openHAB 2.0 binding



  • Hi again @TimO .

    Just an idea.

    What do you think about solving this problematic in this way:

    We create a group whose members are all those items that later will populate the binding's memory. I have a group named mysqlpersisted where I put all the items whose data will be stored in my SQL DB. So I could use that group. For this example, let's call it "MemoryGroup"

    Then, we can create the following rule:

    rule "Populate MySensors binding memory"
    
    when 
    System started
    then
    
    (maybe add a delay to allow persistance services to load)
    
    MemoryGroup?.members.forEach[i |
            postUpdate(i.name, i.previousState(true))
    ]
    

    Using this method, memory would get populated everytime OH boots up, with data belonging to the persistance service that we use. And we use postUpdate, so no command is sent to the nodes.

    With this I think we solve both problems as data in the binding will be concurrent with the persistance service data.

    Let me know what you think about this.

    Regards!

    Hi @gonzalonal !

    I was thinking in the same direction and I have played a litte bit with different rules. I had no success in finding a rule that worked. Additionally I don't like the workaround. 😉

    A good solution would be, to trigger a rule, if a request is received, but there too I had no success till now.

    I'm still struggling with it ...



  • @TimO Do you think it would be hard to add MQTT support to the binding? I had a brief look to your code and it looks like the protocols are nicely isolated.


  • Hero Member

    I'm currently trying to migrate my production environment from OH1 to OH2. I'm now using two serial gateways.

    @kolaf : The problem you described occured to me too. In my case I use two serial gateways. I've added a little method that ensures that a connection to more than two serial ports via nrjavaserial is possible. It works within the OH2 binding. Could you test if it works with the RFXCOM binding you are using? A new jar is available on github. OH2 is currently using an old version of nrserialjava that has a bug. I don't know how to switch the version yet.

    @tomkxy : I will integrate MQTT in my OH2 Installation soon and will come back to your request after that.



  • The binding doesn't seem to handle the "requestTime" function yet. Time-aware sensors would be able to handle temporary OpenHAB outages by executing some scheduled actions autonomously, which I could use in the window cover controllers I'm developing.


  • Hero Member

    @TimO Thanks for the update. Unfortunately it did not seem to change anything for me, rfxcom still fails trying to use the wrong lock file. If it is helpful I can send you the log. Appreciate your input and effort.


  • Hero Member

    The weird thing is that it seems to work with an older version of OH2 (and an old version of your binding), but not with the more recent beta releases.


  • Hero Member

    @kolaf : My guess is, the implementation in the could be the problem. Please do a litte test: remove the mysensors.jar file from the addons folder. Start OH2. RFXCOM should start fine now. Copy the mysensors.jar in the addons folder. OH2 will try to load the binding. What is the result?

    I suppose this way both binding work fine together?!


  • Hero Member

    @TimO I tried this before, and removing the MySensors binding made the rfxcom binding work. However, this was not the case this time. I will try a bit later to also remove the zwave binding.

    It appears that I get these errors even if I remove all the offending bindings. I think I need to start with a completely clean installation and see how it goes. I will let you know.


  • Hero Member

    Success, I think.

    I started a brand-new installation of the latest OH2 snapshot, and sequentially added the rfxcom, z-wave, and mysensors bindings. After fiddling a bit with getting serial ports recognised by OH2 and getting the permissions correct, it seems to work. I still get some weird error messages, but apparently the library is able to work through its issues :-). An example of what I mean is included.

    Returns out that I am still seeing the problem sometimes. If I change the configuration so that the bindings are reloaded (especially the zwav binding) it fails to reconnect to the serial port. I found someone who had posted an updated serial binding which supposedly solved some related problem (I think), but I'm not sure. It does not appear to have had any effect on the problem.

    The modified version is available from one of the last posts here: https://github.com/openhab/openhab2-addons/issues/671


  • Hero Member

    I managed to get things working pretty well under Linux, but I have now switched to a Windows-based installation to see how that is.

    Currently I have all three bindings working at the same time using three different serial ports. This is finally allowed me to pay attention to what the mysensors binding is doing.

    The seems to be some kind of delay through the system for messages coming from the device. This is quite evident from the log included below. Device number three is a power sensor which transmits about once a minute. For some reason things are bunched together. I guess some of these could be Retransmissions, though. The sensor is located 4 m away from the gateway. Number 10 is a temperature sensor in the basement.

    For some reason I have had severe problems getting the sensor to talk to the Gateway today. It shouldn't be related to the binding, I know, but I'm loosing my mind trying to keep track of all the different factors here.

    @kolaf : I'm glad the bindings are now working together.

    The delay in the transmission is a bit strange. I've no idea where that could come from.
    I've ported my production environment to OH2 and this didn't occure to me yet. I've upgraded a lot of my sensors to 2.0-beta and therefore took a closer look at the debug output of the OH2 binding to check if the devices present themself correctly and send the messages. I'll will keep an eye on it!

    Currently I'm running OH2 with:

    • Astro1
    • Weather1
    • MySensors2
    • MySQL Persistence
    • Sonos2

    In the MySensors network I have a couple of Sensebender Micros, a shutter control with 12 SSR and two nodes to control LED lights plus selfmade DHT22 nodes connected to two gateways (one serial, one ethernet (iboard)).

    I'm glad it runs stable for days now, although it is obvious in some places that this is a beta release of OH2. There are icons missing and there are bugs in the basicui and the documentation could be much better.

  • Hi @Francois ,

    thanks for report. Seems that the you are using 2.0 version of MS Gateway. If you do not need it for particular task, try install the 1.5 version. I'll try to fix your problem as soon as possible!



  • @andreacioni Thanks for this all my sensor are running on version 2 so I don't know it my nodes will run on an 1.5 serial GW


  • Hero Member

    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.



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



  • @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!



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



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



  • @andreacioni Here is is the info:

  • @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


  • Hero Member

    @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.



  • @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



  • @TimO said:

    Maybe we could an option for the binding to omit the check for I_VERSION?

    I could do it without any problem.



  • @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?


  • Hero Member

    @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.



  • @TimO simple update, tonight I'll push it 👍


  • Hero Member

    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?



  • @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?



  • @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.

  • Hi @undee

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


  • Hero Member

    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 :-).
    0_1461437647445_temporary log



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


  • Hero Member

    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:

    I restarted OH2 after changing the configuration, and this time I get no exceptions, but I see no more messages from the binding after the one included below.

    @kolaf said:

    22:34:40.815 [DEBUG] [g.mysensors.protocol.MySensorsWriter] - Sending to MySensors: 0;0;3;0;2;
    

    Edit: after a while I finally received a few packets in the debug console:

    2016-04-23 23:10:49.020 [DEBUG] [g.mysensors.protocol.MySensorsReader] - 0;d0;6t,
    2016-04-23 23:10:49.021 [DEBUG] [g.mysensors.protocol.MySensorsReader] - 0;4;1012.9
    

    Both of the packets seem quite mangled, they are missing pieces, and some of the pieces present do not make sense. I have verified that the baud rate is correct, and when I correct directly to the Gateway using a serial console the output looks normal.



  • @kolaf that's my output, check if there's something different.

    Have you tried rebooting the entire board/system?

  • Hero Member

    @andreacioni The difference is that I never get a response from the board for some reason. Connecting using screen works without issues. I think the still might be an issue with the serial lock, but given that we actually receive some data at all this might not be the case after all.

    Edit: I have rebooted the board by unplugging it and reconnecting it.



  • @kolaf Could you try link the serial port to another name (ln -s /dev/mysensorsUSB /dev/ttyS80)


  • Hero Member

    I just tried disconnecting and reconnecting the board and restarting OH2 again, and this time it seems to have initialised correctly :-). I'm not sure why it didn't work the first two times, though.



  • @kolaf Perfect! 😉


  • Hero Member

    Now that things seem to be working on all levels, I have a very small request. Could someone please update the "baro" thing definition to include "V_PRESSURE" as well as "V_FORECAST"? My arduino is not big enough to calculate the forecast without running out of memory, so I can only send the actual barometric pressure.

    Edit: Perhaps it is better to replace forecast with pressure for baro and create a new channel for the forecast?

    What would also have been great, but this is a longer shot, would be to have some standardised way of getting received signal strength for the (at least directly connected) sensors. At least the RFM69 has an easy way of reporting RSSI, so just need a standard way of reporting this to the binding. Currently I'm reporting it as a generic debug message like this: 0;255;3;0;9;Received RSSI: -32

    The reason I want to keep track of this is to keep an eye on the RF environments around my sensors. Things may change for many reasons (appliances, foliage, et cetera) and this will allow me to pre-emptively correct any problems in the future 🙂



  • @andreacioni

    Here is the output generated after restarting the TimeAwareSensor sketch from the MySensors examples.

    You can see that the I_TIME (3;0;1) message is received by the gateway several times, but it never sends a response to the node.

    Do you need anything else?

  • Hi @TimO, me and @undee have tested everything (thanks again!). I'll push a little PR on github to fix a problem found in I_TIME response.


  • Hero Member

    Hey @andreacioni & @undee , thanks for the test & fix!
    I've merged the PR.



  • Hi @TimO ! I want to tell you an idea for the OH2 binding. What do you think about adding a date time channel to every thing that hold the last communication of the thing with the gateway? For example, it will be useful if you want to notify user that some sensors have become unavailable. Tell me what do you think! 🙂


  • Hero Member

    @andreacioni This can be easily done with a periodic rule that checks the latest update of the value assuming you have some persistence like rrd configured.



  • Hi @kolaf, yes this is how to do it. But my idea is to integrate the datetime channel into the binding in order to automatically update that value when updates are received. I think is better than have to do rules into OH config for each devices. What do you think?


  • Hero Member

    @andreacioni Sure, getting automatically configured alerts both for silent sensors and low battery for free would be great ☺️.


  • Hardware Contributor

    @andreacioni i support your idea to implementing this in the bindning.


  • Hero Member

    Hi @andreacioni !

    I can't decide if I like the idea or not. 🙂
    For sure, the result is needed. I currently have a rule that does store the last update from a sensor. In fact, I have a few rules, for all my battery powered sensors, so a reduction in the number of rules would be great.
    BUT I suppose implementing this in the binding is not the OpenHAB-way, because the binding is only the interface to the hardware and should be lightweight.


  • Hardware Contributor

    Open query.
    I think it is a bit boring that when you give the sensor a new adress that you have to power cycle the device to get it added. I can see that the sensor is starting to transmitt with the new address but The binding is not finding it as a new device. I can see that this happens becouse the sonsor dont present it self to the binding. how ever what about implementing a feature that asks the sensor for data when it just gave out a new address. I have also asked for mySensor to add the feature that when the node gets a new adress that it should present it self.

    Which way do you see as best? Or is it nothing that can be one?

  • Hardware Contributor

    @hek SO if i understood it correctly from reading info from this link. My question below is answered by that it is beeing implemented as we sspeak?


  • Admin

    @Denke
    Yes


  • Hardware Contributor

    Does the ack signaling work in the binding? I have a sensor that will request an ack from the gateway. Does anyone know if this is working?



  • @Denke yes acknowledge is actually implemented in binding 🙂


  • Hardware Contributor

    @andreacioni
    Hi I have trouble finding out how to get my node to request ack, do you know how. I think i have figured out how to handle incoming message to check that the ack is received ant that is through message.isAck().

    But how do i get the node to send a request for ack?


  • Hardware Contributor

    @Denke
    You look and you look, then you ask someone how to do.

    Then you look again and you find it:)
    , true after the set message in send did the trick.
    gw.send(msgSetpointHeat.set(setTemp,1),true);



  • @TimO

    ALMOST WORKING

    Hi,
    Ive been trying for ages to get a stable OpenHab + MySensors setup going. Your new binding is exactly what I've been hoping for and I'm so close to having it working, but can't see what I am doing wrong???

    I've installed OpenHab2 plus your MySensors binding. I tried to follow your setup guide / otes, but I suspect a lot has changed since you wrote it.

    What Works

    • OpenHab runs without any errors in the log file {Yay!}

    • My sensor data appears in the OpenHab log - ok.

    • In OpenHab, my individual sensors are there and 'linked' to sensor channel.

    • The date/time in browser from the NTP binding updates as expected.

    Whats Wrong

    • The items (in demo.items) appear in the browser, but no data values?

    • I can see data from sensor changes in OpenHab log, but still NOT displayed?

    Can anybody post an items, things and sitemap example file, or spot an error in mine?

    My demo.items:

    Number mywatts2 "Watts 2 [%.1f W]" <temperature> {channel="mysensors:power:503a021b:Power_21_6:watt"}
    
    Number  mywatts1 "Watts 1 [%.1f W]" <temperature> {channel="mysensors:power:503a021b:Power_21_2:watt"
    
    
    Number myhum01 "hum 1 [%.1f %RH]" <temperature> {channel="mysensors:humidity:7fbda972:hum"}
    
    Number mytemp01 "Temp [%.1f C]" <temperature> {channel="mysensors:temperature:503a021b:Temperature_22_3:temp"
    
    

    My demo.things:

    yahooweather:weather:Dawesville [ location=28584781 ]
    astro:sun:home  [ geolocation="-32.634619,115.638888", interval=60 ]
    ntp:ntp:demo [ hostname="nl.pool.ntp.org", refreshInterval=60, refreshNtp=30 ]
    
    

    Extract from my demo.sitemap:

      sitemap demo label="Main Menu" { 
        Frame { 
            Text item=mywatts1
            Text item=mywatts2 
            Text item=myhum01
            Text item=mytemp01 
        } 
      }
    
    

    Initial startup from my openhab.log (apologies for the length)

    All suggestions appreciated...

    The things are not linked to items, therefore the items do not update. You have configured the bridge via PaperUi, correct? This should work, but I haven't tested it. Could you try to configure the gateway in the things file instead?
    Have you seen the examples in the github wiki?
    I'm currently on my mobile, so I can't say more at the moment.



  • @TimO

    Hi Tim,
    Thanks for replying so promptly 😀 , trying to get this going over the weekend.

    From what I can see, the fields are linked. I base this on the fact that the log file shows 'link added' and 'link removed' as I play with the 'demo.things' file.
    Also, I get the same messages in the log etc, whether I create the links via the things file or with the paper-ui. I've also noticed that when I do make a typing mistake with an items or things entry, OpenHab is usually quick to spit out an error[s], implying that the corrected text is passing the syntax check.

    I have stripped my demo to the bare minimum and have included my current set here. The first two (MySensors) 'items' do not update but the log file shows no error. The third item is linked to a non MySensors binding and it works regardless of whether I use to paper.ui or create the links manually (which helps me believe I am creating the link to the binding correctly.

    My sitemap.demo

      sitemap demo label="Test Menu" { 
        Frame { 
            Text item=myhum01
            Text item=mytemp01 
            Text item=mytemp99 
        } 
      }
    

    My items.demo

    Number myhum01 "Humidity Test (22:2) [%.1f RH]" { channel="mysensors:humidity:gateway:myhum01:hum" }
    
    Number mytemp01 "Temperature Test (22:3) [%.1f] °C" { channel="mysensors:temperature:gateway:mytemp01:temp" }
    
    Number mytemp99 "Printer queue [%.0f jobs]" {channel="ipp:printer:Brother_MFC_8510DN:waitingJobs"}
    

    QUESTION:
    In the following things entry, should the first line start with "Bridge" or without? The binding setup notes appear to show both with and without?

    My things.demo

    Bridge mysensors:bridge-eth:gateway [ ipAddress="192.168.1.70",   tcpPort=5003, sendDelay=200 ] {
        /** define things connected to that bridge here */
        humidity        myhum01   [ nodeId="22", childId="2" ]
        temperature     mytemp01  [ nodeId="22", childId="3" ]
    }
    
    

    I always look for 'what I am doing wrong', but I have been on this for days with no joy, I've reached the point where I am really starting to suspect there may be a bug.

    Once again, I would appreciate suggestions from anybody...

    Thanks,

    Paul

    Hi all
    Im having major difficulties getting openhab to discover my serial gateway. I have had it working and i have got input from my sensors. But every know and then when i have restarted the computer the serial gateway is offline. The COM port is active and working according to Windows.
    I have tried to restart the computer, unplug and plug the usb several times. Doing this i have at some occasions got everything to work again.

    Any suggestions what it can be that is being the problem.

    I also think i have found a bug.

    If i for example take the gateway or an sensor that has been added which is marked off line. Then if i press edit on that one and just press the "save" button then it shows that it is on line even though i seriously doubt it is. As i dont get data from my sensors.

    Also how do i get the debug window (console view) to show for openhab?


  • Hero Member

    @AffordableTech Hmmm, your configuration looks good. Please show me the debug output.

    According the use of Bridge: I suppose using the word Bridge at the beginning is the right way!

    @Denke: I haven't used OH2 on Windows yet, but I suppose you see the karaf console?

    If so, you should be able to use: log:set DEBUG org.openhab.binding.mysensors and log:tail.

    The online/offline status of a thing in OH2 only shows if the bridge is connected and if the thing could be initialized. There is no dependence to wether a thing has received data or not.


  • Hardware Contributor

    @TimO said:

    log:set DEBUG org.openhab.binding.mysensors

    I tried this. From what i can see after doing some attempts to connect.
    First & second attempt
    This is what i get after just opening the serial gateway thing and edit and sav, seems as openhab then tries to reconnect with the gateway.
    0_1463350468146_upload-96877953-253b-4800-8495-1e83cf5d5892
    third attempt
    It seems like it gets connected, bu some error occurs which closes the connection again
    0_1463350411600_upload-4aea5dab-27aa-496e-be87-573dec9aa14a
    Forth attempt actually seemed to get things going
    0_1463350715950_upload-2c6d1d0a-d032-4bce-b520-ff47cf51f982

    Now to the next step.
    I have a device that was just given a new address from the my sensor binding. I restarted the sensor and waited to see it in the inbox (this is something that i have seen working occasionally( sometimes it gets in there sometimes it don't. I added the device manually and it seems to work. How ever my links dont work


  • Hero Member

    @Denke: At the first and the second attempt the gnu.io library is not able to establish a connection to the COM port. As "getPortIdentifier()" is mentioned it is possible that there is a correlation with the bug mentioned earlier in this thread. The OH developers need to update this library soon!

    At the third attempt the binding does not get an answer on the I_VERSION check and therefore stops its initialization. Try skipStartupCheck=true Wiki to avoid this.

    According to the discovery with PaperUI:

    I must admit I have not worked with it for a long time. The OH core team has announced some big changes/improvements in the PaperUI and I've postponed my tests for after the release of this changes.



  • Is any bodoy having high CPU load with this binding? My setup is: Openhab 2.0, running on a Pi3, with Java SDK Oracle. Openhab is running +100% CPU all the time. Here is the output of top command:

    Any ideas?


  • Hero Member

    @avinaz : After a second thought I now have an idea! 😄

    With the last commit I changed line 50 in MySensorsReader.java due to an exception I got after upgrading ubuntu/java and OH2.
    The binding (old version) was still unchanged.

    I need to look into this. Maybe @andreacioni has an idea?



  • @TimO I would say at a glance, that the thread is continuously reading the Serial port, with out a break, so this must be very CPU consuming?



  • I think i need some help. I am not shure, if my problem lies on the openHab2 side or if there is a problem with the mysensors addon.

    This is what i I have:
    A working mysensors addon. I receive updates in OpenHab:

    Seems ok.

    But I am not able to see the result in Openhab

    my.thing:

    mysensors:bridge-eth:gateway [ ipAddress="192.168.100.10", tcpPort=5003, sendDelay=200 ] {
            /** define things connected to that bridge here */
            light           n1c0   [ nodeId="1", childId="0", requestAck=true ]
            light           n1c1   [ nodeId="1", childId="1", requestAck=true ]
            humidity        n1c2   [ nodeId="1", childId="2" ]
            humidity        n1c3   [ nodeId="1", childId="3" ]
            humidity        n1c4   [ nodeId="1", childId="4" ]
    }
    

    my.item:

    Switch n1c0    "PFLANZENNAME1 Pumpe"                    <water> (gGF_irrigation01) { channel="mysensors:light:gateway:n1c0:status" }
    Switch n1c1    "PFLANZENNAME1 Pumpe Automatikmodus"     <water> (gGF_irrigation01) { channel="mysensors:light:gateway:n1c1:status" }
    Number n1c2    "PFLANZENNAME1 Bodenfeuchtigkeit max"    <water> (gGF_irrigation01) { channel="mysensors:humidity:gateway:n1c2:hum" }
    Number n1c3    "PFLANZENNAME1 Bodenfeuchtigkeit min"    <water> (gGF_irrigation01) { channel="mysensors:humidity:gateway:n1c3:hum" }
    Number n1c4    "PFLANZENNAME1 Bodenfeuchtigkeit"        <water> (gGF_irrigation01,gGF_eating) { channel="mysensors:humidity:gateway:n1c4:hum" }
    

    There are simply no values in openhab although I see the debug messages in the openhab log.
    Any idea how to fix it? I did not use the autodicovery of openhab paper UI. what confuses me is the name of the link used by openhab:

    2016-06-06 07:12:45.168 [INFO ] [home.event.ItemChannelLinkAddedEvent] - Link 'n1c0-mysensors:light:gateway:n1c0:status' has been added.
    

    That does not match the channel. is that ok?

    Thank
    Dakky

    EDIT: updated openhab log to complete startup process and added question



  • Hey man,
    This is awesome!
    You should add support for Relays.
    🙂



  • Hi @TimO
    I am having the exact same simtoms. Huge CPU usage with latest binding version.
    Let me know if you need me to run some test to get this solved.



  • @dakky said:

    I think i need some help. I am not shure, if my problem lies on the openHab2 side or if there is a problem with the mysensors addon.

    No idea anyone? i'm stucked here and I'd really like to continue 😞

    EDIT: MAybe this helps debugging: it seem there is no "link" between things and items. The rest endpoints reveals, that the thing has no item:

    Glad you found it! 👍

    I'm a little low in time at the moment, I will look at the PRs next weekend. Thank you for the contributions! 🙂


  • Hero Member

    There is a new jar available that fixes the bug with the high CPU usage.

    Additionally @meju25 added support for customSensor and an option to adjust the behavior in case no ACK could be received (see wiki). Thanks a lot!



  • Thanks @TimO , seems is working fine. I updated my installation with the new jar and now CPU is around 4-6%. Thanks a lot. By the way, I did not see a commit in the code repository.


  • Hero Member

    @avinaz: I'm glad, thanks for testing!
    Did you look into the right branch? I've committed all changes to github.

    Hi all

    Implemented a barometric sensor "pressure meter" that i sample in the sensor. Then i send the value Through "BARO". I can see in both the sensor output and the openhab debug that i receive a value for example "1.2".

    I try to display this in the openhab and i dont get the Text item to update.

    Anyone know how this can be as i have other values that i am able to display.

    line in .items
    String Pool_Pressure "Pressure (bar) [%s]" <pressure> (gPool)

    line in .sitemap
    Text item=Pool_Pressure

    any help is appriciated as i have tried different options with Number and so on

    Merging sensor to one

    Hi
    I have been thinking and i think it would be nice if there is a way to merge sensor data to one in the mysensors binding.

    Background
    I am trying to build a pool control based on mysensors and i have a lot of options that i wan it to handle. For example:

    • on/off of my pool pumps (S_LIGHT)
    • on/off of lights around the pool (S_LIGHT)
    • thermostat function for heaters (S_HVAC)
    • measuring pressure on pump (S_BARO)
    • measuring consumed power on pump (S_POWER)

    All this are using the same sensor ID and getting own child IDs. When they now are brought in to openhab they appear as single sensors

    Is there a possibility to get an automatic merge for thes combined sensors?

    And what do you think about the idea.
    Or is there already a solution that exist that I am not aware about

    example from paper UI
    0_1465935938914_upload-2840e8d0-1b09-4aa8-965a-4193011e843b

    with openhab poolcontrol view

  • @Denke
    If I understand correctly, you are suggesting to combine different sensor types in one thing.
    IMHO this would jeopardize the concept of the binding. The binding provides one thing per message type (see https://www.mysensors.org/download/serial_api_15). the thing has one channel per supported sub type.
    I also do not see the advantage of combining different sensor/message types in one thing as you need one item per channel anyhow.
    => this would not reduce the number of items needed.

    Grouping the items in the site map - as you already did - is the best way here.

    Does anybody see this differently?


  • Hardware Contributor

    @meju25 I saw this from a management perspective.
    I have one device, my pool controller, that has multiple sensors and also channels per sensor just as HVAC that has a sum of channels. In my case i implemented a number of sensors in different types of channels "S_HVAC, S_LIGHT,...." what i see that it gets messy when you try to see if the channels are active or the pool control is active it has multiple sensors.

    So maybe a suggestion is to maybe implement this in the mysensors instead of in the openhab binding.
    In that case i would like to add something that allows me to tell what channels are in a "sensor" by combining differnt channels and sensor types.

    I don't know if i got my message through.

    But all this is mainly for management of my devices so that this gets less messy



  • @TimO do you plan to implement the reconnect thing? I often have to struggle with that and the only solution is the restart the openhab service :S Is there a problem with the reconnect or is it just "another task on the todo list"?

  • Hardware Contributor

    Hi
    Is there anybody that have had a problem with the S_BARO and the V_PRESSURE channel?

    I try to send a value on this channel as 1.2 I can see that the serial gateway receives it

    23:10:51.808 [DEBUG] [g.mysensors.protocol.MySensorsReader] - 0;0;3;0;9;read: 163-163-0 s=10,c=1,t=4,pt=7,l=5,sg=0:1.2

    I set up the channel as i have done for alot of other channels through the paper ui. where i link the channel to an item.

    The item file looks like this
    String Pool_Pressure "Pressure [%s]" <pressure> (gPool)

    the sitemap file looks like this
    Text item=Pool_Pressure

    result is this
    0_1466111768156_upload-9d8b8d90-c258-4979-b27f-0162a9ffcdc5

    The field never gets updated.
    any suggestions?


  • Hardware Contributor

    @Denke
    I cant find V_PRESSURE connected to CHANNEL_BARO below, can that be the reason?

  • Hero Member

    @Denke : You're right, the pressure channel was missing in the thing definition. This is fixed in the current version!

    @dakky : Which gateway type keeps disconnecting and why? I've a serial and ethernet gateway running side by side in OH2 and both didn't get disconnected so far. The hardest part is to recognize if the connection gets down.



  • Hi @TimO . Are you having both gateways connected to same the OH simultaneously?
    Any troubles with that? I imagine you should have different radio channels for each gateway, right? like two separate sensors networks.


  • Hero Member

    Hi @gonzalonal !

    Only the ethernet gateway has an attached radio.

    I'm using a ethernet gateway.
    the problem is: if the sensors gateway gets restarted/disconnected/updated/whatever the binding does not reconnect. The only way to fix that, is to restart openhab in order to force the binding to connect again.
    Detecting an disconnect is really that hard? in the worst case, what about simply reconnecting timebased? not as cute as only reconnect when nessecary but a dirty quickfix.



  • Thanks @TimO. Now I get it.
    What do you think about having two gateways, one with NRF radio and the other one with RFM69 radio?

    Will the binding support both gateways simultaneusly with no issues?

    Another question..Will you support HearbeatRequest for the development branch?

    Thanks, regards.



  • Hello againg.

    I have updated my OH2 to latest nightbuild from cloudbees, and also updated to lastest realease of OH2 MyS Binding.

    Now, I am facing an issue, that everytime that OH2 starts, it sends out all the items status to its respective node. This is causing, for example, to open my gates, or lowering my rollershutters, even disabling/enabling my alarm system. So I have shutdown OH2 for time being.

    Have anyone faced this behavior before?

    This is some of the log:

    I would really appreciate your help.

    @gonzalonal I have no idea why this should happen. The binding isn't that smart to do something like that. I've done a complete fresh installation on 21.06. with the nightly build from cloudbees and don't see this issue.

    @dakky Do you see disconnection messages in the log? The binding already tries to detect a disconnect and tries to reestablish the connection when an ethernet gateway is used. Currently the time within a reconnect would be successful is very small due to sleep limitations of threads in OH2 bindings.



  • Thanks @TimO . I will try to make a progressive installation and try to figure out what is causing this behavior.

    I'll let you know if I find out.
    Have you read my previous message?

    @gonzalonal : I just downloaded the recent version of the binding again and I don't see this behaviour.

    I hope both gateways will work together! This is was the idea. I've not tested it in combination with RFM69 but I don't see a reason why this should not work! 🙂



  • @TimO I have solved my probles using OH2 Beta3 and the last release of the MyS binding.

    It seems that the problem is only reproduced with the last release of OH2 from Cloudbees. At least withe the release 372.

    Have you tryed it?


  • Hero Member

    After a full computer crash (overheated CPU, CPU fan stopped working) I'm trying to set everything up on a new computer. Using the latest openhab2 beta 3 I'm having issues with using this binding. Specifically, whenever I add my standard thing configuration I get a buffer overflow in openhab which results in a core dump.

    I have downloaded latest binding from the link at github, but that did not affect it. In addition to this binding I am using the zwave binding and rfxcom binding. All three connect to devices through serial ports, although I I'm not sure if they do it in the same way.

    You may recall that I have had trouble using these three bindings together earlier, but for some reason things worked out and it has worked quite reliably since then.

    I'm not sure which information from the system crash is useful, but if there is anything I can send you to help you figure out what happens, let me know. Also, I realise that this problem might not be related directly with mysensors, but maybe with the serial library used (I saw a reference to NVJavaSeria in the stack trace after the crash.


  • Hero Member

    Hello again.

    As a temporary fix I found a simple TCP/serial Gateway Python snippet that handles the connection to the serial mysensors device and provides a TCP interface to openhab. Switching the binding of aggression from serial to socket and having it connected to this software gateway removes the core dump issue. This confirms my suspicions that the issues are with the serial port library.

    It works okay as a workaround until someone figure something out 🙂

    If anyone else is having issues with the serial connection, this is the by then snippet I found and used:

  • Hero Member

    @kolaf I'm only using one serial gw and that is running rock stable within OH2. My last update was 22 days ago, so maybe it is time for an update again. 🙂

    I recently changed my job, so I'm a little low in time at the moment. 😞
