openHAB 2.0 binding

[TimO]

@Jic Do you have a corresponding log for me?

My last update value only updates if a update is received. If I don't get an update for hours the last update variable won't change.

Maybe you receive a not tripped from the motion sensor? That will update the last update variable.

[Jic]

@TimO right now, I have only one Door sensor.
my logs are

You can see last event is at 23:07, however in the following snapshot the time is 11:17

No more events, but the lastupdate change

@TimO ok, I have discovered that my "tail" command doesn't work rigth, sorry

My logs are

I don't understand why am I reciving this message?

[TimO]

@Jic According to the serial API this is a I_DISCOVER_RESPONSE, but why is it sent? This seeems to update the lastUpdate channel.

I see it this way: "lastUpdate" is the last time the node has sent something, so everything is working as expected. :D

[Jic]

@TimO

Thanks. I don't know why is it sending a I_DISCOVER_RESPONSE message. Any Idea?

[TimO]

@Jic No sorry, I've no idea. :-/

I managed to find an addons directory in /usr/share/openhab2/addons, but I can´t find a way to copy the .jar file there, as I get permission denied both through WinSCP in sudo mode and terminal ssh. The folder has permission 0775.

That is the correct directory if you installed OH2 via .deb. Seems like you are using a user in WinSCP that is not allowed to write to the directory above. To circumvent this:

1. Copy the binding jar to /tmp.
2. Login via ssh and execute:

sudo cp /tmp/org.openhab.binding.mysensors-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar /usr/share/openhab2/addons/

and

sudo chmod openhab.openhab /usr/share/openhab2/addons/org.openhab.binding.mysensors-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

OH2 is started/stopped/restarted with

service openhab2 start/stop/restart

To log into the karaf console do:

ssh openhab@localhost -p 8101

Password is: habopen

Follow the guide/wiki from:

In the console enter feature:install openhab-transport-serial

I have installed openhab with the openhabian image. I could start the mysensors gateway too.
I followed the github-openhab2 installation instructions.
To this point

In the console enter feature:install openhab-transport-serial

I read a lot of posts on this thread but on get this error:

openhab> install openhab-transport-serial
Bundle IDs:
Error executing command: Error installing bundles:
	Unable to install bundle openhab-transport-serial

the chmod line posted above doesn't work neither. chmod does not accept openhab.openhab

I dont have any clue how to install the binding for openhab2 ... why isn't that possible from paperui :-(

[tademet]

I have install the addon and am getting the error:

17:49:40.745 [DEBUG] [al.protocol.ip.MySensorsIpConnection] - Connecting to IP bridge [null:1883]
17:49:40.745 [ERROR] [al.protocol.ip.MySensorsIpConnection] - IP must be not null/empty

17:49:40.753 [DEBUG] [al.protocol.ip.MySensorsIpConnection] - Disconnecting from IP bridge ...

MySensors does not show up as a binding in HabMin or PaperUI.

Where do I configure the MySensors binding if it doesn't show up in the UI?

[jogant]

@tademet
as stated in the configuration wiki https://github.com/tobof/openhab2-addons/wiki/Configuration you have to define the bridge in your thing-configuration, depending on the type of your gateway serial or ethernet.

[tademet]

@jogant
I have added the config to the thing file.

Bridge mysensors:bridge-eth:gateway [ ipAddress:"10.9.167.116", tcpPort=5003, sendDelay=200, imperial=true] {

}

But still getting the error:

08:10:25.214 [DEBUG] [al.protocol.ip.MySensorsIpConnection] - Connecting to IP bridge [null:5003]
08:10:25.215 [ERROR] [al.protocol.ip.MySensorsIpConnection] - IP must be not null/empty
08:10:25.216 [ERROR] [al.protocol.ip.MySensorsIpConnection] - Failed connecting to bridge...next retry in 10 seconds (Retry No.:3)
08:10:25.217 [DEBUG] [al.protocol.ip.MySensorsIpConnection] - Disconnecting from IP bridge ...

I changed the port and it recognized that change but is not recognizing ipAddress. Am I misspelling this?

[TimO]

@tademet there's a ":" instead of a "=" between ipAddress and the IP adress.

[Nicklas Starkel]

Just stumbled across this binding great work!
Until now I have used MQTT binding and MQTT gateway.
Will try this later on.
However, is there a reason why this binding is not part as downloadable from within OH2?
Cheers :)

[TimO]

Hey @Nicklas-Starkel !
I hope it will work out for you! :-)

It is not yet part of OH2 and downloadable within OH2 because my pull request is still open. A OH2 developer needs to look at it. :-)

[infrag]

@TimO

I've downloaded your code from github for this binding and tried to modify it a bit for my specific needs. However I'm having trouble compiling it. I've then gone back to basics and added in your unedited code to Eclipse. However it complains about:

@Override
public void bridgeHandlerDisposed(ThingHandler thingHandler, Bridge bridge)

Saying : The method bridgeHandlerDisposed(Thinghandler,Bridge) of type MySensorsHandler must override or implement a supertype method.

Do you have any advice for me on this? :)

Thanks for your work on this!

[infrag]

@TimO

According to this:
https://www.eclipse.org/smarthome/documentation/javadoc/org/eclipse/smarthome/core/thing/binding/ThingHandler.html#bridgeStatusChanged-org.eclipse.smarthome.core.thing.ThingStatusInfo-

The old method of bridgeHandlerDisposed is Depreciated now.

[TimO]

Hey @infrag !

Switch to the MySensors branch, the master branch is outdated. :-)

[infrag]

@TimO

ah that explains it. Thanks! :)

@TimO
I'm trying to add a CO2 sensor. What is the sensor i need to select inside OpenHAB?

TSP:MSG:SEND 70-70-0-0 s=0,c=1,t=37,pt=4,l=4,sg=0,ft=0,st=ok:1162
CO2 level = 1162 ppm

sketch:
MyMessage msg(CHILD_ID_AIQ, V_LEVEL);
present(CHILD_ID_AIQ, S_AIR_QUALITY);

[A Former User]

Hello everyone,
In an OH2 environment with 2 nodes reporting temperature, one attached to the gateway and one on his own I receive the following error:
[ERROR] [rs.internal.protocol.MySensorsReader] - (java.lang.IllegalStateException: Could not update state, because callback is missing) on reading from connection, message: class org.openhab.binding.mysensors.internal.protocol.serial.MySensorsSerialReader

The node attached to the gateway works fine, his item gets updated but the other one not.
The only code difference between their loop methods are calls to isTransportOK() and receiveTime() which are made by the latter node.
Doesn't this version support those 2 methods or I'm missing something ?
https://github.com/tobof/openhab2-addons/blob/MySensors/addons/binding/org.openhab.binding.mysensors/target/org.openhab.binding.mysensors-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

Thx for all the hard work on this library :smiley:

[TimO]

Hey @frg !

1. receiveTime() is supported by the binding and should work. In the binding log should appear a message like:

I_TIME request received from 123, answering...

Do you have some more log for me?

2. isTransportOK() is only handled within the node, no message is send so there is nothing the binding could support. By the way, the method was renamed to isTransportReady() with the current version 2.1.0.

Are there no updates from the second node? Did you check in the serial log of the node that messages were sent?
