openHAB 2.0 binding

[Fritzin]

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
Nikos

[David Link]

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.

[mlava]

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.

[mlava]

@TimO
Wonderful, thank you for the answer.
I'll wait eagerly for progress! 😀

[Andrew Currie]

@David-Link It looks like you have a similar issue to me re the ethernet gateway. I have also tried "everything" and then yesterday discovered an old bug that might have resurfaced. I just put the following up on github:

https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors/issues/777

It might help you..

[Andrew Currie]

Further to my client ethernet gateway not working with the MySensors 2.1.1 library, I tried 2.0.0 and now go much further. The gateway does not keep restarting, talks to the openhab controller and at least reads the messages and tripped status from my motion sensor

I had to turn on the skipStartupCheck for the ethernet gateway to come online in openhab (and the gateway serial monitor did show the 0;0;3;0;2; and ethernet messages between openhab and the gateway)

I then got my motion sensor to come online in openhab

15:13:24.305 [INFO ] [me.event.ThingStatusInfoChangedEvent] - 'mysensors:motion:24559d07' changed from INITIALIZING to ONLINE```

However the motion sensor (via gateway) and openhab controller are not talking to each other. Does skipping the startup check result in problems?

Any ideas on how to progress with MySensors 2.0.0 library or do I need to wait for a fix to 2.1.1?

Many Thanks...

[David Link]

@Andrew-Currie I think that is the same thing I am dealing with. I will take a look, thank you!

I "cheated" and just hooked it up to my Pi that is running OpenHab and it works like a charm.

[TimO]

@Andrew-Currie It should make no difference for the binding if you're using 2.0.0 or 2.1.1. I can't see any incoming messages in the debug log you've posted. If the gateway is properly connected you should see messages incoming, for example from your motion sensor. Could you please establish a telnet connection to the gateway at port 5003 and post the output? In parallel check the serial output of the gateway, there you should see the establishment of the telnet connection for example.
