openHAB 2.0 binding

[TimO]

I have a serial and ethernet gateway with version 2.0 running without any problems.
In your case there are a lot messages arriving within a short time, maybe that is the reason the gateway won't react on the I_VERSION message from the binding.

Please disable debugging in the gateway and try again. The reliability of my gateway improved a lot after disabling debugging.

[Francois]

@TimO I still get the same error after I disable debugging in the gateway

[andreacioni]

@Francois could you please send manually the I_VERSION command to the gateway? By no this is done by binding to check if the startup of the gateway was completed without errors. In your case that check fail. The I_VERSION message is this: 0;0;3;0;2;, you could try also 0;255;3;0;2; and see if gateway answer. Let we know what you see!

[Francois]

@andreacioni sorry how do I do this I_VERSION command to the gateway?

[andreacioni]

@Francois is a simple serial text message, just open the serial monitor of Arduino IDE and send it from there.

[Francois]

@andreacioni Here is is the info:

[andreacioni]

@Francois ok, this is the normal output. What happens if you send the I_VERSION message (just copy, paste and send one of them: 0;0;3;0;2; or 0;255;3;0;2; )?

UPDATE: Issue posted on tracker here

[TimO]

@Francois : I've updated my serial gw to the most recent development version and checked it against the binding. It is working for me. The response to I_VERSION does not belong to the RF, I've checked the current implementation of the MySensors library, so it should make not difference if you use RFM69, NRF or no RF at all.

Maybe the gateway is too busy to answer the request? Maybe we could an option for the binding to omit the check for I_VERSION? I'm out of ideas at the moment.

[Francois]

@TimO I have this gateway working on Domoticz without any problem. Put on OH2 I am getting this error and i don't know why it is happing

[andreacioni]

@TimO said:

I could do it without any problem.

[Francois]

@TimO I just download the last version of the beta version and recompile my gateway and I still am getting the same error code. There is not something that I missed in the MyConfig.h file or any other file that I need to change in openHAB2?

[TimO]

@Francois : No, I don't think so. I can't explain this behaviour and I'm sure the binding will just work fine after the initial check of I_VERSION.

@andreacioni : Would you be so kind to prepare a PR? I suggest to leave the check on by default.

[andreacioni]

@TimO simple update, tonight I'll push it :+1:

[TimO]

New version of the binding available!

• A requestTime from a node is now answered by the controller. Is anyone able to test it? (@undee )
• The controller will answer a request for "imperial or metric" like temperature sensors might ask. We need to test that too.

Big thanks @andreacioni for the implementation and @Francois for testing/reporting!

I've added an example page in the wiki: https://github.com/tobof/openhab2-addons/wiki/Examples
These are the type of things I'm currently using. (SensebenderMicro, Humidity, Temperature, Cover, Motion, Light ...)

Has anyone additional examples yet?

[undee]

@TimO

Thanks for your work! It's really nice to see the progress!

I have tried the TimeAwareSensor and the MockMySensors examples. The I_TIME message is sent by the node, obviously received by the gateway, but there the gateway is not sending anything in response. Are you sure your code for sending a time response is already active?

[Francois]

@TimO mysensor is now working :-) The only problem I have and I also had the same problem with OpenHab 1.8.2 as well in that I don't get my relay sensor to switch on or off. If if look at the log openhab it is sending the commands to the RelayActuator what am I doing wrong with this sensor? All my other sensor are reporting back to the dashboard.

[andreacioni]

Hi @undee

Can you post your node firmware version and log of OH2? It's very important for us to troubleshoot your problem.
Thanks!

[kolaf]

Hi all,

After battling with some radio issues with my sensors (in the RFM69 library) I am again ready to get things working using OH2. I downloaded the latest copy of the binding, but sadly things are not working for me. I believe the problem is still related to collecting to the serial port. I have lots of zwave stuff going on in my log, but i have included it anyhow in case someone feels the urge to take a look :-).

[andreacioni]

@kolaf Same thing as @Francois, in the binding configuration try add this: skipStartupCheck=true.

[kolaf]

Thanks for the suggestion. I updated the configuration like this:

Bridge mysensors:bridge-ser:gateway [ serialPort="/dev/mysensorsUSB", sendDelay=200, skipStartupCheck=true ] {
	baro	stableBarometer	[ nodeId="6", childId="3" ]
	power	mainPower	[ nodeId="3", childId="1" ]
	temperature		basementTemperature		[ nodeId="10", childId="1"]
    }

It did not work as expected. The resulting log is like this:
