Feedback / issues with openLuup's built-in MQTT server
-
I'm working on a very slow migration from DataYours to Historian and am wondering if there is a list of cache devices that can be modified to include some that are missing, specifically several voltage variable monitors in service EnergyMetering1.
Just checked again and a couple showed up. It could be that these populate slowly after a Vera reboot?
I would also like to modify the storage-aggergation, it is possible to edit that .conf file directly and reboot openLuup?

Hi AK,
I have my BlueIris NVR sending MQTT messages to openLuup for various triggers that occur in the NVR. Rather than configure start-up lua to subscribe to each and every BlueIris topic (there are many system topics as well as topics for each camera), I'd like instead to build an MQTT device specific to BlueIris, similar to the generic tasmota device type, to capture and display in variables, each topic and message sent from Blue Iris.
This way, I could then use Reactor to watch and act on message changes.
I've looked at the tasmota bridge code and believe I could re-purpose some of it to build such a device, but before I get into such an effort, is this something that can be done in an easier way? In general terms, I'm thinking of a an MQTT flag in the luup device creation that would specify an MQTT device and then the device would look for messages based on message filters established on a device configure page. Or perhaps a template of some sort that would act as a starting point for creating MQTT devices specific to an endpoint device.

I'm a fan of the SendConfig call action in a couple of scene...
Did you implement something like GetConfig ?
I have a couple of scene that I would need to do a GetConfig to do something based on the value...

I'm currently migrating everything from debian to the same VM using Ubuntu, 'cause z-way handle Ubuntu better than debian!
So here some question about openLuup 😉
1- Having some error on the console about GetNetworkState.sh (can't find file)
2- Is there a reason why openLuup can't handle lua5.3 instead of 5.1 ? -
A long while ago (May, 2015) I wrote my 2000-th post on another forum: openLuup - running unmodified plugins on any machine. 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 modificationWhat 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.

Hi
I’ve been finding myself using the command line more with other applications and I’ve been enjoying the experience, learning basic shell/bash scripting etc.
What command line options are available with openluup?

@akbooer, have you thought about using rapidjson instead of cjson?
xpol/lua-rapidjson xpol/lua-rapidjsonA JSON module for Lua based on the very fast RapidJSON library. - xpol/lua-rapidjson
I am testing it on ALTUI and doesn't appear to be as strict as cjson while being even faster.

Hello,
Having issues updating to latest version. Is there documentation on it anywhere? -
I thought I would test and migrate my OpenLuup installation from my current old i3 Ubuntu server to a new Raspberry Pi 4.
I have set up the new Pi with a fresh install of openLuup and it works as it should.
As I have understood it I should install all the plugins I have on my old installation and then restore a backup file from my old installation onto the new server. Is this correct or should I do some more steps before migrating? When I see that everything is working the plan is to swap the IP, but initially the new server will have another IP.
When I tried to test the resore procedure on the new server from a backup file of the new server I got an error and the restore script hangs.
After reboot OpenLuup is back.What I did was type:
./openLuup_reload backup/backup.openLuup-88800000-2021-04-12.lzap
in the Terminal from inside cmh-ludl ( I found this procedure in an old thread).When doing this I get the following error message:
rm: can not remove '/www/altui/altui*': The file of catalogue does not exist (free-hand translated from Swedish)@akbooer am I missing something here?

The last three mornings OpenLuup for some reason has been unavailable. In other words it has not been responding when trying to connect via AltUI or Console.
I have been trying to investigate a bit around what this could be but not got it pinned down.
I run OpenLuup with one Zway bridge and two Vera bridges. The Zway and Veras have all been available every time, so that should not be the problem.
When the problems started I had updated OpenLuup with Mqtt and added a few Mqtt devices. At the same time I also updated AltUI to the latest version. At the same time I also removed some devices from Room 101.
The Mqtt devices are normally reporting data as they should.In Lua startup I have added the following entries related to Mqtt:
luup.attr_set ("openLuup.MQTT.Port", 1883) luup.attr_set ("openLuup.MQTT.Username", "luup") luup.attr_set ("openLuup.MQTT.Password", "openluup") luup.attr_set ("openLuup.MQTT.PublishDeviceStatus", "0") -- ================================== Mqtt functions below: local json = require "openLuup.json" function MyMQTThandler (topic, message) local info = json.decode (message) local t = info.AM2301.Temperature local h = info.AM2301.Humidity luup.variable_set ("urn:upnp-org:serviceId:TemperatureSensor1", "CurrentTemperature", t, 216) luup.variable_set ("urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:HumiditySensor1", "CurrentLevel", h, 228) end luup.register_handler ("MyMQTThandler", "mqtt:tele/tasmota_test/SENSOR") function TasmotaCO2Axel (topic, message) local info = json.decode (message) local t = info.BME280.Temperature local h = info.BME280.Humidity local p = info.BME280.Pressure local c = info.MHZ19B.CarbonDioxide luup.variable_set ("urn:upnp-org:serviceId:TemperatureSensor1", "CurrentTemperature", t, 229) -- set temp to device luup.variable_set ("urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:HumiditySensor1", "CurrentLevel", h, 230) -- set humidity to device luup.variable_set ("urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:GenericSensor1", "CurrentLevel", p, 232) -- set air pressure to device luup.variable_set ("urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:GenericSensor1", "CurrentLevel", c, 231) -- set CO2 to device end luup.register_handler ("TasmotaCO2Axel", "mqtt:tele/TasmotaCO2Ax/SENSOR") function TasmotaCO2Anton (topic, message) local info = json.decode (message) local t = info.BME280.Temperature local h = info.BME280.Humidity local p = info.BME280.Pressure local c = info.MHZ19B.CarbonDioxide luup.variable_set ("urn:upnp-org:serviceId:TemperatureSensor1", "CurrentTemperature", t, 233) -- set temp to device luup.variable_set ("urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:HumiditySensor1", "CurrentLevel", h, 234) -- set humidity to device luup.variable_set ("urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:GenericSensor1", "CurrentLevel", p, 235) -- set air pressure to device luup.variable_set ("urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:GenericSensor1", "CurrentLevel", c, 236) -- set CO2 to device end luup.register_handler ("TasmotaCO2Anton", "mqtt:tele/TasmotaCO2An/SENSOR") -- =======================================================================This morning it seems as if OpenLuup stopped working at 06:24, I kept MqttExporer up and running over night and it the data reporting had stopped at that time. (The image shows the last reported data and then it shows that it commences again after I restarted OpenLuup at 07:19.

@akbooer I assume that it could be more of interest in the logs, I can of course email them if needed. Also let me know if any more information is missing.

Creating my own topic for newbie questions about openLuup and AltUi 🙂
Trying to create a scene with a timer to turn on device 1 at given time IF device 2 is Off.
Wrote Lua to return false if device 2 is On.
Log states "scene prevented from running by local scene Lua" but action is performed anyway, device 1 is turned On.
Suggestions? -
I found some really minor gui issues in AltUI and in the Console.
Once more it is not that much of a problem for me as I use them only for admin purposes. I thought I'd post them anyway so that they are known for future releases, depending on priorities of course. 🙂
The first is related to the rounding of humidity devices in AltUI. It seems as if these numbers are always rounded down:
AltUI:
cae85b7d-8f20-440a-9ca2-8d568b63f00c-bild.pngConsole:
8100685e-9389-4f5f-b1e7-96a25fbabe84-bild.pngThe second issue is that the value for generic sensors seems not to be visible in the Console:
AltUI:
7909f921-2a09-4687-9550-331640e32244-bild.png -
I got tired on waiting for a stable release of Vera FW so finally took the leap to installing openLuup.
Unfortunately I haven't even got a simple scene to work.
Trigger - If device 1 is turned on
Action - Delay 2 seconds and turn device 2 on.I see the call to turn device 1 on in log but nothing else related after that.
What am I doing wrong? -
I noticed this morning something that have seen in the past but forgotten about.
When I restart the OpenLuup server (in my case an Ubuntu PC) the Vera and Z-way bridges do not get in contact with the corresponding servers, i.e. are shown in red in AltUI. The solution for me is to make a "Relaod Luup engine" and then they are ok. I do not know if it is a general issue or only for my setup.
To be honest it is not much of a problem since OpenLuup is so stable. If and when you restart the server the hazzle of reloading is not that big. In fact I had forgotten about it since it was so long ago I had to restart anything...
The one use case I can think of is that the server gets restarted due to a power outage or something and if you are not at home the system does not fully recover without manual interaction. I my case I have the server on an UPS, but still a thought.
Is this a known issue and is it something that can be addressed somehow? As I said low priority, at least for me. 🙂

I installed a new dimmer a few days ago, a Sunrichter "knob smart dimmer" (SR-ZV2835RACS).
It included without problems into Z-way and shows up in AluUI and in the Console as usual.
However the dimmer value in AltUI/Console does not change when you adjust it manually on the dimmer. I have checked the variables and it seems as if AltUI displays LoadLevelTarget and when checking on the dimmer variables the LoadLevelTarget value is not updated in OpenLuup when the dim level is changed on the dimmer. In other words LoadLevelStatus and LoadLevelTarget differs and LoadLevelStatus shows the correct dim level set manually on the dimmer.
If you change the dim level in OpenLuup then both values are updated.
On/off state is however always updated.In Z-way the dim level is updated as it should, so it works there as it should from what I can see.
Running OpenLuup 20.12.19 and AltUI 2.53b.2552.
@akbooer any idea if this is something that can be fixed?

so, @rigpapa did it: https://github.com/toggledbits/Vera-Decouple
It's completely decoupling Vera from the cloud. Very cool stuff. /cc @rafale77 @akbooer

This is a set of openLuup icons to replace the ones which you normally would transfer over from the vera. The only thing for the dimmable lights is that one needs to use a new json file to replace the original light bulb with an vector graphics type which I am also sharing.

What's the effort/work to have a custom device "view" ?
Remember when I talked about a dimmer with low/med/high/off instead of the slider from 0 to 100 ...
What I would need to do to have that ?
Right now, I have a fan in the living room that use the fireplace heat to send it on the 2nd floor!
For the moment, I put it manually at 30%, 60% and 100% to handle the low/med/high, but will be more useful on the interface to have only 3 buttons...
Imperihome - question
-
Hi @mrFarmer,
I also have a question about ImperiHome:
I'm trying to configure imperihome with openluup.
Imperihome recognizes the new system, with all devices, status feedback is perfect.
If I turn on something on imperihome, it will seem to be temporarily turned on and then turn off. Device does not actually change.
Can you help me with what could be the problem?
Thanks.
Krisztian -
Same issue as me, I've posted some info in this thread: https://smarthome.community/topic/254/imperihome-missing-devices/14
-
I'm sorry @PerH!
I didn't see the same mistake.
I don't have a z-way yet, I thought it was your fault for it ....
Also I have the categories, sub categories ...Do I see that you don't have a solution to the problem yet?
-
I should probably have posted i a different thread, as the z-way issue is different..
No solution yet.
The problem is for all my bridged devices, the local ones work fine..Another issue is probably that not many people use imperihome anymore.. I've downloaded the SDK for the last version, and will continue to use it until there's a better solution.
-
Yes, local tools are good for me too ...
It would be good if the error could be fixed.The biggest trouble is that I don’t see an alternative to replacing the imperihome.
