openHAB 2.0 binding

AndrewZ

@TimO , I just noticed a weird behavior - I've changed configuration for another binding and restarted it from the console but that killed mysensors binding:

Complete stop/start of OH is the only solution so far.

andreacioni

Hi @AndrewZ , yes this is a known issue (I just openend an issue here) with the binding. Just out of curiosity, have you changed something in things file?

AndrewZ

@andreacioni thank you
Yes, it was a change in the .things file, but it was related to another binding.

andreacioni

@AndrewZ things file update trigger a reload of all binding declared inside it, nothing strange. Follow the above link to keep track of the status of this issue.

I just tried to get the openhab 2 binding up and running. I have a serial gateway and domoticz + openhab running on a pi. I stopped the domoticz service and installed the serial and mysensors addons for openhab like mentioned in the github readme (bundle:list showed them both). I also added the openhab user to the dialout group.
I then created a demo.things file in config/things with

Bridge mysensors:bridge-ser:gateway [ serialPort="/dev/ttyUSB0", sendDelay=200 ] {
    /** define things connected to that bridge here */
  }

The log of openhab shows these errors though:

2017-03-19 00:03:59.855 [ERROR] [col.serial.MySensorsSerialConnection] - Can't connect to serial port. Wrong port?
2017-03-19 00:03:59.897 [ERROR] [col.serial.MySensorsSerialConnection] - Failed connecting to bridge...next retry in 10 seconds (Retry No.:46)

Any idea why? This works just fine:

cat /dev/ttyUSB0

AndrewZ

@LastSamurai please check the group ownership

$ ls -l /dev/ttyUSB0

Make sure the port you're using is included in EXTRA_JAVA_OPTS as described here

LastSamurai

Thank you, that helped! Should anyone ever face the same problem: after changing the EXTRA_JAVA_OPTS I also needed to restart openhab (more likely the java vm).

LastSamurai

So openhab is running now and discovers my sensors when I restart them while scanning. My RGBW controller nodes pop up as RGBW sensors though. The on/off switch works, but what do I have to do to actually control the colors?
I tried editing the 4 variables but that doesn't seem to change the lights.

TimO

@LastSamurai : What does your sketch expect? One ASCII formated RGB code like described here: https://www.mysensors.org/download/serial_api_20 or a value between 0 and 100% per color (r,g,b,w)? I see different implementations (in openhab and in mysensors) and maybe we have to adjust the binding.

LastSamurai

@TimO Right, I guess thats the problem. I have written my sketch against domoticz, so it expects either a 6 bit hex string (rgb = e.g. ff00ff) or a 9 bit (idk why) rgbw hex string (e.g. #ff00ff00).
According to the mysensors docu "ff00ff00" would be right, I guess.

AndrewZ

Just noticed in the log:

[WARN ] [.discovery.MySensorsDiscoveryService] - Cannot automatic discover thing node: 0, child: 255 please insert it manually

Is that normal or any additional configuration is needed?
Thanks!

TimO

@AndrewZ hmmmm, a child that represents itself with an id of 255 shouldn't exist. 255 is used for battery status for example. What's the message that comes in before that?

TimO

@LastSamurai I'm working on a solution! RGB seems easy, but I haven't looked at RGBW. The Colopicker in OpenHAB only sends RGB.

AndrewZ

@TimO here is the output:

2017-03-23 20:51:32.531 [INFO ] [ui.habmin.internal.servlet.HABminApp] - Started HABmin servlet at /habmin

TimO

@AndrewZ the message occurs right after startup and before the bridge gets connected?! Just ignore the message if everything else is working fine.
I'll release the refactored version soon. It's already available via the new IoT marketplace.

AndrewZ

@TimO yes, message occurs on startup and I'm already using version from marketplace, I see it as market:binding-3328323 - 1.0

TimO

@AndrewZ oh okay! I will look at it!

LastSamurai

@TimO Cool, I'll test it once you are done. Domoticz only allows to either use the white channel or a RGB value (without the white) at the moment. Perhaps it can be done similarly in openhab.

TimO

@LastSamurai Could you please take a look at this: https://github.com/tobof/openhab2-addons/issues/76 ?

I've added the RGB & RGBW channels and because I'm not that confident about the RGBW implementation I'm kindly asking you to test the implementation and give me some feedback.
The conversion from HSB, which is used by OpenHAB2 internally, to RGBW left me pretty confused.

LastSamurai

I'll test it. Might take some days to get to it though

balder88

I found the solution myself. About a week ago i upgraded the binding. And it worked.
Everything seems to work as it should. Except I can't recieve var1 (custom) for neither the hum or temp child.

smartSleep is nice. I use it once an hour (regular sleep every minute) to get configurations from openhab about sleep time and other small things in the code.

@balder88 said in openHAB 2.0 binding:

Hey guys, first message on this forum. Been reading alot before. But now I have a problem I just can't solve.
It's about smartsleep with openhab 2.
Im using wifi gw rfm 69.
Regular messages works as it should both ways.
But it almost seems like the smartsleep isn't enabled in the binding.
Here are my configs and logs.

antonholmstedt

First I want to thank you for this binding, got it working with my esp8266 gateway without any problems at all. However, I want to ask how the reconnection problem is developing, any plans to solve it or is it not possible? I've tried to scan the thread but didn't find any information regarding it.

Alpoy

Thanks for making this binding!

One question, is there a specific reason motion (tripped) sensors have to be Contact items?
In OH2 all the Z-wave motion sensors are Switches (AFAIK) so it would be nice if the mysensor PIR's could also be Switches so I can just add these to my existing motion sensor groups and rules.

(I tried setting a triggered channel as Switch but it didn't work)

andreacioni

@Alpoy check this discussion on GitHub. The question is still open.

@antonholmstedt reconnection is currently implemented in binding (look here). Feel free to open an issue if you experience reconnection fails in your environment

antonholmstedt

@antonholmstedt reconnection is currently implemented in binding (look here). Feel free to open an issue if you experience reconnection fails in your environment

Yes I have reconnection problems right now, so will open an issue

Nicklas Starkel

I was checking back on this bindning and it really has matured!
On GitHub I see that there are some updates referring to MqTT protocol.
Are they available in the JAR that is posted here?
http://www.oberfoell.com/openhab2/org.openhab.binding.mysensors-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

Kudos on the great work!

TimO

@Nicklas-Starkel Well no, MQTT Gateway is not yet supported.
I got distracted by my current hardware project and need to catch up on the binding. First tests of the MQTT addition to the binding look very promising and I'll include it soon.

The current release is this one: http://www.oberfoell.com/openhab2/org.openhab.binding.mysensors-2.1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

While preparing the code to be included in OpenHAB2 I'm currently changing some things that will break the current configuration / things files. But I will give some information about that with the release of the next version.

gonzalonal

Hi @TimO, @andreacioni.

I am doing some "expert mode" rules where I need to get the NodeId of a specific sensors, or at least, to get all the configured Nodes Ids. Is that possible?

I would like to cron a rule where every X minutes, heartbeat request message is sent to all configured nodes, so as to see wether they are alive or not.

Thanks, regards.

andreacioni

Hi @gonzalonal

In the new version of binding we have implemented a (beta-)function that allows you to send heartbeat message at certain interval without the need to write your own rules.

Please take a lock at this gateway-parameter (you must have set enableNetworkSanCheck=true and sanityCheckerInterval).

With sanCheckSendHeartbeat parameter set you could also use this node-parameter to put your nodes offline after a certain number of failure.

I hope this function will help you!

gonzalonal

Hi @andreacioni . Thats a great feature.
But for the moment, I think I prefer doing it manually, by rules, because of the way in which I can show my offline nodes in my sitemap and configure custom notifications for them.

For each node, I have a datetime item showing the time of last heartbeat response received. If more than 25' have passed (5 heartbeats request, 1 heartbeat request each 5 mins) without response, I fire up a notification telling that that specific node has gone offline.

So, back to my original question. Is there any way to get Node Ids at the rules engine?

Do you believe we can customize this kind of behavior with the beta feature proposed?

Thanks, regards.

TimO

@gonzalonal I have no clue! Could be possible, but better ask at the OH2 community because the node Id is something that is specified in the thing description (xml) and maybe it is possible to access this information in rules.

Samuel235

Does this happen to support MQTT gateways? You mention serial or ethernet, but openhab doesn't support ethernet so i'm assuming you mean ethernet as the mqtt ethernet gateway?

While preparing the code to be included in OpenHAB2 I'm currently changing some things that will break the current configuration / things files. But I will give some information about that with the release of the next version.

Samuel235

I'm sorry, I ran a ctrl+f search and it either didn't show or i completely missed it, thank you for the prompt reply though.

In this case then i will have to wait for this release then as i can't achieve what i need to do with rules. Do we have any idea when the release will be?

Hi, did anyone hit the problem when it seems that all works fine
and then mysensors plugin start to think that it failed connecting to bridge (even if it doesnt actually)

Should I find newer version (last jar I found is since 2017-01-18)

I put message from node every 1 second, and in log you will see "0;255;3;0;9;TSF:MSG:READ...." every second
but every 10 second it recconects saying "Failed connecting to bridge...next retry in 10 seconds (Retry No.:31).... Shutting down serial connection!...

Igor Antolić

@Igor-Antolić huh,... my mistake, just installed 2.1.0 instead of 2.0.0. It seems it is from 2017-03-07.

I dont have a good way to find last version of lib. Any suggestion how to check if last stabile version of mysensors java lib?

TimO

@Igor-Antolić I'm glad it worked after the update!

It currently is not possible to automatically update (or check) for the most recent version. There are currently two sources for the binding:

the IoT Marketplace
The link in the wiki on github

The most convenient way is the integration in the official openhab2-plugins repository and I'm working on it, but I still have a lot of homework to do.

Maybe the IoT Marketplace will soon support such mechanisms, there are a few extensions planned.

TimO

@Samuel235 said in openHAB 2.0 binding:

In this case then i will have to wait for this release then as i can't achieve what i need to do with rules. Do we have any idea when the release will be?

What is it, what you want to achieve? I'm running MQTT too, as a connection between OpenHAB2 and nodered (50% of my rules are now nodered based). My gateways are serial or ethernet based.

serial / ethernet gateway
<->
OpenHAB2 binding
<->
MQTT Event bus
<->
nodered

@Samuel235 Are you willing and have the ability to test the MQTT implementation of the binding? Any help is really appreciated!

Guys,

I am getting this in Karaf :

16:20:33.171 [WARN ] [thome.io.rest.core.item.ItemResource] - Received HTTP PUT request at 'items/MySensorsDevice21_Lock' with an invalid item type 'Status'.

and this in PaperUI

 "ERROR : undefined - undefined"  "some error occured"

when trying to link "Lock status" of an rfid node to an item in PaperUI...

Is that anything to do with the binding ? Or shall i ask eslewhere ?

Thanks a lot for your help (in general as well )

Samuel235

@TimO - I have implemented a work-around for the issue that i was facing. OpenHAB just can't handle a empty MQTT message, so there is a fix for the pulse sensor to work with OpenHAB by changing the message that it send over to the MQTT server.

If you're interested in how this is done, please refer to: https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/3088/pulse-power-meter-with-openhab/4

I will be documenting this in possibly better to read steps for people when I get chance to finish the documentation to my new hardware node for the Pulse Sensor.

RVMRVM

@LastSamurai
Hello, i'am trying to connect a RGBW node by the serial gateway, is there already a solution for the hexstring format in the bindings or do we need to handle the rgbw items separatly ?
kind regards
Roger

TimO

@RVMRVM could you give this one a try?

https://github.com/tobof/openhab2-addons/issues/76

It is not yet integrated into the main branch. If you could test it and give me some feedback I would be very grateful.

LastSamurai

@RVMRVM Sorry I haven't had the time to test anything yet (was working on another project). Might take me a while to get to.

@patrick-schaerer
hi patrick
i follow your guide with command to install MPC23017 Binding on openhab2
sudo chmod openhab.openhab /usr/share/openhab2/addons/org.openhab.binding.mcp23017-1.9.0.jar
but it not work and has information" chmod: invalid mode: ‘openhab.openhab’
then i take ":" instead of "." into account like
sudo chmod openhab:openhab /usr/share/openhab2/addons/org.openhab.binding.mcp23017-1.9.0.jar
but it same error
0_1496478264776_upload-ff8c1fc1-81fa-4e92-9e2d-46d4d7ca3f33
can you help me, please.
thanks you

TimO

@the-trung This thread is OpenHAB and MySensors binding related. Better ask here: https://community.openhab.org

In your case I suppose you need to switch chmod with chown.

I am trying to make use of the customSensor using org.openhab.binding.mysensors-2.1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar I see the node 12 var4 message arrive but it is not being assigned to my item; am I doing something wrong? I have tried both string and number item types.

@TimO is it possible to configure using paper ui?

cheers

@TimO
I follow your guid and it's ok, then i checks karaf and see there
is this mean i installed my binding?
and i have question
did you fix error : Unable to install bundle openhab-transport-serial
thanks you so much

TimO

@matt-shepherd yes!

TimO

@carlyler thank you for filing an issue, I'll look into it.

TimO

@the-trung yes, the binding seems to be installed. Serial transport is needed for MySensors. I'm not able to answer questions about mcp binding.

RVMRVM

@TimO Hey Tim, before i start test , i have installed OH2.1 build #925 on 2 new W8 pc's.
download the org.openhab.binding.mysensors-2.1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar file and put it in the addons folder.

@RVMRVM

Did you run feature:install openhab-transport-serial, on OH console?

RVMRVM

Oh yes, i dit not, that was the problem, now i can start to test the RGB-RGBW , hope that i can run this
thanks for the quit reaction
Roger

RVMRVM

@TimO Hello, i tried the RGB & RGBW , it looks ok but there are no commands that been send to the node and this for every item, a'im new in the openHab world, so that will be the problem.
the result is the same for RGB & RGBW
my .things file:

Bridge mysensors:bridge-eth:gateway [ ipAddress="192.168.2.190", tcpPort=5003, sendDelay=200 ] {

rgbwLight:RGBW_23_Color [ nodeId="23", childId="1", requestAck=false ]
dimmer:RGBW_23_Dimmer [ nodeId="23", childId="2", requestAck=false ]
}

my .items file:

Group GF_Living "Living Room" <video> (gGF)

/* Indoor Temperatures */
//Number Temperature_GF_Living "Temperature [%.1f °C]" <temperature> (Temperature, GF_Living)

Switch RGBW_23_Status "Living" (GF_Living, Lights) { channel="mysensors:bridge-eth:gateway:RGBW_23_Status"}
Dimmer RGBW_23_Dimmer "Living" <slider> (GF_Living, Lights) ["Lighting"] { channel="mysensors:bridge-eth:gateway:RGBW_23_Dimmer"}
Color RGBW_23_Color "RGBW Light" <colorwheel> {channel = "mysensors:bridge-eth:gateway:RGBW_23_Color"}

and my .sitemap file

}

as result we have:

so what is wrong here ?

Hi @TimO,

I also tried the RGB Light and it seems to be working! (I am using Maghac's RGB LED strip sketch)
Auto discovery worked instantly. I did have to work with the .items file to get the color picker instead of a text input. I also get these two errors every time I send a command:

16:57:36.770 [INFO ] [smarthome.event.ItemCommandEvent    ] - Item 'rgbLight01' received command 124,89,100
16:57:36.809 [INFO ] [marthome.event.ItemStateChangedEvent] - rgbLight01 changed from 359,91,100 to 124,89,100
16:57:37.117 [WARN ] [rs.internal.gateway.MySensorsGateway] - Variable 2 not present
16:57:37.222 [WARN ] [rs.internal.gateway.MySensorsGateway] - Variable 3 not present

As I'm relatively new to MySensors, I was wondering if it is normal that the RGB Light Sensor channel is used for this. Or is this just temporary until an actual RGB channel is made?

matt shepherd

I've been trying to figure this out for a while. For me openhab discovers 4 things Red, Green, Blue and Status. These are all dimmers and I can't get them all to work together as 1 colour wheel? They all work really well independently but that's as far as I got. I've also tried the .items file but with no luck.

Hello!
I just started to play with OpenHab2 and new binding? thank you for great work.
But, i discover some strange behavior:
Openhab2, ethernet gateway, 3 mysensor nodes, all nodes sucessfully detected and configured in PaperUI, but some data looks like not updated. Looking to log i note some suspicious lines like:

00:28:47.077 [DEBUG] [rsAbstractConnection$MySensorsReader] - 3;1;1;0;0;24.6
00:28:47.078 [DEBUG] [rs.internal.gateway.MySensorsGateway] - Node 3 found in gateway
00:28:47.078 [DEBUG] [rs.internal.gateway.MySensorsGateway] - Child 1 found in node 3
00:28:47.078 [WARN ] [rs.internal.gateway.MySensorsGateway] - Variable 0 not present

Sorry, i don't know how to dump OpenHab configuration, but item configured.
Any suggestions?

@matt-shepherd What works for me :
items - just used 1 channel, V_VAR1, but you could keep them separate

String neoPixelRgb           "RGB LED string"                           (grpLighting)  { channel="mysensors:rgbLight:ethGateway:rgb01:var1" }
Color neoPixelColor         "RGB LED string"            <colorwheel>    (grpLighting)

rule

rule "Set RGB value NeoPixelStrip"
when
    Item neoPixelColor changed
then
    val hsbValue = neoPixelColor.state as HSBType

    val brightness = hsbValue.brightness.intValue
    val redValue = ((((hsbValue.red.intValue * 255) / 100) * brightness) / 100)
    val grnValue = ((((hsbValue.green.intValue * 255) / 100) * brightness) / 100)
    val bluValue = ((((hsbValue.blue.intValue * 255) / 100) * brightness) / 100)

    val rgbHexString = String::format("%02X%02X%02X", redValue, grnValue, bluValue)
    sendCommand(neoPixelRgb, rgbHexString)
end

parsed in node

  if (message.type == V_VAR1)
  {
    // Write some debug info
    Serial.print(", New status, V_RGB: ");
    Serial.println(message.getString());

    // starting to process the hex code
    String hexstring = message.getString(); //here goes the hex color code coming from through MySensors (like FF9A00)
    long number = (long) strtol( &hexstring[0], NULL, 16);
    RGB_values[0] = number >> 16;
    RGB_values[1] = number >> 8 & 0xFF;
    RGB_values[2] = number & 0xFF;

    colorWipe(strip.Color(RGB_values[0], RGB_values[1], RGB_values[2]), 50);
  }

@TimO Hey all, looks everything seems to work now, but now i have defined the bindings by the paper UI, and work with the rule definition as show by 'doctor64' ....
thanks for the help
Roger

TimO

@FusedHe3 Thank you for testing and your input!

The sketch you are using is representing itself as a RGB sensor and the log you've posted looks good.

About the fiddling with the .items file and the color picker: Thank you! That should'nt be needed anymore, I've changed it here: RGB-Test-Binding

TimO

@RVMRVM The definitions carlyler posted looks fine and I've tried to implement this logic into the binding so you won't need the rule anymore. Feel free to test my binding or stay with the rule. Hopefully both would lead to the same result.

TimO

Hey @doctor64 !

Please open a new topic. This one is getting really huge.

Please check if the temperature channel is linked. In PaperUI you may do this by moving to "Configuration" -> "Things" and click on the sensor data.

FusedHe3

@TimO No problem, glad to help!

I'll try to alter the sketch and use the new version of the binding as soon as I have my LED strip running again.

RVMRVM

@TimO Perfect, is OK for RGB & RGBW... but now the datastring you send is a decimal string, not a HEX-string as they used normal, it is not a big problem to change this feature in the node script, if you want to have a decimal string.
How do you handle the white color, becaus this is not included in the datastring info. maybe by a switch and a other variable .
something like this:

0_1497272329084_upload-bc139de4-29ff-4760-ac5e-7746249546fc

@RVMRVM Interesting. Do you have a corresponding log for me?

Here's my test:

@TimO this is the log of the node:

Hello @TimO !
I delete all things and items (btw, seems like items not deleted completely, and re-apperas after item re-create), create things again and not see error anymore. Some black magic in action, looks like.
I will create separate topic if this issue appears again. Thank you!

FusedHe3

@TimO Just tried the changes you made. Color picker now worked straight away!

I also checked the sketch and it seems to be declaring itself as an RGB Light, not as a sensor. But could it be that what I see in the PaperUI are just the labels that still need to be changed?

void presentation()
{
  // Send the Sketch Version Information to the Gateway
  sendSketchInfo(SN, SV);
  present(CHILD_ID_LIGHT, S_RGB_LIGHT);
}

One last question: the Variable 2 not present error I get everytime a command is send, is that because those two variables aren't set in the sketch I'm using?

Thanks!

edsteve

Hi,

just a quick question:
OpenHab2 can be used without touching any code right?
I use mysensors serial gateway. Tried to set it up all day yesterday from skratch. Also with OpenHabian. But no success.
So it seems i still have to edit files and folders manually in order to get it running right?

I got Domoticz working after short time. Was expecting OpenHab2 makes it even more easy

TimO

@FusedHe3 Please enable DEBUG mode in the karaf console and paste the output around Variable 2 not present here.

TimO

@edsteve Yes, that's one goal of the binding. For the serial gateway the hardest part is to determine the path of the serial port. Something like: /dev/ttyUSB0 or /dev/ttyACM0 if you're using Linux.

What exactly does not work? Please attach a log from the karaf console.

edsteve

@TimO
I use Nano Neo as Hardware with Armbian Linux and OpenHabian on top. The bundle:list showed me mysensors.
I don't find any Things. Where do i have to put this info: /dev/ttyUSB0 or /dev/ttyACM0?? In which config file?
Now i get an error with karaf saying "connection refused" when i try:

ssh -p 8101 openhab@localhost

Yesterday it worked... the karaf thing make it even more difficult.

EDIT: I just found out that i have to make a demo.things file with the code for the serial gateway.... And for sure that was not the last file which needs manual editing. I go back to Domoticz. Till OpenHab becomes same easy.

FusedHe3

@TimO Thanks for investigating!
Here's the log, but I don't know if it's of any more help.

I guess it may have something to do with a V_light and V_dimmer answer that is being send by the node. (As a reminder: I'm using this this one.)

@TimO So I finally got around to testing the RGBW version of the plugin. I tested it with one sensor (light and the battery voltage) and an RGBW node.
0_1497559852937_upload-304efabd-cb8d-431a-8287-a6203833c303

Results:

RGBW color settings works well. Its a message of lengths 8 (e.g. 00ff5100) instead of the 9 from domoticz (#00ff5100). So I had to change my node's code. But your solution looks cleaner, so I guess thats fine What didn't work are all the other values beside "color". As you can see I changed the variable 1-4 and it gets send to the node as message type 24-27, which are custom variables... why did you use these?
RGBW on/off did not work. The "status" button does nothing. Log below. Would be nice to have a button to send on/off commands to the nodes.
Light and Voltage sensors seem to work just fine

By the way, short question about openhab 2: what is the difference between things and items? Seems like items/sitemaps are used in the "old" frontends to display sensors/actors. Are things the same for the new paperUI? I have just used that one yet. And why do I have to declare the gateway in a file while the rest is auto discovered (also it seems like some of you also added their sensors to the file with the gateway definition)?
Seems to be hard to find up-to-date easy information on these things, so thanks in advance for an explanation.

Log from the status button:

22:55:02.378 [INFO ] [smarthome.event.ItemCommandEvent    ] - Item 'mysensors_rgbwLight_gateway_rgbwlight_10_1_status' received command OFF
22:55:02.402 [WARN ] [ensors.handler.MySensorsThingHandler] - Variable not found, cannot handle command for thing mysensors:rgbwLight:gateway:rgbwlight_10_1 of type status
22:55:02.440 [INFO ] [marthome.event.ItemStateChangedEvent] - mysensors_rgbwLight_gateway_rgbwlight_10_1_status changed from ON to OFF

LastSamurai

By the way has someone running openhab together with an echo (alexa)? I am currently trying to use that combination and at least with the RGBW nodes there seems to be no reaction (yet) to the commands.

Hello,
With 2 nodes, first has 1 child with id 0 , second has 2 children, id 0 and id 1, I get the following in the logs. Second node is not picked up.
Used the openhab2 zip and the jar from here http://www.oberfoell.com/openhab2/org.openhab.binding.mysensors-2.1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar for the installation.
All the configuration was done from the paperui.
Any thoughts ?
Best regards,
Romeo

TimO

@frg Please enter log:set DEBUG org.openhab.binding.mysensors in the karaf console and post the debug log of the binding here.

TimO

@LastSamurai Thank you for the feedback!!

I'm glad RGBW seems to work.
RGBW status indeed wasn't working, that definately was a bug and is fixed now (for RGB too).

About your general questions:

You don't have to define the gateway in the things file. It is not discovered automatically, as this is something that is not very easy to implement (i.e. search for serial connections on windows / linux, search for network devices, is it a gateway or not?)
You may just use PaperUI: Configurations -> Things and hit the white plus sign in the blue circle and select serial or ethernet gateway.

When it comes to things and items: for me, a thing is a sensor. For example the RGBW sensor is a thing in the OpenHab world. There are a few channels (children) that are frequently found, when this sensor is used: one channel for RGBW, one for status and occasionally var1-var4 and battery. The thing is defined by its channels. The thing is a representation of the hardware in this case.
The items are the representation for the UI and the user. The user uses the Color picker and the thing/hardware needs a string (#aabbccdd). There may be "hardware" behind an item but there is no need to. An example is the lastUpdate channel/item. The information is not send by the sensor, it is generated by the controller/binding.

@Timo
I attached the file.
https://notebin.cc/1jhks38r3sw
If there is something else you need me to do let me know.

TimO

@frg Okay, this is interesting.
After reviewing your log, I have no idea why this message still appears. There are 7 incoming presentation messages, all handled before. After about four minutes after the last presentation message was received there are 7 warnings about already presented childs. I don't see that behaviour in my log.
It's nothing serious we need to worry about, maybe the category "WARN" is exaggerated for this message. I'll look for that behaviour in my system, so that I may be able to reproduce it, but at the moment I don't see anything I am able to do here.

@TimO , did you ever get MQTT to work or do you need someone to test?

TimO

Hey @Nicklas-Starkel !

Actually there is a PR for MQTT support which is a huge leap forward and needs testing: https://github.com/tobof/openhab2-addons/pull/75

I'm 90% done on fulfilling the OH2 development compliance: https://github.com/openhab/openhab2-addons/pull/2066 which I'm working on since weeks (months).

My road map is:

Finish the work on the compliance. (Maybe this week, for sure next week)
Move repository to 2.2.0 snapshot
Integrate RGB(W)
Integrate MQTT

RGB(W) needs some more attention, because there is a bug in the conversion and it needs some more testing.

The current work is a second refactoring with many changes. Also a few options (names) have changed which need some attention by the users because configurations need to be adjusted. Hopefully the names now speak more for itself.
I've also extended the JUnit Testing of the binding (which I'll need to quickly fix the RGB(W) bug).

I need to catch up with the development of the openhab2-addons base. This is done after the OH2 compliance is done. At the moment I can't compile a MQTT testversion of the binding because the repository needs to be moved to 2.2.0 Snapshot.

Sadly the process for OH2 compliance is at the moment blocking the enhancements of the binding. I had no idea this would take so long.

Hello forum! I am very new with mySensors and OpenHAB (you've heard it before). I have OpenHab 2.1 running on Raspberri Pi2. I configured Z-wave binding, things and a few items, and it works fine. Now I am trying to bind OpenHab to a serial gateway build with Arduino Nano. The default example sketch is loaded to Arduino. The latest v2.1.0 mySensors .jar is placed in \openhab2-addons. I configured serial port as /dev/pts/2 but Gateway is offline. I tried to reboot Raspberry, Arduino but mySensors gateway is always offline, while Z-wave is online and operational. What am I doing wrong?

TimO

@APL2017 The device is definitely wrong. It should be something like /dev/ttyUSB1. Execute dmesg in the console and look for usb, ch340, ch341 or ft232.

APL2017

@TimO said in openHAB 2.0 binding:

dmesg

Thank you! When I entered serial ports as /dev/ttyUSB0, as reported by dmesg, the mySensors serial gateway binding came alive in OpenHAB. Initially, I got confused by instructions how to setup gateway in https://github.com/tobof/openhab2-addons/wiki/Configuration where I spotted serialPort="/dev/pts/2"

rob

Hello i installed openhab 2.1 and the openhab jar 2.1 file in addons directory the gateway (serial) is up and running, in the log i see the senors !! but the autodiscovery stops the second i start it and wont show anny sensors but i do see them in the log if i replace the 2.1 jar with the 2.0 jar the autodiscovery runs but doesnt show anny sensors. i had it all working but decided to start from scratch again.

Im doing something wrong but cant figure it out.

TimO

Hello @rob!

The autodiscovery is always active since version 2.1 of the binding, so there is no need to start it manually. A click on start will actually restart the scanning.
Have you checked the inbox folder? What's the debug output?

rob

@TimO Thank you for your quick reaction (and good work !!) inbox folder is empty. and here is a copy paste of the log file

@rob
As I see from log, gateway unable to send to sensor 5 response to find parent
2017-07-05 12:56:14.193 [DEBUG] [rsAbstractConnection$MySensorsReader] - 0;255;3;0;9;205371 !TSF:MSG:SEND,0-0-5-5,s=255,c=3,t=8,pt=1,l=1,sg=0,ft=0,st=NACK:0

I recommend to debug your radio link, may be using MYSController

rob

@doctor64 the node 5 i manually added to openhab its a relay but isnt found with discovery (i have like 30 nodes a bunch of hue lights etc etc) everthing worked ok but my pi/openhab was taken down by the wife so had to rebuild from scratch and now the log shows the sensors but openhab wil not show me them

doctor64

@rob I have similar problems caused by unstable radio link. Long debug and playing with position of gateway and sensors in apartment, radio channel, etc resolved it, but it can be very frustrating. I recommend from my experience try to reduce distance between gateway and sensor and use MYScontroller as debug tool. Once you have stable sensor network openhab plugin start working like a charm.

As far as I understand, mysensor and openhab plugin works like this (timo, correct me if I wrong)
1: sensor establish link to gateway.
2: sensor request node ID from gateway.
3: plugin generate node ID and send it via gateway to sensor
4: if sensor with nodeID not defined aready in plugin config, sensor added to detected inbox

Looks like your setup stopped somewhere on step 3, but as check I recommend use myscontroller as independent verification

rob

@doctor64 thank you for your response !! i have my node id coded in the sensors and everything worked perfect im still thinking i made a misstake somewhere in installing openhab and mysensors the other bindings work perfect, i have it all setup in a 19inch cabinet and thats still in the same place.

rob

i just build a ethernet gateway and tried that its connected but doesnt show me the sensors like the serial gateway did in the logs it gives a different warning and i noticed that the cache only shows the node 5 i added manually not the other sensors the log showed...

@rob There definitely is a problem with the link between node(s) and the gateway. This is not related to the binding / controller.
Often this is related to a weak power supply.
Do you have MySensors nodes already working with one of the gateways you've build?

rob

@TimO Yeah it worked for months with a bunch of sensors like 10 temp/hum sensors relays weatherstation etc with the 2.0 binding and the hue binding etc bunch of rules had the whole house automated with alarm and whatnot and stable but then the misses managed to destroy the pi/openhab server (im still making her pay tho :D) i got the capicitators on the nrf etc all by the book made them all myself and programmed them all myself. got a new pi installed openhab 2.1 and the 2.1 binding but i just cant get them to talk to openhab again (was running 2.0 before) i reinstalled raspbian and openhab like a gazillion times now made al the opgrades incl java and the feature binding install etc.. im cleuless now

rob

@TimO i powerd the gateway with a NAS server its usb port the pi its usb port more then enough power and with a wall socket adapter used for phones and a powered usb hub i also use for external hds and all gave me the same result nojoy

stoffej

Any progress? Since I also can not see the sensors after updating to openhab 2.1.
