openHAB 2.0 binding

[matt shepherd]

Have you tried using Mqtt? I've recently set up a motion sensor with a mqtt gateway and it seems to be more reliable. The motion just sends a 1 for motion or 0 for no motion (obvs). I have a rule that says turn lights on if motion state =1 .You don't have to worry about connecting 'things' with openhab as you use the mqtt binding.

@matt-shepherd
for now not.
The problem is more, that openhab 2 accepts only one device per Node with the 2.0 binding. It doesn´t matter if it it a motion sensor or if it is a second relay.

Alway´s if I setup a second thing with a existing ChildID,... the first Thing is not working anymore (LOG = Child x not present in Node x ).

I tried to install on a second Raspberry with OpenHab2 and MySensors2.0 binding (Openhabian) and there is the same issue.

That´s really really strange.

I would like to attempt the irrigation controller with this binding, I believe the "light" thing is used. This only has channels: Status, Battery, LastUpdate. Is it possible to add more channels to the light thing ?, ie: V_VAR1 ... V_VAR3, regards.

[andreacioni]

@mick you aren't the first asking that :sweat_smile: . I opened a new issue on GitHub (https://github.com/tobof/openhab2-addons/issues/95) to discuss about adding it to the binding.

Cheers @andreacioni - fingers crossed :+1:

Hi @doctor64, could you please post your things configuration file?

[doctor64]

@andreacioni All mySensors item defined using auto-discovery, so no things file in configuration. I'm think you mean this file? 0_1506175698221_org.eclipse.smarthome.core.thing.Thing.json

[andreacioni]

@doctor64 it is enough, I can replicate it. Thanks for reporting this issue :smile: . You can keep track of it here: https://github.com/tobof/openhab2-addons/issues/97

Today brand new setup with fail results.

I have installed a brand new OH2 snapshot build #1047 and the latest relese of the binding available.

I am using just a single node as ethernet gateway. After a couple of minutes the binding stops sending the messages to the node. It logs as it would send them but nothing is really sent out. I have sniffed the connection with wireshark.

Sometimes, while looking the binding debug logs at OH2 console, it hangs and I have to restablish the connection. This last issue seems more related to OH2 itself but maybe something wrong in the binding is causing it. Again, the is not a single clue in the logs about this.

I have just installed the OH2.1 stable release with the latest release of the binding and everything runs great yet.

Anyone with a similar experience?

[AndrewZ]

@gonzalonal I've observed something similar on my system, as I recall the binding wasn't even able to establish the initial connection to a gateway. Have OH upgraded today from an earlier build (~3 weeks old).

Is it possible to implement RS485 Gateway? Or it works with Serial Gateway?

[รอเรือ]

I get this in my log sometimes:

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

I use MySensors Binding 2.3.0.201801160936 on a serial gateway with mysensors 2.2.0

Where shall I insert the thing node and what should it look like?
