openHAB 2.0 binding

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!

I had the same error messages on first boot of OH. After finishing upgrade procedure and restarting OH once again error message is gone. New version of the binding is working well. No hickups at the moment.

Hi Guys
I am currently playing with a fairly fresh install of openhab2 (last weekend)
I have played with the auto-discovery function in PaperUI
Wow that's amazing :)
But i am having trouble when it comes to sitemap file : sitemap function is not included within PaperUI (as far as i know) and i need this file to configure properly my iOS app
So i have to go back to the old fashionned way and edit thing, item and map files with a text editor (which is fine)

Two questions from here:

please prove me wrong in the way that i can discover things and configure items within paperUI and still create a valid sitemap file usable by my iOS devices
if above not possible, is there a way to "flush" openhab things and items database as i am getting warnings about things that don't exist anymore (things previously discovered by paperUI but deleted since)
Thanks a lot for reading

I must be missing something. I have the same error as well. Is there a link to the latest binding. The one on the instructions page is dated 20161122 and a second one refereed to in this topic above dated 20161222. Which binding should I be using

@TimO, Thanks for the quick response. Probably was some stupid mistake with copying.jar file. Got mine now on 2.0.0.201701181308, and works like charm.
Hoping to have mysensors soon as official binding to avoid the need of workarounds and thus prone to mistakes.

@hillmanr please try this link: Download

@ben999

It is possible to discover things with PaperUI and afterwards insert them in an item and sitemap file. Just use the channel that was given due to recovery. This way you don't need the things file.
You may delete the hole database or edit it with a text editor as it is a jsondb file. I'm on my phone, so I can't give you the correct location right now.

Did you try habmin? I've seen some amazing screenshots but haven't tried it myself.

Got the 2.0.0.201701181308 binding, works, thanks. Amazing effort on the binding, great job.

@TimO
Thanks a lot Tim
Found a few interresting files in /usr/share/openhab2/userdata/jsondb (one containing history of discovery)
Got rid of them all then rebooted but no change: my log is still polluted with that kind of entries:

05:33:19.658 [WARN ] [ome.core.thing.internal.ThingManager] - Cannot delegate update '3' for item 'salonBatt01' to handler for channel 'mysensors:temperature:gateway:Temperature_1_0:battery', because no thing with the UID 'mysensors:temperature:gateway:Temperature_1_0' could be found.
05:33:19.660 [WARN ] [ome.core.thing.internal.ThingManager] - Cannot delegate update '3' for item 'salonBatt01' to handler for channel 'mysensors:humidity:gateway:salonBatt01:battery', because no thing with the UID 'mysensors:humidity:gateway:salonBatt01' could be found.

There also was a backup directory in there... deleted but no change
Another location?

EDIT : files in that directory are back after a reboot :D (meaning that the files themselves are back, and the one containing discovery data still contains it !!!)

Thanks a lot for your help buddies

This binding works fine with 2.1.1 sensors actually Temp/Hum, Ph/ORP, RollerShutters. thanks for your work on this binding @TimO !
Is this binding work with firmware update : http://docs.openhab.org/administration/runtime.html ?

TimO

@Fabien Thank you for your feedback!
And: I've waited for that question according firmware updates to come up. :-D

I've looked into it and I'm very interested but till now there is only the implementation in the library, I've not seen an implementation in a binding. I'll continue to look at it, but with low priority. :-)

Current priority list is:

Include binding in OH2 repository.
Test and include the big refactoring from @andreacioni .
Add MQTT gateway (proof of concept working, full integration after refactoring).
Add little feature requests, add sensors ...

This is so great. I am fairly new to openhab 2. I have it up and running on a RP3. No issues during the install. I was able to get Habmin and paperhab up and running. I installed a few add-ons that were part of the img on openhab.com. However, i cant figure out how to add mysensors.org add-on. I am using OSX and I can't figure out where to place the file in openhab2 on the raspberry pi. Please help!!!!

TimO

The jar needs to be placed here:

/usr/share/openhab2/addons/

You'll find further instructions here:

I was able to successfully install the binding, but when I added a temperature sensor as a test, it keeps failing. This is the error message I'm getting:

Any thoughts?

TimO

@azuntik Did you configure the temperature thing in the things and items file? Please post the contents of these files. Please add the debug log from the time before and after the exception occurs. Which version (snapshot, stable) of OH2 are you running?

azuntik

@TimO I'll be honest with you: I'm not sure I configured everything properly. I don't have things or items files, because I set things up through the PaperUI. Do I need to set everything up through config files?

I've attached the complete log file. I'm running stable.

Thanks for your help!

Edit: Nevermind. I don't have permission to upload a file. So, here's a pastebin: http://pastebin.com/jLeTXbvX (the timestamps are wrong, you can ignore the date).

Edit2: One thing that I was having trouble with was determining the Node and Child IDs. I finally settled on what I think they are (105 and 255, respectively), but I may be wrong. Any advice with regard to figuring that out would also be greatly appreciated!

marceltrapman

@azuntik You should know what you are creating ;)

In PaperUI you first create a thing for the gateway (I assume that worked for you).
Next OpenHAB should find all attached things for you, no need to create them manually. Just confirm what OpenHAB found.
Based on available properties you create an Item.

azuntik

@marceltrapman Frankenstein's Monster? :D

So, the UI is not detecting anything, although testing mysgw shows it receiving data. Is this a misconfiguration on my part?

Edit: Nevermind. I think what you said just sank in. Thanks for your help!
