Sorry if this has been covered before, just curious why triggers in openluup are not consistent..
I looked at a scene i’d created a while back via ALTUI using the Console view and noticed it didn’t show any Triggers, which was strange as it was my main front door event 🙂 . So I added the door tripped trigger again, but I’ve just noticed I now how two tiggers using this view.

In ALTUI it shows this.
AK. Was doing an openLuup install and the installer errored with:

Oh - and by the way the dkjson.lua file seems to have been downloaded OK by the installer - error or no error, so go figure.
It’s been a while since I looked at openLuup as it had been running nicely and quietly in the background doing some basic tasks. With my VeraPlus looking like it’s finally succumbing to old age, I want to shift a number of the global module I have over to openLuup.
To do this, I have added the files (example would be xxpushover.lua to the cmh-ludl folder and the following to the startup
require “xxpushover”
The xxpushover.lua file itself starts with the following..
module("xxpushover", package.seeall)
And I always have a line in these files to allow me to check it’s been read in the start up related logs, which in this case it is..
The challenge I’m having is that when I try to call any of the functions within the module, it returns the following error..
"[string "ALTUI - LuaRunHandler"]:1: attempt to index global 'xxpushover' (a nil value)”
I’m no doubt missing something obvious, can anyone help me find out what it is ? Many thanks
Currently I have some Whisper files used by DataYours that been working well for ages and do what I want.
One of the files is called Watts_L1.d.wsp and uses this retention from "storage_schemas_conf" in openLuup file virtualfilesystem.lua:
[day] pattern = \.d$ retentions = 1m:1dInside the actual "Watts_L1.d.wsp" file is a header like so:
1, 86400, 0, 1 84, 60, 1440The 1, 86400 is one minute & one day (in minutes) as per the retention listed above. As a side issue I would like to know what the other header values mean ie what's the syntax here?
New challenge: I now have three Shelly variables named:
em1/0/act_power
em1/1/act_power
em1/2/act_power
with a device ID of "10006" and a SID of "shellypro3em"
And I would like to plot them using the Historian, just like I do with Watts_L1.d.wsp in DataYours. So I need a file in the history directory for the data. So I looked at doing this:
local whisper = require "openLuup.whisper" -- Syntax: history/0.deviceNumber.shortServiceId.variableName local filename = "history/0.10006.shellypro3em.em1/0/act_power.wsp" local archives = "1m:1d" whisper.create (filename,archives,0)Problem is that the variable names contains forward slashes, which are invalid filename characters. What to do?
Also should the retentions now be (to suit the latest openLuup software)?:
local archives = "1m:1d,10m:7d,1h:30d,3h:1y,1d:10y"Also "shellypro3em" is not a "shortServiceID" as per those listed in "servertables.lua". So can "shellypro3em" be used instead? ie can both short and long service IDs be used in the above call to whisper.create?
To try and minimized the frequency of writing to the SD card I want to move these log files to a RAM drive, like I already do with /var/log. Is there an 'official' way of doing this?

A list of openLuup releases including the latest developments…
master – stable, and infrequently updated, development – latest updates and bug fixes, testing – use only when advised!A long while ago (May, 2015) I wrote my 2000-th post on another forum: openLuup - running unmodified plugins on any machine.
Now rehosted at https://community.ezlo.com/t/openluup-running-unmodified-plugins-on-any-machine/187412
Here’s the gist of it:
...I want to work in a more open and stable [Vera] environment...
...All would be solved if Luup was open source and could be run on the plethora of cheap and reliable hardware available today. But it’s not. But we could get something like that effect if we engineered a sufficient subset of Luup to run on such a platform. Could it be done? What would we need?
1. UI
2. scheduler
3. web server
4. Luup compatible API
5. Device and Implementation xml file reader
6. Zwave bridge to Vera
7. runs most plugins without modification
What we wouldn’t need is UPnP.
What have we (nearly) got already?
We have, courtesy of @amg0, the most excellent AltUI: Alternate UI to UI7, and that, I think, is probably the hardest one to do in the above list. Items 2 - 5, and 7, I’ve prototyped, in pure Lua, and posted elsewhere: DataYours on Raspberry Pi, running selected plugins unmodified, including: DataYours, EventWatcher, Netatmo, RBLuaTest, altUI. See screenshot attached.Is it worth the effort? Probably not. Will I pursue this quest? Yes.
openLuup was the result.
Hoping you could tell us a bit about your experiences with ZWaveJS and MQTT.
Akbooer: it would be good if openLuup was added to the awesome mqtt resources list.
How to contribute is described here.
Looks like the GetSolarCoords() doesn't return the correct results. Right Ascension (RA) and
Declination (DEC) look OK. They presumably must be, as I have a light that goes on at sunset at the correct time for years.
Altitude and Azimuth look incorrect. They both have the hour angle in common, so I'm wondering if it's incorrect and hence the sidereal time. Should be able to convert the angle to hours and check it against this clock:
The formula used looks like Compute sidereal time on this page. Might be some mix up between JD2000 that has a 12 hour offset. Could also be some issue with the hour angle.
I'm assuming all Right Ascension (RA) and
Declination (DEC) are degrees plus & minus from north.
Likewise Altitude (ALT) and Azimuth (AZ) are in degrees?
Bit of caution: I haven't looked at this too closely, so may be barking up the wrong tree. It probably doesn't help living near Greenwich.
This site may also be helpful.
PS did you have a look at the link in my last PM?
Set up:
a) Many many many many kms from home: laptop connected to modem router. Router running wireguard client to create a virtual network.
b) Home: modem router running wireguard server. openLuup pi4 connect to router and also a PC and other stuff, etc.
The problem: When accessing charts, AltUI or the openLupp console the web pages are returned OK up to the point where they are truncated and therefore fail to display anything useful.
Note this all works fine over short distances eg around a major city (I tested it) but not seemingly at world wide distances. ie network delays seem to be the issue here? Windows TeamViewer works fine overy the exact same network/wireguard set up. That's how I was able to get the openLuup logs shown below.
Here is any example of openLuup trying to return a chart:

Is there some sort of timeout I change; to see if this can make this work?
Note that openLuup is still running everything flawlessly for ages now, including the more recent addtions of ZigBee stuff. Much appreciated.
Hi @akbooer
Just bringing this over as suggested..
I’ve started to use the console view a lot more, mainly for it’s look and simplicity , but I noticed it does not do any live updates compared to ALTUI, you have to do a full browser reload. Is that by design, or is mine not working?
Also if I want to go strait to the console view, rather than into ALTUI, I recall seeing something abut altering that in the guide by for the life of me I can’t find it. Is it possible to do, if so how would I do that..
You suggested this was something you were looking at ? Also you said You don't need a "full browser reload", just click on the display menu item to refresh the screen. - what do you mean by `display menu?
Very minor issue: was messing about renaming a few rooms and ended up with a room being listed twice. One with the room's contents and the other with no room contents.
It simply turns out one room name had a trailing space. It is possible in both AltUI and the openLuup console to create a room name with a trailing space. Once having done so chaos then ensues, as the rooms are not necessarily treated as different and become difficult to manipulate.
Just need to trim white space off room names. Haven't tested if it's possible to add in leading spaces. That may also be possible.
Hey guys...
Long time... 😉
Since my first day with Vera, I'm using RulesEngine from @vosmont to handle complex rules that will do something based on multiple condition base on "true/false" and also based on time.
Do you think I will be able to do that directly with LUA in openLuup ?
For example..
IF bedroom-motion1 is not detecting motion for 15 minutes
AND
IF bedroom-motion2 is not detecting motion for 15 minutes
AND
IF current-time is between 6am and 11pm
AND
IF binary-light1 is OFF
AND
IF binary-light2 is OFF
THEN
execute LUA code
WAIT 2 minute
execute LUA code
BUT IF any "conditions" failed while in the "THEN" , It need to stop...
I currently have around 60 rules like that 😞
Currently I have a Vera and Hue hub all reliably controlled by openLuup with AltUI, plus any number of plugins. Been working really well for a few years now. However would like to head for a more MQTT based set up. Eliminate the Hue hub and hopefully eliminate Vera by using ZWAVE JS UI. Noting that Zwavejs2mqtt has been renamed to Z-Wave JS UI. Probably also run the stuff using Docker. Just because. Everything would end up on the one computer for easier management. Erhhh that's the hope.
Some of the new Zigbee Aqara stuff is very good and inexpensive plus it fits in with HomeKit. Also the Aqara battery powered stuff looks to have a good battery lifetime: ie suggested up to five years. The battery operated Hue buttons I have; have lasted for ages. Would like to use zigbee2mqtt with a SonOff dongle, which would allow access to the over two and half thousand devices zigbee2mqtt now supports:
Zigbee2MQTT
AK has the MQTT stuff working in openLuup. Have played around with it and it works well, as one would expect. Love the UDP to MQTT code.
Shellys are great and also very inexpensive and they spit out & accept MQTT but I would prefer to stay away from WiFi. Not meshed and higher power consumption. Horses for courses.
Now here's the query:
Got about forty or more ZWave twin light switches, plus a few other ZWave bits & pieces such as blind controllers. Then there are the Hue devices on top of that. That's a lot of virtual devices to set up in openLuup. What's an appropriate way to do this?
It seems there is no "auto magic bridge set up". Do I need to use say @therealdb's Virtual Devices plugin that supports MQTT or is there some other approach?
I have to confess I still don't understand the master child approach in that plugin. Seems one light switch would have all the other light switches hanging off it? Helps Vera but not a problem with openLuup - why is that? Suspect AK's good coding beats Vera's?
GitHub - dbochicchio/vera-VirtualDevices: Virtual HTTP Devices plug-in for Vera and openLuup
GitHub - dbochicchio/vera-VirtualDevices: Virtual HTTP Devices plug-in for Vera and openLuup
Virtual HTTP Devices plug-in for Vera and openLuup - dbochicchio/vera-VirtualDevices
Setting up manually say 100 virtual devices is a bit much to ask. I had a look at hacking the user_data.json file. Good approach till you see all the UIDs and the individually numbered ControlURL and EventURLs that need to be set up.
I need some way of say of creating about 80 light switches in "No room" or in say the "ZWave upgrade" room. Or say some sort of code that could go through all my existing bridged ZWAVE devices in openLuup and create virtual devices for each one. I caould then use the openLuup console to name them and place them in their rooms:
openLuup_IP_address:3480/console?page=devices_table
At that point I could hack the user_data.json file to insert the MQTT topics fairly easily for each? Plus any other fine tuning needed.
Then the old ZWave stuff could be swapped over to ZWAVE JS UI and all the virtual MQTT devices would be ready to go or am I dreaming? Then delete all the old Vera bridged stuff. I'm not too fussed about scene code and the like, as a I have all my code in one block, that is set up in the openLuup start up.
It seems that with ZWay you can create all the ZWave device by doing some sort of interrogation of ZWay's API? Seems also to be the case with the Shelleys?
So any ideas, suggestions or code snippets are welcome on how to move towards MQTT and in particular ZWAVE JS UI and zigbee2mqtt.
I'm in no hurry as openLuup is performing nicely, with the old Vera handling all my ZWave devices.
Hi
Just wondering if it’s possible when writing plugins to set if the text shown via DisplayLine1/2 can be left, right or centre aligned ?
Bit of an odd one this:
Bare metal install on Debian Bullseye (Intel NUC)
I've noticed when travelling, I connect to my L2TP VPN and I cannot get AltUI to update. I just get 'Waiting Initial Data'
Specifically this is in Chrome:
Version 108.0.5359.94 (Official Build) (x86_64)
In Chrome I can access and control everything via the Openluup console.
In Chrome I can also access and control everything via the Z-Wave expert UI and Z-Wave UI
In Safari I get a more complete view of AltUI but loads of errors along the lines of:
the module or function ALTUI_PluginDisplays.drawBinaryLight does not exist, check your configuration
Homewave on my iOS devices is fine across the same VPN config,
I can ssh into all my servers
Not a huge issue, just curious if anyone has any thoughts of what I might tweak to resolve it?
(FWIW I also access my IMAP and SMTP servers across the same VPN with no issues, as well as remote desktop. Also MS Reactor on the same host as Openluup)
TIA for any thoughts

Hi Ak,
Not sure when it started as it took me a while to notice.
I have a function on a luup.call_timer to turn on a switch and then use a luup.call_delay to turn it off a minute later. This is done by the same global function, but on the luup.call_delay i get a message in the log : "luup.call_delay:: unknown global function name: HouseDevice1_PumpCommand"
This is in the init function:
luup.call_timer("HouseDevice1_PumpCommand", 2, "2:15:00", hm_Heating.PumpHealthRunDay, hm_Heating.PumpCMD.HEALTH.."1", true)This is in the function to schedule to off command giving the global function name not found:
luup.call_delay("HouseDevice1_PumpCommand", hm_Heating.PumpHealthOnDuration, hm_Heating.PumpCMD.HEALTH.."0")Is it because I use the "TRUE" parameter that is openLuup specific so the timer does not fire just once?
Running v21.7.25, may be time to update?
Cheers Rene
Hi, I have been trying to install OpenLuup on MacOS but I am failing, so far.
Is there a step-by-step instruction (for MacOS) to follow?
After installing LuaRocks, luasec, luafilesystem and luasocket I then try to run lua5.1 openLuup_install.lua and then get the messages below.
Any ideas and proposals are appreciated.

Migrating Zwave & ZigBee stuff to MQTT - guidance needed.

I intend to! As soon as I get some time. Last dumb q: Upgrading is simply downloading the openLuup_install.lua file and running it in the correct location?
Nothing else need to worry about? I'm currently on
2021.04.26
Would seem a sensible time to get up to 2021.07/25?Cheers!

Just go to this URL and hit the upgrade (blue arrows) upgrade button. If feeling brave, type the word development into the box beforehand and get the latest and greatest:
http://openLuup_IP_address:3480/console?page=plugins_table
I think my thread has been hijacked!

@akbooer said in Migrating Zwave & ZigBee stuff to MQTT - guidance needed.:
The bridge self-installs if openLuup sees one of those devices (over MQTT) and creates a corresponding virtual device.
I can see the complexity of doing this for zigbee2mqtt as there are so many devices, many of which are composites. So for example these motion detectors:
which are tiny and also have high claimed battery life, have all sorts of properties in their payload - however it's fundamentally a motion sensor:
{ "battery": 100, "detection_interval": 30, "device_temperature": 22, "illuminance": 64, "linkquality": 255, "motion_sensitivity": "medium", "occupancy": false, "power_outage_count": 0, "trigger_indicator": false, "voltage": 3215 }Home Assistant has similar problems, where there are so many properties to perhaps make use of and/or handle.
I'm thinking that with zigbee2mqtt and also ZWAVE JS UI you could possibly do OK with just handling a few types of devices. I would suggest just:
- Relays
- Dimmable and colored lights
- Blinds?
Other stuff could probably be handled with code and the Virtual HTTP Devices plug-in.
Out of interest; the zigbee2mqtt "Bridge" churns out stuff like this for each zigbee device:

How do you "Create" a device programmatically? Looks like the MIOS documentation Wiki is being abandoned; otherwise I would scour through that for the answer. Assume you need to post D_zyz.xml and I_xyz.xml file names, etc to somewhere?

Look at this:
vera-OpenSprinkler/L_VeraOpenSprinkler1.lua at master · dbochicchio/vera-OpenSprinkler
Completely new and rewritten plug-in to interface an OpenSprinkler to a Vera or openLuup system. - dbochicchio/vera-OpenSprinkler
You'll need to append them and then sync
vera-OpenSprinkler/L_VeraOpenSprinkler1.lua at master · dbochicchio/vera-OpenSprinkler
Completely new and rewritten plug-in to interface an OpenSprinkler to a Vera or openLuup system. - dbochicchio/vera-OpenSprinkler
Honestly, I've dumped all my luup code from production, so my skills are definitely at the lower end and the wiki has gone.

@a-lurker said in Migrating Zwave & ZigBee stuff to MQTT - guidance needed.:
I'm thinking that with zigbee2mqtt and also ZWAVE JS UI you could possibly do OK with just handling a few types of devices. I would suggest just:
Relays
Dimmable and colored lights
Blinds?Other stuff could probably be handled with code and the Virtual HTTP Devices plug-in.
Yes, that's the sort of thing I had in mind. Both Shelly and Tasmota bridges are similarly constrained.
What topics do zigbee2mqtt and ZWAVE JS UI use?
Shelly currently subsribes to "shellies/#", and Tasmota to "tele/#", and " tasmota/tele/#".
-
I'm still delving into this, so my current knowledge is a little on the short side and the following is a little generalized. However:
It seems that battery operated devices have nothing that can be controlled and their status cannot be read on demand ie no set or get possible (as indicated by an "access" sub property - see below). Presumably because they are asleep most of the time. So a battery powered Aqara motion detector publishes this only when it's triggered by motion:
"zigbee2mqtt/0x01234567890abcde" and supplying a flat json payload containing all the properties - see previous post above.
"zigbee2mqtt" begins all the topics. It can be set to something else but not sure why you would; unless you had multiple instances of zigbee2mqtt running.
0x01234567890abcde is the "ieee_address" of the device and it can be associated with a "friendly_name" of your own choice, such as "bedroom1/left_corner/motion"
So you could have topics such as:
"zigbee2mqttInstance2/bedroom1/left_corner/motion" instead of "zigbee2mqtt/0x01234567890abcde"
The bridge defines all the devices and the devices' topics:
"zigbee2mqtt/bridge/devices" with a payload, which is an array of json objects - one for each device. ieee_address and friendly_name are top level properties of each device in the array. See previous post above.
The "zigbee2mqtt/bridge/devices" topic is published when you first connect to the zigbee2mqtt server. ie you can't do a GET on it - not sure why that is. It's republished if a device joins or leaves. You can force a republish by doing: "zigbee2mqtt/bridge/request/restart" but that's a bit radical, as it does a full server restart.
Each property in the device's status report is also further described by the bridge. So a status property such as temperature has sub properties eg "access", which indicates if the property can be set or get. ie battery operated devices can't be set or get. That is to say each device has an array of property description objects.
So to set up: you would load up the array of devices from "zigbee2mqtt/bridge/devices". Then wizz through them looking for ones of interest under "definition.exposes[array]". Trying to identify what the device type is, appears to be a bit tricky. Looks like you have check the device for the presence of various property combinations or omissions.
Aqara motion detector: has "occupancy". Also has device_temperature & illuminance, which in this case is not much use, as you only get the values when motion triggers the unit.
Hue light bulb: has "light"
Hue light switch: has "action"
Gets tricky with say composite devices. But it would be good to allow some of them eg:
Ikuü Dual outlet: has "switch" with "state_left" & "state_right" but no "brightness"
Tuya five gang light switch: has: "switch" with "state_l1" to "state_l5" (but no "moving_*" properties see below).
Lots of the devices also have temperature sensors and some have energy consumption sensors.
But then you have this that helps confound identification of a device:
Dual curtain/blind controller: It has "moving_left" & "moving_right" but it also has "state_left" & "state_right" like the Ikuü Dual outlet above!
Controlling things - eg a light bulb. There are two ways:
- send a block of json as the payload
- or pure text as the payload, with words such as ON or OFF or TOGGLE
From the following link that talks about these two SET & GET:
In case you don't want to use JSON, publishing to zigbee2mqtt/[FRIENDLY_NAME]/set/state with payload ON is the same as publishing to zigbee2mqtt/[FRIENDLY_NAME]/set payload {"state": "ON"}"
Hope this is of some help.

Zigbee supported devices page shows three column headings:
- Vendor
- Exposes
- Search
The "Exposes" pull down list is very useful as you can filter devices by what properties they expose. Useful for working on how to identify the device type. The filter allows multiple properties to be selected - allowing devices to be narrowed down further.
-
Should be able to run this code to get some idea how the type of the zigbee devices could potentially be identified:

OK it works with them all set to skip although the documentation says blank, skip or http:// is OK
. Might be useful to initialize them to skip. -

There is a new version (v22.11.27) in the testing branch.
If you connect to the openLuup MQTT server, then it should detect the "bridge/devices" message and create some generic devices with some partial info about them in some variables. Just a basic test to show that the fundamentals work.
When the message is first detected, openLuup will create a Zigbee2MQTT bridge, a room called Zigbee and the child devices in that room. Here's what I get with the sample code you provided above (excellent starting info, by the way!) ...

All works as advertised!! Excellent work. I still don't see the last image of the variables - still see the table pointers; as per your early image. Probably the latest code hadn't been committed to GitHub, judging by your commit times & post times.
I installed the openLuup testing branch and restarted. All worked as normal. Then I restarted the zigbee2mqtt server forcing it to output the "bridge/devices" message and everything got going in openLuup - great.
This is going to provide a lot possibilities. Currently 2507 possibilities! Downside is I may have to go and buy a few more devices.
Here's the start up log with a few edits and minus the date time. Might be useful to have say "none" or "****" for UserName & Password in the log. The "My Lua ver 0.50 debug:" is some of my test code:
