    I have a general question that I can't seem to find an answer to either here, in the openhab docs, or anywhere googling between the two.

    On a Raspberry Pi 3 running openhabian 1.4 (stretch 9.4)
    running openhab 2.2
    Mosquitto 1.4.10
    mysgw 2.2.0 (MQTT)

    And an arduino pro mini 3.3v test sensor node running the door/button sketch at version 2.2.0 also.

    The sensor node can communicate over rf24 just fine and the broker receives and sends messages to it without issue.

    My question is this: Does this openhab 2.2 mysensors binding replace or work in concert with the original openhab 2.2 PaperUI-installed MQTT binding? And same for the MySensors MQTT Gateway that's part of the Mysensors binding and mysgw?

    I ask because when I follow the installation instructions from the github wiki and start everything up, I get a persistence in use error in org.eclipse.smarthome.io.transport.mqtt.MqttService. And it appears that my original broker is running fine, which suggests I'm trying to run two brokers and they're uninterested in cooperating.

    The installation instructions I've seen (a couple places) say to use mqtt.cfg and org.eclipse.smarthome.mqtt.cfg with the same settings.

    Hoping the answer is a simple, "stop mysgw and just run the paperUI MQTT Gateway" or the like.

    Thanks!

    @fixjunk replying to myself...

    seems like installing esh-io-transport-mqtt in karaf causes the broker problem.
    without it installed the logs show:

    It looks like the openhab broker and the eclipse brokers are conflicting?

      @fixjunk - I'm having the same problem and it's driving me crazy. I don't mind some troubleshooting but OpenHAB is new territory for me and I just can't find the problem.

      I have set up two mqtt broker connections (in two config files) for debugging. For the Eclipse bundle I define the connection "huset_mqtt" with user "openhab". For the legacy OpenHAB binding I define a connection "huset_mqtt_legacy" with user "openhab-legacy. Both connect to the same mosquitto server.

      I don't think there is a conflict between the openHAB MQTT Binding and esh-io-transport-mqtt. To test it I stopped the openHAB MQTT binding and transport bundles. The warning is still there even when only the Eclipse SmartHome MQTT Transport Bundle is running.

      When all bundles are running, I first stop the legacy broker and the log looks as expected. But when I restart the Eclipse bundle the warning "Persistence already in use" is thrown (below):

      2018-05-04 22:10:09.739 [INFO ] [penhab.io.transport.mqtt.MqttService] - Stopping broker connection 'huset_mqtt_legacy'
      2018-05-04 22:17:47.270 [INFO ] [.transport.mqtt.MqttBrokerConnection] - Starting MQTT broker connection 'huset_mqtt' to 'tcp://

      arthome.io.transport.mqtt:0.10.0.b1]
      

      However, it is clear that the Eclipse broker connection does not fail completely. Mosquitto logs and mqtt-spy confirm that both transports/binding actually connect to the mosquitto server. One at a time or both at the same time.

      Below is the mosquitto log when I restart the OpenHAB MQTT transport, the OpenHAB MQTT binding and last the Eclipse MQTT transport. Clearly the clients disconnect and then reconnects like they should.

      1525466428: Client OpenHab_legacy disconnected.
      1525466428: New connection from 192.168.1.5 on port 1883.

      1525467446: New client connected from 192.168.1.5 as OpenHab (c1, k60, u'openhab').
      

      To test the two mqtt broker connections I have set up test switches in an .items file:

      Switch MQTT_TEST_legacy "Testing..." { mqtt="<[huset_MQTT_legacy:testing/mqtt/topic:state:default], >[huset_MQTT_legacy:testing/mqtt/back-topic:command:*:default]" }
      Switch MQTT_TEST_new "Testing..." { mqtt="<[huset_MQTT:testing/mqtt/topic:state:default], >[huset_MQTT:testing/mqtt/back-topic:command:*:default]" }
      

      To test them I manually send the message "ON" to the topic "testing/mqtt/topic". The MQTT_TEST_legacy switch state changes to ON. So the legacy OpenHAB binding works fine.
      However, the MQTT_TEST switch that uses the Eclipse mqtt broker/transporrt does not respond at all to my messages.

      To summarize, the Eclipse mqtt feature throws a warning but connects to my mosquitto server,and then wont change items with messages I send.

      Am I missing a component, or what could possibly be the reason?

      It is a basic, fresh install of OpenHAB 2.2 on openhabian. I have cleaned caches and tmp, cleaned up config files in /var/lib/openhab/config and even reinstalled OpenHAB. The Mysensors binding 2.2.0.201710190834 is running.

      Now I don't even have a clue on what to check next.
      OpenHAB gurus out there - please help me!

        To test the two mqtt broker connections I have set up test switches in an .items file:

        Switch MQTT_TEST_legacy "Testing..." { mqtt="<[huset_MQTT_legacy:testing/mqtt/topic:state:default], >[huset_MQTT_legacy:testing/mqtt/back-topic:command:*:default]" }
        Switch MQTT_TEST_new "Testing..." { mqtt="<[huset_MQTT:testing/mqtt/topic:state:default], >[huset_MQTT:testing/mqtt/back-topic:command:*:default]" }
        

        To test them I manually send the message "ON" to the topic "testing/mqtt/topic". The MQTT_TEST_legacy switch state changes to ON. So the legacy OpenHAB binding works fine.
        However, the MQTT_TEST switch that uses the Eclipse mqtt broker/transporrt does not respond at all to my messages.

        To summarize, the Eclipse mqtt feature throws a warning but connects to my mosquitto server,and then wont change items with messages I send.

        Am I missing a component, or what could possibly be the reason?

        It is a basic, fresh install of OpenHAB 2.2 on openhabian. I have cleaned caches and tmp, cleaned up config files in /var/lib/openhab/config and even reinstalled OpenHAB. The Mysensors binding 2.2.0.201710190834 is running.

        Now I don't even have a clue on what to check next.
        OpenHAB gurus out there - please help me!

        @fredswed Honestly, I've moved on to playing with HASS... but I can still share my thoughts.

        So there is no practical reason you need to run the MySensors MQTT stuff as OpenHAB can handle all the MQTT messages already without MySensors AddOn--it's just not very convenient to decipher a bunch of five level deep numeric topics that aren't intuitive. I guess I thought I was trying to be clever by doing it all in MQTT style instead of using something else (like Serial).

        So what I did when I was switching over to HASS was rebuild the gateway as a serial gateway and avoid the whole conflict. I don't technically need MQTT visibility of the sensors and HASS now autodiscovers the serial sensor gateway sensors just fine. I suspect OpenHAB would do the same.

        It's pretty trivial to rebuild the mysgw using serial as long as you're able to make your own /dev/ttyMySensorsGateway accessible by the openhab system (it might require changing owners or groups or both). For whatever reason, mine was root/root and not dialout or accessible to the automation software username. I just changed everything to the tty group and it all worked fine.

        The end result of using the serial gateway should be identical within OpenHAB--in theory it should auto discover your sensors and populate them in PaperUI. But I haven't tried or tested it.

          @fixjunk Thanks for responding - I have tried Domoticz and considered HASS but OpenHAB is the only controller that also supports my AllPlay speakers.

          Anyway, I gave up and reinstalled Openhabian. It breaks my heart to admit but it also gave me a chance to fix a few bugs and try some new things on the server.

          Net result: On a clean Openhabian 2.2 install with only the Eclipse MQTT bundle installed, the "Persistence in use" warning is still triggered. (I won't look further into it, it's only a warning.) The MySensors 2.3 binding connects as expected to the MQTT gateway and everything seems to work again.

          Well, not really. I managed to break both of my sensors while experimenting. So I guess I'm back to soldering tomorrow. :-)

            Re: Persistence in use error message, by accident (typo in specifying broker.clientId), I've figured out the cause:

            esh-io-transport-mqtt opens 2 connections to mosquito (not sure why), but as each connection needs a unique clientId, if you've specified a clientId, it will fail one of the connections with that error message.

            The solution is to remove your <broker>.clientId definition in the config file (also remember to remove the backup file, otherwise it won't have any effect). When you do this a unique clientId is generated on every connection (which you can see in the mosquito log), and the error message goes away.

            See these log files (Note without clientId, 2 connections from localhost are made and are pinging):

              @jet who knew! ultimately clientid isn't really a critical piece of info to provide, but not knowing that providing it causes the error is unfortunate.

              would this apply to future mqtt bindings using esh-io-transport-mqtt even besides mysensors, essentially rendering the broker.clientid setting useless?

                This happens before mysensors is even loaded, so yes.

                Here's the code: https://github.com/eclipse/smarthome/blob/master/bundles/io/org.eclipse.smarthome.io.transport.mqtt/src/main/java/org/eclipse/smarthome/io/transport/mqtt/MqttBrokerConnection.java

                But I'm not seeing anything requesting 2 connections, unless openhab is requesting it of something is wrong or not working with the reconnect code

                  Couldn't figure out why it launches 2 instances or how to stop it, it seems to be 2 instances launches from just one module (esh-io-transport-mqtt) if anybody figures out why, please post an update. Otherwise not defining clientId for now is a workaround.

                    Dear fellow openHAB2 binding users,

                    it's time for a new release of the binding. The added functionality is low, but under the hood there were a few changes, so after the refactoring @andreacioni has done at the beginning of this year, I've done some refactoring too, with the objective to fullfil the regulations for an integration into the official openhab2-addons repository.
                    I've tried to improve the readability of the configuration and of the code itself.

                    This leads to an important point: The current release is not backwards compatible!!
                    Whatever is configured (MySensors binding related) will not work anymore with the current release.

                    But why?

                    • nodeId & childId were Strings in the old bindings and now are Integer
                    • skipStartupCheck was renamed to startupCheckEnabled

                    If you've configured the things with the *.things file you just have to do two easy steps:

                    1. Look for skipStartupCheck and switch it with startupCheckEnabled and reverse the logic (true to false and vice versa)

                    2. Look for nodeId="123", childId="456" and remove the quotation marks ", so it will look like: nodeId=123, childId=456

                    Copy the new jar file into the addons folder, start OpenHAB2 and you're good to go.

                    If you've configured the things in PaperUI the easiest way is to delete all things and rediscover them. Of course in large installations this won't be much fun.

                    I hope this won't happen again in further versions! :s

                    Fixed in this release:

                    • RGB & RGBW corrections
                    • Removed bug that prevented autodiscovery of deleted things
                    • mysensors.test fragment added / tests moved
                    • Static code analysis
                    • Move to 2.2.0 Snapshot

                    The changes in functionality were small so there is no need to install the new version asap if you are able to forgo the above mentioned functionality.

                    Downloads:
                    OpenHAB MySensors Binding 2.2.0

                    OpenHAB MySensors Binding 2.1.0 (old binding version, with old configuration if you still need it)

                    @timo Looks like new binding no more support reporting of battery voltage from sensors, or I missed something?

                      If you've configured the things with the *.things file you just have to do two easy steps:

                      1. Look for skipStartupCheck and switch it with startupCheckEnabled and reverse the logic (true to false and vice versa)

                      2. Look for nodeId="123", childId="456" and remove the quotation marks ", so it will look like: nodeId=123, childId=456

                      Copy the new jar file into the addons folder, start OpenHAB2 and you're good to go.

                      If you've configured the things in PaperUI the easiest way is to delete all things and rediscover them. Of course in large installations this won't be much fun.

                      I hope this won't happen again in further versions! :s

                      Fixed in this release:

                      • RGB & RGBW corrections
                      • Removed bug that prevented autodiscovery of deleted things
                      • mysensors.test fragment added / tests moved
                      • Static code analysis
                      • Move to 2.2.0 Snapshot

                      The changes in functionality were small so there is no need to install the new version asap if you are able to forgo the above mentioned functionality.

                        @guillermo-schimmel Yes, the binding is (should) be compatible with OH 2.4 and I continue to hope for an integration in the main repository. ;-)
                        I've recently cleaned up the history of my git repository and will look forward to an integration in OH 2.5.

                            @guillermo-schimmel Hi there, it's me again. Do you still need to remove the other standard mqtt binding for this to work?

                            I'm getting HANDLER_INITIALIZING_ERROR.

                            Thanks

                              What is preventing this? I'm willing to help if needed.

                                Hello, I just started to use the mysensors binding 2.2 (moving from serial gateway to ethernet gateway to accomadate MYSController) and I have some (maybe stupid) questions I cant find the answers to (I have been poking around the forum though).

                                First off, I have a whole bunch of the same type nodes: child0=battery/child1=humidity/child2=temperature/child3=lightintensity/child4-9 are digital inputs for doors and windows. Are such nodes supported by the binding, and how to configure them? I can find temperature, humidity and lightlevel nodes in the list (paperUI) but how can i combine these?

                                Second, can the nodes be automaticly discovered by the binding? In my case i have to add them all manually.

                                Third, what are the var1-5 channels for? (is this the answer to my first question?)

                                Fourth, what is the difference between the two variable1 channels? in the channel name one says "var1" the other one says "custom"?

                                Fifth, is there a comprehencive tutorial out there on how to configure the nodes? (I have looked but cant seem to find one)

                                Sixed, when i add any sensor manualy i get a status for it of "UNINITIALIZED - HANDLER_INITIALIZING_ERROR ". The node ID/child ID is online sending data though.

                                am i using the latest stable version of the binding? I downloaded it a few weeks ago from eclipse market.

                                Any help would be appreciated

                                  @jimmy-loyens Ok now i found "some" info on the configuration via things/items files here:https://github.com/tobof/openhab2-addons/wiki/Configuration.

                                  Is there anything more i should know about?

                                  I configured an ethernet gateway and1 node with a temp, humidity, lightlevel and battery child. The battery child is not even showing up in paperUI, the other 3 are showing up as a thing (and online, bridge allso) but in control tab of paperUI all channels are shown as NaN.

                                    Yes they can. Use the openhab-mysensors-2.4.0-snapshot binding and they will appear.

                                    No there isn't. I think it would be a great idea to write something.
