  • ST connectivty via WebIOPi/REST?

    This looks promising to at least get everything taking in the same place.

  • ST connectivty via WebIOPi/REST?
    G gigaguy

    Look like ST can read from WebIOPi running in rpi. https://community.smartthings.com/t/release-raspberry-pi-relay-controller-webiopi/36362

    Im wondering if it would be possible to somehow make MQTT available via WebIOPi, then to ST.

    Maybe this? https://github.com/chrismerck/mqtt2rest

    Has anyone tried anything like this?

  • Energy monitor from existing CT's

    @ewgor, like I said, I couldnt get mine built. Not sure what i did wrong. I got values, but they were the same whether current was going through or not. So i kind of gave up on it for a while. I too need some help getting it built.

    @ewgor I never got this working. Issue was with my board, ct, etc, not openhab. I dont see any reason openhab would have any issues with it.

    @epierre thanks. I do have 4 pins, and im using the analog one. I noticed the increasing value you mentioned. I tried to get raw and got a value, but when taking into the mic, the value doesn't appear to change. Does yours?

  • [Tutorial] openHAB with serial gateway

    How to I add I_BATTERY_LEVEL to the openhab rules? Being internal I wasnt sure if hashmap would do it.

    Something like this? Where Item is NodeX_Batt

            // Internal Command
            if(msgType == 3){
                if(subType == I_BATTERY_LEVEL){
                        postUpdate("Node" + nodeId + "_Batt, msg)
                        println("Node" + nodeId + "_Batt:" + msg)
                    }}

    Did anyone get this working? I have the 1st mic in epierre's picture above. I am getting values from it. I am currently using the analog pin, based on the posts here. The values dont seem accurate. They dont change with sound level. I am just trying to get a noise % level.

  • Connect mysensors node to existing alarm system.

    I tapped into a newer alarm systems door sensors by measuring the voltage via the analog pins. My alarm still works, but I can also see open/closed via mysensors/openhab.

  • Queued send commands?
    G gigaguy

    I use openhab and serial gw (ethernet component on its way). What is the best way to ensure a command gets sent if the node has a gw.wait or gw.sleep? I can see openhab sending the command, but if the node is sleeping it obviously doesnt get it.

    Could I just enable ack? would that force the gw to retry until it gets ack?

    Or should I just keep sending until I get the ack?

    TIA

  • How would I interface with Protection 1 alarm sensors?
    G gigaguy

    I was able to use a voltage measurement sketch in the arduino, and just connect up the arduino to the door sensor/zone(s) and ground. it was something like 6v when closed and way higher (maybe 50v+) when open. Then just send that to the controller/gateway. Hope that helps.

  • gw.sleep issues
    G gigaguy

    @barduino Yeah the Temp bounces around since I removed the sleep, it is far less variable with the sleep. I am going to try with the gw.wait, i think this is the one that still processes while it waits. If not, I will try millis.

  • MQ2 Sensor w/AirQuality Sketch

    @robosensor What is on pin 13? In the Setup() warmup part?
    btw, I am getting a value of 1 or 2, after warmup.

  • MQ2 Sensor w/AirQuality Sketch
    G gigaguy

    I bought a gas sensor MQ2 from ebay. trying to figure out how to connect it, and use the Air Quality Sketch.

    Ive got the analog connection on A0, not sure if i need to connect the digital pin too or not.

    I am getting a reading of 0ppm for all the measurements in the sketch.

    Any ideas? TIA.

  • gw.sleep issues
    G gigaguy

    Still nothing, as far as errors. It seems the nodes set up as relay are the ones that stop reporting. Should there be sensors on a relay node? maybe that is my issue?

    @GuyP Are you using the MYS or the Uno bootloader?

  • IR Blaster (progress)
    G gigaguy

    If I am understanding this thread correctly. This would be capable of repeating the IR signal, correct? So, if I put one of these in every room. I can use my universal remote or something similar to change the channel on a tv in another room?

  • Windows GUI/Controller for MySensors
    G gigaguy

    I have a some questions. Couldnt find answer anywhere.

    If I am using an arduino connected to the serial port on a Raspberry pi (w/openhab) How do I assign fw, reboot, etc?

    Do I need to disconnect the GW and use windows temporarily to reboot, update fw? or can I have 2 GW's?

    I updated my nano with the MYS bootloader, and after I power it on, it never shows up in MYSController.

    @ServiceXp Thanks. Thats what I was trying to find out.

    My Project

  • Energy monitor from existing CT's
    G gigaguy

    Thanks @ServiceXp That does help some.
    I guess i dont understand how to connect the ct to the arduino. I see your setup (burden resistor, etc). But since these are already installed, and connected via 110v into the wiser device. I dont want to also add the 5v from the arduino.

    I do have access to the CT wires coming into the device. Would I just connect at that point (while leaving them connected to wiser) and then just wire it up to arduino as if it weren't connected to anything else?

    I do have some more CT's coming in the mail, and will just setup a 2nd set of CT's if I cant get it working this way. Just seems like a waste to double them up.

    Measuring the ct wires via voltmeter. The only reading I got was from the 200ohm setting. The reading was 4.1. Not sure this helps. Maybe I am reading/using it wrong.

    Not sure if this made any sense.

    My Project

  • Energy monitor from existing CT's
    G gigaguy

    I was wondering if I could just tap into the CT directly, via arduino/mysensors.

    I am doing something similar with my alarm system. leaving it intact and functional, but piggybacking off the door sensors at the panel. (uses voltage levels)
