Home Automation means you have to have a way of describing the logical steps you want your home to implement automatically.
Whilst I've always been a fan of the Lua language, as used in Vera (and openLuup) for scenes and plugins, it's perhaps not ideal. For this reason, there has been a long development history of plugins with their own "language" to help define the automation logic: PLEG (for those with a long memory), AltUI workflows, Rules Engine, Reactor, MSR, ...
It's always seemed to me that the 'best' way of describing logic would be a language designed for that purpose – a "logic programming language". Perhaps one of the most famous, and venerable, is Prolog, which had its fiftieth birthday last year in 2022.
Thanks to some relatively recent research A Hitchhiker’s Guide to Reinventing a Prolog Machine, Paul Tarau (2017) it's become possible to implement a very efficient Prolog engine in a reasonably concise way. So, just for fun, I'm developing a CGI plugin for describing openLuup actions in Prolog.
I have an early prototype running (written in Lua, of course). It presents a web page which looks like a fairly typical Interactive Development Environment (IDE) and contains some primitives which allow basic access to the Luup engine.

In a subsequent post, I'll give a glimpse of its capabilities...

I have the following issue: In my Vera, I have created a dimmer using the Switchboard plugin. I want this light always turn on at 100% brightness when turn the light on. By default, the dimmer remembers its last used setting. I have created the following scene: when the light is turned off, the LoadLevelLast should be 100.

Manually, this works through the test Luup code (Lua), but not through the scene's action by execute the following Luup code.
I also tried in MSR, but no result
Does anyone know the solution to this?

Just seen notification to Netatmo developers that the current password-based login is being disabled as from October.
Oath2 is now a requirement for apps needing access to Netatmo. This will require some changes to my venerable plug-in. I’m not sure how easy this will be with the current libraries in use.
Does anyone out there use the Netatmo plug-in?
Does anyone have any advice on using Oath2?

Hardly a big deal, and likely user error. Bare metal install on Debian Bullseye
Observed behaviour:
TTS announcements are made with the correct volume. So a message to group 'Everywhere' with Volume 40 is announced. Asking an individual echo device to state its volume after the announcement gets the response 'This device is at volume 4'
So far so good.Using the:
x_vera_svc_bochicchio_com_VeraAlexa1.SetVolumeIn an MSR reaction appears to have no impact when either applied to the group 'Everywhere' or a specific device.
So executing this reaction:

I assume I'm doing something wrong or not understanding how this is meant to work?
One other observation is that messages announce to the 'Everywhere' group appear to make the volume 'stick' where as messages to an individual device appear to revert to the previous volume setting.
My expectation would be analagous to a radio i.e. the volume stays as it was last set, but happy to be corrected.TIA!

Anyone else seeing issues with Vera TTS? All was working fine. I assumed the cookie had expired, but even having replaced it, and seeing that the .alexa.login file is aging (as I'd expect) No speech.
I seem to be getting an odd timeout but no idea from where.

I use the excellent SiteSensor plugin of @toggledbits for some years to get the data from my PWS on Wunderground.
This has worked flawlessly but recently it suddenly stopped working.
I see this in my Vera:6899a8b1-ad67-430a-9dc8-f1da42b04b62-image.png
When I copy/paste the URL code to be queried in my browser this still works.
This is the URL:
https://api.weather.com/v2/pws/observations/current?stationId=ILIMBURG130&format=json&units=m&numericPrecision=decimal&apiKey=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxPatrick (or someone else on this forum) can you help me solve this ?
Many thanks in advance! -
Virtual HTTP Devices plug-in:
I wanted to try this out. Installed the plugin and created one device, which came up as a light bulb. So far so good. In AltUI I clicked on the On/Off slider on the page. The log shows that the Target is set to one. Likewise for the Variable list in AltUI. However the Status never gets set to one and the light bulb icon doesn't go yellow.
In some plugins you set the Target and then the plugin checks the physical device actually went on by checking an actual status report from the device, which can be used to set the variable Status.
In other cases a plugin will send a message to the physical device but that device will have no status feedback mechanism available. So the Status variable has to be set locally when the Target is set and everybody hopes the physical device all worked.
Not to sure what Virtual HTTP Devices plug-in does in this regard? Does the above go in anyway to explaining what I'm seeing? Is the plugin looking for status feedback?

I have a couple of issue with Openluup ATM. I'm going to work through them in the order that they appeared if that's OK 🙂

I've been trying to figure out Reactor but I'm not very good at programming.
I have two scenes in VERA.
One scene should only run during the DAY and then stop running.
One scene should only run during the NIGHT and then stop running.My scenes start off at the right times, but they do not turn off. I created a Sunrise/Sunset Reactor trigger and added it as a condition to each of my scenes.
However, the Reactor trigger when tripping or untripping does not prevent my Vera scenes from running. It will start them correctly the first day, but after that, both scene stay running and fight with each other. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for any help!
If you are interested, here are the actions I wish to perform with each scene.
FARM STAND - DAY (runs at Sunrise)
Turn ON a device called LETTUCE LAMP
2a) Every 60 min, turn ON a device called LETTUCE PUMP
2b) Wait 15 min then turn OFF a device called LETTUCE PUMPFARM STAND - NIGHT (runs at Sunset)
Turn OFF a device called LETTUCE LAMP
2a) Every 135 min, turn ON a device called LETTUCE PUMP
2b) Wait 15 min then turn OFF a device called LETTUCE PUMPThis sounds simple, but I cannot figure out how to disable these scenes when the theyre not supposed to run.
-
I am no longer using any VERA scenes. I am only using a REACTOR trigger and activities.
Will my activities do what I need them to do? See below:
Here's what I am trying to accomplish:
AT SUNRISE
Turn ON a light called LETTUCE LAMP and keep it ON.
2a) Turn on a device called LETTUCE PUMP for 15 min each hour.
2b) Repeat the pump cycle all day long.AT SUNSET
Turn OFF a light called LETTUCE LAMP and keep it OFF.
2a) Turn on a device called LETTUCE PUMP for 15 min then wait 2 hours..
2b) Repeat the pump cycle all night long. -
Hey @toggledbits updated to Reactor 3.9develop-21009.1600 on my VP running 7.32 and I keep getting this pop up and can't change anything in my reactor sensors because of it. I am running Alt UI 2.52 and there are no updates for it. Screen Shot 2021-03-31 at 8.33.47 PM.png
-
FYI.
Recently a new ALTUI version got pushed out, release 2553. After the update Reactor is no longer showing any of the Control panels in a sensor. looking at the ALTUI changes they seem minimal so in J_ReactorSensor_UI7.js I upped the _MAX_ALTUI_VERSION to 2553 and all seems to be working again.

Good evening, all.
Is there a simple readme to set up and use a Broadlink device with OpenLuup?
The readme on github points to a thread on the old forum, and thence to a rabbit hole.Is it just a case of adding IP address of the device? Or does it need the MAC?
Then how do I fire commands? It looks like I need to find the codes and send via Lua?
TIA

Hi Patrick,
A quick question about your virtual sensor plugin. I saw that the child sensors rely on polling for sensor data updates. Was there a reason not to use a watch on the underlying (source) state variable as opposed to polling. I'm asking in the sense that I need a fairly rapid response to a rise in humidity, but am unsure how to set sensor polling without adding additional io drag to openLuup.
I currently use the state humidity variable directly in a reactor sensor (the data is captured via a bluetooth device with multiple humidity variables), however, these state humidity variables have a generated name making it difficult to determine what is what in group of approximately 10 state humidity variables. So a virtual sensor solves the naming problem, while creating some trigger delay due to polling.

I have Reactor running under openLuup (which is running inside vwout's Docker container).
On the activities tab, it tells me I should update to a newer version of the device information database. When I go to the Tools tab, for a fraction of a second I can see the green "Update Device Info" button along with the Troubleshooting & Support and Device Spy sections. But after that fraction of a second, they disappear and I only see the Test Tools and Update Device Information Database sections, to just above where the Green button used to be.I've tried this on both Edge and Firefox with the same behavior (with extensions both on and off).
Any suggestions?

Not sure why, but after many years, I'm still unsure how plugins with children are meant to be coded, although I've got away with doing a few with no problems!
I could try out a few test cases but messing around with luup.chdev.append() is tricky. If the appended info changes, a luup.engine restart occurs. Any stuff ups and this can go into a continuous loop. Plus I don't want random new devices scattered all over my installation.
So imagine a plugin that controls say ten binary lights, ten dimmers and ten blinds/shutters:
the plugin should have in the device file D_xyx.xml the tag:<handleChildren>1</handleChildren>
OK it makes sense for the parent to have the routines to control the child devices.
Question: when wouldn't the plugin parent not have the code to control its children? ie
<handleChildren>0</handleChildren>
Seems redundant or I have misunderstood something?
The service files for both dimmers and blinds have the function: <action> <name>SetLoadLevelTarget</name> <argumentList> <argument> <name>newLoadlevelTarget</name> <direction>in</direction> <relatedStateVariable>LoadLevelTarget</relatedStateVariable> </argument> </argumentList> </action>And to call the action in each case, we have say 'dimmingLevel' vs 'blindPosition':
luup.call_action('urn:upnp-org:serviceId:Dimming1', "SetLoadLevelTarget", {newLoadlevelTarget = dimmingLevel}, deviceId) luup.call_action('urn:upnp-org:serviceId:Dimming1', "SetLoadLevelTarget", {newLoadlevelTarget = blindPosition}, deviceId)Question: how do you direct the same calls to different functions in the plugin - one to dim the light and the other to postion the blind? It would seem that you would have to look at the target child device and see what type it is, then act accordingly? An example would be good!
In this plugin, devices can come and go - not often - but still needs to be attended to in the code. So the luup.chdev.append() call is executed at every start up. Each child has a descriptive name. When the child is first created this name can be set up by the software to say "Light 1" to "light 10". The user can then subsequently change this descriptive name.Question: How do I know that this descriptive name has been changed by the user and needs to be preserved and how do I check what this descriptive name is ready for when the luup.chdev.append() call is executed? As the function needs this descriptive name.
And I wonder how openluup (without looking at the code) emulates the C blob:
local childDevices = luup.chdev.start(THIS_LUL_DEVICE)

All,
Due to changes in the push notification system by Apple, the plugin to send push notifications to HomeWave will have to be updated. Please use the link below. This plugin works on both Vera and OpenLuup platforms.
Push messages will continue to work with the old and the new plugin. Once the server and the HomeWave app are updated, the old plugin will stop working

It's worth noting this recent (?) GitHub change:
GitHub - github/renaming: Guidance for changing the default branch name for GitHub repositories
GitHub - github/renaming: Guidance for changing the default branch name for GitHub repositories
Guidance for changing the default branch name for GitHub repositories - GitHub - github/renaming: Guidance for changing the default branch name for GitHub repositories
This will have an impact on the AltAppStore which has previously assumed the default repository name of master. So when specifying releases, you should ensure that any new plugins explicitly reference the main branch if that's the one you're expecting to use.
New plug-in: Vera-HABridge to sync HA-Bridge status from Vera to Alexa
-
So, I was bored to see all those "device not responding" banners in the Alexa app and I created a new plug-in:
GitHub - dbochicchio/Vera-HABridge: Luup plugin to syncronize Vera/openLuup status to HA-Bridge and Alexa.
Luup plugin to syncronize Vera/openLuup status to HA-Bridge and Alexa. - GitHub - dbochicchio/Vera-HABridge: Luup plugin to syncronize Vera/openLuup status to HA-Bridge and Alexa.
This will update your devices' status to HA-Bridge and Alexa will finally reflect the correct status!
Just install, insert the HA-Bridge IP and port and you're done. It will work with lights and scenes (scene just to update the status and remove the "device not responding" banner). Colors are not supported, because
It will work with Vera bridged on openLuup, but HA-Bridge accessing the Vera's device directly (there's a special variable, look at the logs).
Very beta, feedback appreciated as always
I hope they'll add a way to query the status via voice soon
-
Installing this and will be testing. Thanks. Gave me the opportunity to update my habridge as I was running an ancient version.
Funny I lately have been struggling with problem with a real hue2 bridge but not with the habridge.Edit: works awesome!

Cool!

I have a version with colors, but because Christmas I'm still finishing it. I'll publish it next week, with a couple of fixes. It seems to run OK on my system in the latest two weeks.
