openHAB 2.2 binding

TimO

You say "This version..." Do you mean to use two "MySensors Serial Gateways" connected to one controller with OpenHAB?
Does this mean that if I connect one more "MySensor Serial Gateway" to my controller that I will have one more "MySensor Serial Gateway" thing but with another bridge definition?

This special version is only needed, if you're using another binding that also uses a serial device (RFXCOM, zwave, ebus ...). Two serial gateways with the MySensors binding work just fine. And yes, you are able to use more than one bridge/gateway. (I'm using: 1x RF24 Ethernet, 1x RFM69 Ethernet, 1x Serial gateway)

In the file "org.eclipse.smarthome.core.thing.Thing.json" there are no things defined with i.e. nodeid="1" and childid="2" it looks like this
"mysensors:temperature:709db93f:temperature_2_1" i.e. nodeid 2 childid 1. Do I look in the wrong file?

If you have used an older version of the MySensors binding and have configured the things via PaperUI the old configuration won't work with the new releases of the binding. The old configuration still works with the old binding (2.1). The safest way to switch to the new binding / configuration is to delete the old items and discover them again. It should be possible to migrate the jsondb file, but I've not done this before, so I can't help you there.

@TimO

The ERROR 409 was because I had defined the binding in a things file, and then tried to use paper ui to add sensors, apparently that is not allowed..

I use

socat PTY,link=/dev/ttyS81,mode=666,group=dialout,raw PTY,link=/dev/ttyUSB21,mode=666,group=dialout,raw

To start socat up, nodered is listening on ttyS81, and openhab is on ttyUSB21.

I have now deleted the things file, and configured the gateway through paperui, I have disabled startup check so the gateway seems to be online.

If I do a cat /dev/ttyUSB21 I get the data from the gateway, so node-red is passing on the data without problems.

But openhab still spews out errors in the log every other second or so:

@TimO

Found my issue after digging through both openhab and nodered..

I had forgotten to add /n to data sent out on the virtual serial port towards openhab. As soon as I added that, then everything was working..

Now, I just have to grasp the concept in openhab, which might take some time.

syren

@philro I have the same issue on the 2.2 binding: when the esp8266 based ethernet gateway is restartet, only restarting the Openhab service to appears to restore communication between openhab and the gateway

LastSamurai

Ok small update to my post above: I can add an RGBW node via the paperUI and then control it via items defined in the items file.
But why does the same thing not work for things defined via the things file? Is something wrong with:

Bridge mysensors:bridge-ser:gwSerial [ serialPort="/dev/ttyUSB0", sendDelay=100 ] {

    /** Lights */
    rgbwLight 		LichtKuecheUnten	[nodeID=4, childId=1, requestAck=true]
    //...
}

The thing created by the paperui is called

mysensors:rgbwLight:gwSerial:rgbwlight_4_1:status / rgbw / ....

so my settings are correct.

Also is there a way to control the white part of the light? I have a colorpicker for that item linked to the rgbw channel but this seem to only change the color and brightness, ignoring the white part of the RGBW.

PS I also sometimes get an acknowledgment message when no actual messages from/to the gateway and node are in the logs and the node doesn't react at all. Any idea how that can happen? It seems to mainly happen when switch very fast but I am not 100% sure about that.

19:47:18.881 [INFO ] [rsAbstractConnection$MySensorsWriter] - ACK received for message: 4;1;1;1;2;1

Should I report these error in a github issue?

TimO

@philro and @syren : to get this straight: The sanity check is enabled but it won't send messages to the gateway after the connection is lost? The monitoring of the connection in the binding is very top-level, so it may happen, that a connection is lost and there is no information about that. But the sanity check needs to fail in that case and should try a reconnect.
What are your exact parameters for the bridge/gateway?

LastSamurai

I just reported some of my issues in the github repo. There might still be some errors there.
I'll try to help solving them as best as I can as @TimO 's work with the integration into openhab 2 seems pretty awesome too me :+1:
I am trying to switch to openhab anyways and am not that bad at developing in java. Perhaps I can be of some help there.

Here are the gitHub issues
Dimmer not working
Things definition not working

TimO

@LastSamurai Thank you for your kind words and I'm very glad if you could help here. The RGBW implementation is the most advanced and I've no RGBW sensor myself to test it.

I've commented your issue reports!

LastSamurai

@TimO Thank you! You already solved one of my problems. I'll try to also look into the dimming problem although I first need to understand the openhab structure.

I just added another issue in github as sometimes my nodes don't seem to update.

Also I really want to be able to only activate the white part of the node when needed (as mixed white just looks bad, afterall thats why you use RGBW leds). I can change the level of the white leds via my openhab android app but I have found no way to set the leds to 00 00 00 FF. The RGB part always stays on. Should I add another gitHub issue for this or is there just some other kind of control I need to use?

philro

@TimO Sorry for the delay
the Problem is that the sanity-check didn't recognize if the Gateway is offline.
My Settings are quite standard. I took a screenshot of my Settings and from the openhab Things page. At the Moment where the screenshot was taken, the Gateway are powered off till 24 hours.
So, no Sensor or Gateway could be online

After i powered the Gateway on again, nothing happens in openHAB. I need to restart openHAB and all starts working again.

I have the same problem as @philro describe. I run a new topic here https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/7346/openhab-don-t-want-to-reconnect-after-gateway-restart . When I disconnect and than connect again or restart gateway everything seems to be Online but I can't take no action with actuators and don't receive any information from nodes. Also in log of OpenHab and gateway debug I can't see any "sanity check" behavior.

nofox

There are some new issues, OpenHab disconnect form gateway by it self, and did not reconnect. It was in the middle of the night when only temperature sensors sending data sometimes when temperature change.. After I restart openhab2 service all starts to work normal..

nofox

Ok, I've found that sanity check starting when you configure your thing through .thing file not from PaperUI. The sanity checker runs but when I disconnect and connect gateway sanity check send message to gateway and return that gateway isn't connected and start counting retries to disconnecting. That repeats until I restart OpenHab..

TimO

@nofox It's definatly not working the way it should work. It also should not make any difference if the configuration comes from PaperUI or from a .thing file. It is not possible to differentiate between those configuration modes within the binding.

My gateways are using static IPs, so I need to find a way to reproduce this behaviour. :-)

philro

@TimO, i could reproduce this problem if i power down the gateway for some Minutes

nofox

@TimO I confirm, I could reproduce that simply by resetting gateway or disconnect it from the network for a second. My gateway and controller are also on static IPs.

nofox

I don't know if it would help but openhab reconnects with the gateway when I change something in .things file and save it. Binding reloads and all starts to comunicate again.

andreacioni

@philro @nofox
We are discussing this issue on GitHub. Probably we have found the problem and a possible, temporary, solution. If you can try it it would be useful, thanks! :blush:

LastSamurai

I have added 2 more issues in github. Most importantly there seems to be an issue with ACK right now. So if you have enabled acknowledgment on one of your things and sometimes see no reactions from your leds (or whatever you are using) try disabling ACK. I helped in my case.

krejcarek

Hello,
Not sure if it is related to the above mentioned ACK issue... I have some distanced actuators, and was heavily relying on the repeated message send if no ACK. I habe the impression with this upgrade, it does not work as before. Can it be the case?
