAB settings, but else nice controller ;)

@blacey I tried this already. This is a simple dimmer node, not RGB. It's work fine.
But I would like to use a RGB colorpicker in openhab.

pgo

I would like to use with a RGB colorpicker in openhab.

I would do that soon too. Would you like to have a node only as rgbw dimmer or maybe with a lux sensor as I like to do to also adjust for constant light/lux in the room?

In my menu you can see the setpoint for lux under the light sensor.

Dany

@pgo The RGB Colorpicker works already in openhab.
I have some problem in arduino side...i tried update the sample DimmerActuator code, but didn't work. I tried korttoma's code, but it didn't works for me, too.

(e.g. message.header.childId -didn't work)

Can you post the HW connections you use on arduino and the items/sitemap of the dimmer in openHAB? I can then check on my install.

I combined Humidity and Lux code. Serial monitor works ok (see below) but for some reason when I try to add node to Vera I get only node, temp and lux (no humidity). I guess something is wrong in combined sketch?

@niccodemi Check:
gw.send(msgTemp.set(temperature, 1));
gw.send(msgHum.set(humidity, 1));
gw.send(msg.set(lux)); I miss here ",1"

niccodemi

@pgo thanks, all sensors show up now.

One more combined sketch - UV / Light Lux. Everything seems to work ok except only 2 items show up in vera: node and lux sensor. UV sensor is missing.

There is a perfectly good explanation why UV sensor isn't showing up. MySensors does not distribute any device files for it. It might work with the rfx-plugin-device:

@hek

I remember @epierre working on the sensor, I helped him with the little sort logic on the sensor readings to determine the index... I cannot recall what device he used to present the index within Vera...

In china right now, the Great Firewall preventing a good search on the forum for that project...

perhaps @epierre can recall for you

niccodemi

@hek @BulldogLowell UV sensor works fine as standalone sensor / node. After trying different things I noticed that if I switch order of

these lines

  gw.present(CHILD_ID_LIGHT, S_LIGHT_LEVEL);
  gw.present(CHILD_ID_UV, S_UV);

to these below

  gw.present(CHILD_ID_UV, S_UV);
  gw.present(CHILD_ID_LIGHT, S_LIGHT_LEVEL);

then node and UV sensor show up in vera, but lux light is missing. It seems that sensor presented 1st gets recognized but second one omitted. Could it have to do anything with both devices using analog pins?

BulldogLowell

CHILD_ID_LIGHT and CHILD_ID_UV are defined as two different nonzero numbers, right?

Sorry I cannot read your sketch here in China!!

niccodemi

@BulldogLowell no, they were both defined as 0. I changed them to 1 and 2 and now three devices show up. Thanks.

BulldogLowell

Good. You may be able to use zero but certainly not for both!
