openHAB 2.2 binding
-
@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:// 192.168.1.5:1883' with clientid OpenHab and file store '/var/lib/openhab2/tmp/huset_mqtt' 2018-05-04 22:17:47.349 [WARN ] [rthome.io.transport.mqtt.MqttService] - MqttBroker start failed: Persistence already in use org.eclipse.smarthome.io.transport.mqtt.MqttException: Persistence already in use at org.eclipse.smarthome.io.transport.mqtt.MqttBrokerConnection.start(MqttBrokerConnection.java:572) [214:org.eclipse.sm 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. 1525466428: New client connected from 192.168.1.5 as OpenHab_legacy (c1, k60, u'openhab-legacy'). 1525466645: Saving in-memory database to /var/lib/mosquitto/mosquitto.db. 1525467392: Client OpenHab_legacy disconnected. 1525467393: New connection from 192.168.1.5 on port 1883. 1525467393: New client connected from 192.168.1.5 as OpenHab_legacy (c1, k60, u'openhab-legacy'). 1525467446: Client OpenHab disconnected. 1525467446: 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!@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. :-)

@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.
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

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

@timo Hi! Do you plan to continue the development into openhab 2.4?
@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. -

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.
Third, what are the var1-5 channels for? (is this the answer to my first question?)
Good question. I wonder that myself. When you know it please tell me.
Fourth, what is the difference between the two variable1 channels? in the channel name one says "var1" the other one says "custom"?

No there isn't. I think it would be a great idea to write something.
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.I resolved a lot of those messages by restarting the complete OpenHAB. Not cool, but works.

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.
Yes they can. Use the openhab-mysensors-2.4.0-snapshot binding and they will appear.
Third, what are the var1-5 channels for? (is this the answer to my first question?)
Good question. I wonder that myself. When you know it please tell me.
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)
No there isn't. I think it would be a great idea to write something.
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.I resolved a lot of those messages by restarting the complete OpenHAB. Not cool, but works.
am i using the latest stable version of the binding? I downloaded it a few weeks ago from eclipse market.
Use this:

Any help would be appreciated

The 2.5-version of the binding does not work out of the box in OpenHAB 3 for me.

Namespace change of openHAB core classes
With the migration of Eclipse Smart Home to openHAB the namespace of all classes in openHAB core needed to be changed. This means all imports done by bindings that refer to org.eclipse.smarthome have been changed to org.openhab.core. With your binding code you can simply do a file level replace of this text string in the java source files to migrate the binding. On linux you can use the following commands in you src/main/java directory:find . -name *.java -exec sed -i "s/org.eclipse.smarthome.core/org.openhab.core/g" {} ;
find . -name *.java -exec sed -i "s/org.eclipse.smarthome/org.openhab.core/g" {} ;
