openHAB 2.0 binding

[andreacioni]

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! :)

[kolaf]

@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.

[andreacioni]

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?

[kolaf]

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

[Denke]

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

[TimO]

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.

[Denke]

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?

[Denke]

@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?

[hek]

@Denke
Yes

[Denke]

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?

[andreacioni]

@Denke yes acknowledge is actually implemented in binding :)

[Denke]

@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?

[Denke]

@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);

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.

Hi Tim,
Thanks for replying so promptly :grinning: , 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?

[TimO]

@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.

[Denke]

@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.

third attempt
It seems like it gets connected, bu some error occurs which closes the connection again

Forth attempt actually seemed to get things going

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
