openHAB 2.0 binding

[TimO]

@ben999

1. 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.

2. 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:

1. Include binding in OH2 repository.
2. Test and include the big refactoring from @andreacioni .
3. Add MQTT gateway (proof of concept working, full integration after refactoring).
4. 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!

Hi TimO
Can you please add support for gas meter S_GAS like the water meter.

Thanks

Hello all! I believe I have done my due diligence in solving my own problem, but I am stuck. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I am trying to get started with an Ethernet Gateway. The gateway is displayed on the PaperUI, but in the log, it continues to try and connect to the ip bridge (Sending to MySensors: 0;0;3;0;2;)

I am on:
openhab 2.1.0-snapshot build #791
MySensors Binding: 2.0.0.201701181308
Gateway is using library 2.1.1

I have tried:
Clearing the EEPROM on the gateway thinking some garbage got stuck there.
Set up and successfully used an MQTT gateway, thinking bad hardware?
Restarted the binding, openhab, kitchen sink countless times.
Updating everything to the latest build I could find
Manually creating things

The only thing that seems odd to me is the gateway repeats over and over what appears to be initialization data (displays ip address, 0;255;3;0;9;MC0;BGN;STP.....). However, it does receive data from a temperature node I built.

I appreciate any pointers that can be provided, including "have you read this page?", though I think my Google search is permanently stuck on "mysensors openhab" at this point.

Thanks,

Dave

@nikos1671

Where do I found the Mysensors Binding 2.0.0.201701181308 jar file for download?
Or is it mandatory to compile it from source?

Thanks Kristoffer

[TimO]

@David-Link Are you sure the gateway isn't in a boot loop?

[TimO]

@stoffej HERE

[David Link]

@TimO That's exactly what is going on. Thank you for the tip, I was pulling my hair out. Now on to solving that problem! Thanks again.

Hi @TimO
I am having trouble but think I might be doing it wrong.
Is it possible to use this binding with a MQTT gateway?
I see that it needs to find the gateway on port 5003 but this isn't defined in MQTT gateway.
Is it possible?

[TimO]

Hi @mlava !
The MQTT gateway is not supported at the moment. I've done a proof of concept and it will be implemented after the refactoring we're currently working on.
