openHAB 2.0 binding

[A Former User]

@TimO
Hello,
Well this is bit of embarrassing...after changing the sleep time from 5 minutes to 1 minute for the troublesome node and re-uploading the sketch, it is reporting the temperature just fine. I tried all kinds of combinations trying to replicate the initial behavior, stopped the controller, rebooted the gateway, powered them off for while, moving back to 5 minutes sleep, to no avail, node registers and the temperature is reporting is showed in the paperui.

On the other hand I don't see that I_TIME request received from... message in the logs (used log:set DEBUG org.openhab.binding.mysensors and log:tail) so I'm not sure if the receiveTime() is called.
I suppose I can write something in the EEPROM when the callback function runs and check that.
Thank you

Node 0 is gateway attached, Node 2 is battery run -TemperatureOutside.

@frg Sometimes magic just happens. 😉
I'm glad it is working now! :+1:

I try to send ORP calibration value to my sensors but it doesn't work.
NODE_ID : 10, CHILD_NODE_ID : 0
When I'm recieve ORP from my sensors it's ok :

13:55:38.216 [DEBUG] [rs.internal.protocol.MySensorsReader] - 10;0;1;0;52;996.3

But when I change the value, the value is not send :

14:09:24.051 [INFO ] [marthome.event.ItemStateChangedEvent] - orp01 changed from 40 to 50
14:09:24.266 [INFO ] [smarthome.event.ItemCommandEvent    ] - Item 'orp01' received command 60
14:09:24.266 [DEBUG] [rs.internal.protocol.MySensorsWriter] - Sending to MySensors: 10;0;1;0;0;

Item :

Number	orp01	"Redox [%.1f mV]" <faucet> (gPiscine) { channel="mysensors:waterQuality:gateway:orp01:orp"}

Sitemap :

  sitemap test label="Main Menu" { 
    Frame label="Piscine" { 
		Setpoint item=orp01 label="Calirabte ORP" minValue=0 maxValue=1000 step=10
    } 
  }

@Fabien I need a little bit more time to reproduce this behaviour. I've opened an issue here: https://github.com/tobof/openhab2-addons/issues/50

Hello everyone
I'm slowly migrating to OH2, my small MySensors network generally works fine but I see some weird behavior with the binding configuration in Paper UI.
So far it looks like "Disable network sanity check" is reversed - I'm sliding it to the left which means for me 'not disabled', i.e. 'enabled', but in the log I see "Checker thread disabled".

2017-01-11 16:50:38.405 [DEBUG] [rs.internal.protocol.MySensorsReader] - 0;255;3;0;14;Gateway startup complete.

Is that ok?

[TimO]

@AndrewZ Don't worry about that message, the debug log looks good. The warning is confusing and we need to change that. :-)

[AndrewZ]

@TimO Thanks, will keep it off in the GUI.

Hi @TimO

I've logged a job to include documentation about non-native OpenHAB 2.0 bindings in the official OH2 docs.

ThomDeitrich is looking to know why it's not yet in the official distro. Can provide some info?

https://github.com/openhab/openhab-docs/issues/188

[TimO]

Hey @Duncan-Pullen !

The main reason is: I'm waiting for suggestions / approval from the OH2 developers. :)

The MySensors binding has grown big and a review takes some time.

[hek]

@TimO, thank you for all the effort you've put into this!

[FusedHe3]

Hi everyone,
@TimO, thanks for everything you did here!

I just made the 2.0 version (code in comments of respective post) of petewill's Simple Scene Controller and discovered that a Scene Controller is not yet implemented in the OpenHAB binding. Is there a possibility that it will be implemented in the future?
For now, is it possible to get this working with CustomSensor or Text?

[TimO]

Hi @FusedHe3 !

My first thought was: that's easy, lets add this! But after a second thought ...

I see one problem with S_SCENE_CONTROLLER: how do I map this in OpenHAB?

In MySensors there is V_SCENE_ON and V_SCENE_OFF. The message contains the corresponding scene number.

In OpenHAB I've: Number, Switch, Selection ...

In OpenHAB I may choose between Scene A, Scene B and so on, but I can't select between ON and OFF. Is Scene A switched off, when I select Scene B?

I'm using scenes with a switch in OpenHAB. Something like "Christmas decoration ON". In OpenHAB I'm using a group for that gChristmasDecoration or a rule: switch light on, shutter to 33%, ..

My approach in implementing a (hardware) scene controller would be a mapping of those switches. So I would define a switch / child for every button (scene) on the controller.

I'm open for ideas on how to map V_SCENE_CONTROLLER in OpenHAB, so if you or someone else have and idea, shout it out. :D

[TimO]

Ah, by the way, I forgot to mention: SmartSleep is supported since last week.

[FusedHe3]

@TimO Thanks for the quick reply!
I do think the ON/OFF switch for every scene would be the most logical solution. In that way it's fully compatibel with the MySensors Scene Controller and you can have multiple scenes active at the same time.

Just updated my OH2 installation from snapshot to RC/beta and immediately got an error with the binding:

[ERROR] [rs.internal.protocol.MySensorsReader] - (java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "Gateway startup complete.") on reading from connection, message: class org.openhab.binding.mysensors.internal.protocol.serial.MySensorsSerialReader

But then the usual:

[INFO ] [col.serial.MySensorsSerialConnection] - Successfully connected to MySensors Bridge.
[WARN ] [col.serial.MySensorsSerialConnection] - Network Sanity Checker thread disabled from bridge configuration

What could be a problem? Do I need to perform some cleanup on my system? What exactly needs to be deleted?

[krejcarek]

I ran into trouble today by apt-get updating Openhab.

I am over redefining the Distro for Snapshot... I have 2.0.0-SNAPSHOT, Build #743 up and running.

my bundle list looks following:
204 | Active | 80 | 3.12.0.OH | nrjavaserial
205 | Installed | 80 | 2.0.0.201611221149 | MySensors Binding

Still getting these errors:
"03:17:10.911 [ERROR] [org.openhab.binding.mysensors ] - FrameworkEvent ERROR - org.openhab.binding.mysensors
org.osgi.framework.BundleException: Could not resolve module: org.openhab.binding.mysensors [205]
Unresolved requirement: Require-Bundle: org.openhab.io.transport.serial"

Any idea for next step?

[TimO]

@krejcarek please upgrade the binding to the most recent version. :-)

[AndrewZ]

@TimO what about my error? I'm on the latest version already.

[TimO]

@AndrewZ Sorry! Is it working despite the error? I need to test with RC1 myself. The error looks like it could be ignored. From time to time messages get corrupted, due to connection issues and the parser stumbles about that. But it should continue to work just fine. I suppose this is the case here, but I'll check!

[AndrewZ]

@TimO yes, it is working, but please check this one and 2nd (Network Sanity Checker thread disabled). Thank you!
