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.
Thx

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On the activities tab, it tells me I should update to a newer version of the device information database.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
http://www.intvelt.com/files/HomeWavePush.zip -
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 repositoriesGuidance 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.

Hello @therealdb with your OpenSprinkler plugin occasionally when I set a zone for an amount of time lets say 10 minutes, something happens and the counter for 10 minutes counts down 5 seconds to 9:55 then it resets back to 10 minutes. This continues to repeat so the zone will stay on for an infinite amount of time. In my experience this usually happens once the plugin has been running for about a day (ie no recent Luup reloads). I grabbed some logs but it doesn't seem to show anything weird happening. This issue does not happen when I set a zone timer through the OpenSprinkler app. Oddly enough when I stop the zone through the OpenSprinkler app when the timer keeps resetting, the same zone gets queued right away. It seems that the plugin is sending the start zone command every 5 ish seconds.

UPDATE: With @toggledbits update for "R4V" below, your new notification sounds will work just by typing your custom soundfile name into the Sound: field of the Notify Action. Editing the J_ReactorSensor_UI7.js is not an undertaking for the simple user 😲
Please ignore the entire "Tip" below, it ended up hosing my Reactor interface and I had to re-install the Reactor "stable" version to get back up and running. I'll leave it posted for a bit in case someone knows WHY it got hosed.
Sorry,
ChrisGuessing this is the most appropriate area in which to post this . . .
In case nobody has written this yet, I've been using Pushover for a while. First with VeraAlerts on Vera3/UI5, now with Reactor on openLuup/RPi3.
Until recently, Pushover has constrained us by only allowing select notification sounds. Now pushover.net will allow you to upload custom sounds to their internal library.
You may then add these sounds to Patrick's J_ReactorSensor_UI7.js file
values: [ "=(device default)", "none=(none/silent)", "vibrate=(vibrate only)", "pushover=Pushover", "bike=Bike", "Bubbles=Bubbles (VA)", "bugle=Bugle", "cashregister=Cash Register", "classical=Classical", "Cloud=Cloud (VA)", "cosmic=Cosmic", "falling=Falling", "gamelan=Gamelan", "incoming=Incoming", "intermission=Intermission", "iPhone_Ding=iPhone Ding (VA)", "magic=Magic", "mechanical=Mechanical", "pianobar=Piano Bar", "siren=Siren", "spacealarm=Space Alarm", "tugboat=Tug Boat", "alien=Alien Alarm (long)", "climb=Climb (long)", "persistent=Persistent (long)", "echo=Pushover Echo (long)", "updown=Up Down (long)"Not sure how the above code will format here, but I searched for "Pushover" in the .js file, found the section above, and sprinkled my 3 custom sounds alphabetically into the existing group (following existing formatting)
After that, a browser refresh was all that was needed.
That's All Folks,
Don't Call Me Chrissy -
Hello all, I have a thermostat in a hallway that controls the whole upstairs floor and my room seems to get way warmer than the hallway its located in. I am not able to move the thermostat, neither are there any external temperature probes available that connect directly to the thermostat.
I had an extra Z wave temp sensor lying around so thought I'd place that in my room and use that somehow in place of the internal temp sensor in the hallway.
I can't seem to think of a good way to go about this, my original plan was to use either the AVT plugin or the Virtual Devices plugin but to my knowledge they won't work they way I intend them to. So I resorted to using Reactor, but that may become very tricky since I will need to put in a lot of fail safes to make sure the heating/cooling turns on/off when expected.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to go about this? Every time I come up with a possible solution, I always find a way that it could fail and either not turn the a/c off/on.

Hey @toggledbits I recently picked up a Rachio controller for a family member and installed the plugin you have created. I have two issues and was wondering if you have any insight:
I have 2 controllers linked to one account and both controllers+zones are showing up, is there anyway to disable 1 controller from showing up? Is the best solution just to hide the extra zones etc?
Since each zone uses a custom device type, you cannot control them in the mobile app at all. Is it possible to change the device type to a dimmer or valve (something like the OpenSprinkler plugin) so that I can use the plugin in the mobile app and other 3rd party apps?
-
Hello @therealdb , I had to rebuild my sprinkler set up and noticed that none of the child devices that the plugin created automatically showed up in the same room as the parent device. The variable ChildrenSameRoom is set to 1 but all my zones are in "No Room". Is there any quick way I can get them all in the same room as the parent device? I have around 18 child devices so manually setting each room will take quite long!

Posted this in Vera forum with no response:
Seeing this in reactor UI:
A newer version of the device information database is available. Please use the update function on the Tools tab to get it. This process is quick and does not require a Luup reload or browser refresh–you can immediately come back here and go right back to work! The new version is 865.877, and you are currently using 557.352…Hit update in Tools and get an error: “The update could not be retrieved. If this problem persists, consult the documentation.”
Looked through logs and not seeing anything specific. You have a keyword I should search for?

@toggledbits On my veraplus I try to use the plugin switchboard. On my veraplus I use a virtual window covering which can also be used in google home with tts. Now I also use openluup. The virtual window covering is not visible in openluup. Is this correct? I also use reactor in openluup. If this virtual window covering is not visible in openluup, I cannot use it in reactor either

Is there any chance of @amg0 becoming an active member, do you think?
He appears to be not responding on GitHub (I opened my licensing query a month back)
There are also some challenges around how things like thermostats behave in their display which would be great if we could get them fixed. Well beyond my capability 😞C

While i wait for MSR to arrive, i'm trying to get better control over my zigbee devices. Looked over the fence to Domoticz, and they have a really good plugin for Zigate, and as there was a domoticz bridge here, i thought i'd use that instead..
This plugin have bben abandoned for some years though, and when I installed it, it won't start properly.. looking at the startup log, it looks like OpenLuup might have had some changes that needs to be handled in the plugin? (@akbooer ?)

Morning, all
Couple of AltUI issues.
On this machine AltUI correctly reports its licensed status. On another machine, it claims to be unlicensed, and not of my favourites etc are reflected. Is this correct behaviour? Surely it doesn't need a licence per browser? Neither machine will upgrade to the latest version, if I select it from the pop up. Should I be doing it another way?TIA

Is there any chance of @amg0 becoming an active member, do you think?
He appears to be not responding on GitHub (I opened my licensing query a month back)
There are also some challenges around how things like thermostats behave in their display which would be great if we could get them fixed. Well beyond my capability

He has reached out to me a couple of months ago about his credential here. He seems to have tuned down his activity to a minimum and I have just submitted a pull request for ALTUI on github. Generally speaking he seems to be willing to take in PRs but is not going to invest himself in larger projects. He was not very active in the old place either.
If there are things you need to get done, I can give it a shot but I am very much a newb in javascript.

@rafale77 thanks chap. Seems a little unfair (to you!)
I guess there are two issues (so far)
Thermostats don't work properly under Altui. Or at least mine doesn't There's no way of adjusting the set point in the web interface. Works fine in Homewave but....
The other is the licencing issue previously mentioned. A minor peeve.
But this raises some concern that if the UI is not maintained, in a couple of years, how functional will it be?

I would not call it "unmaintained", @amg0 has just recently taken my localcdn updates and has upgraded bootstrap. I can't help with the licensing unfortunately. Maybe @akbooer can. About the setpoint problem with the thermostat, can you provide more details? I don't think this would be an ALTUI issue and more of a vera device file issue since that's what is controlling it. I have personally wrote a plugin to control my thermostat which integrates door/motion sensors/vents (The US mostly use forced air HVAC) and calculates a virtual home temperature. (Kind of like ecobee but much better as it shuts off vents for rooms with open windows, ignores and shuts off unoccupied rooms etc...)... and my thermostat works. What model and what errors/issues are you seeing?
-
Maybe 'unmaintained' is unfair, not my intention. But if support has stopped (no response to a follow up on my licensing query) and the other issue raiser in 2018 was directed to Vera forum, not sure what's going to happen.
Ref the Thermostat, I guess it may be the device file since it doesn't 'work' in the console either. This is all I get in AltUI
So there's no way to adjust the set point.

-
Can you show me the device attributes? And action screen? What are you expecting to be able to do? Only change setpoints (heat/cool?) do you need to change also mode?
-
Here you are
I guess all I expect to change (and display) is the current set point. Heat on and off would be cool as well.
As far as I am aware there is only one (functional) setpoint. Although I suspect it has rather more than that. And only one mode (heat) although again I suspect it has more of them as well. Which is probably a failure in the file attributed to the device?
I can see it has in its variables two CurrentSetpoints. One is probably my fault trying to control it. But it also has Energymodes and Fanspeed.
It's really a very simple on / off stat
Tangentially this feels like the kind of issue that we should be able to provide a quick and easy solution to the average user. You know I'm going to be happy to ask and fire commands, but for basic users, it's a simple device and it's effectively un-usable.
I use it with Homewave (not exactly simple) and Alexa / HA Bridge (not quite user hostile, but verging on it)
So I don't need this functionality, it just feels like quite a big miss.C

ouch... this is through the z-way bridge. Need @akbooer here. It looks like this device was not recognized by the z-way bridge as a thermostat. I am curious as to what command class it is showing on z-way. Can you please take a look at the expertUI on z-way and show what command classes it is presenting on the interview screen?
-
-
I just looked at the z-way bridge code... and it shows that the bridge should create a thermostat device instead of a combo device.
You may have installed this on an older version of the z-way bridge.
Solution:
Update the z-way-bridge if it isn't already the latest version, delete the child device and reload luup.
See what device file you get. -
So this is the Z-way plugin on AltUI?
Showing 20.7.14
C
The Ex-Vera abuser know as CatmanV2.....
-
-
OK. If I delete the child device, am I going to lose all my automations and actions around it?
Sorry to be a PITA....
C
-
Not on openLuup. That was a vera "feature" luckily openLuup didn't reproduce. Upon luup reload, the device will be recreated and no automation should be broken. Make sure you only delete the thermostat device.
The device created should show you the thermostat temperature and at least one setpoint.
-
OK
So used the App store to select Github.development
Plugins now shows 21.1.19
Deleted the device that I thought was the Thermostat (i.e. the one I showed you earlier)
Reloaded Luup and I have a device that was recreated in my Z-Way-nnnnnn room
But...Nothing appears to have changed:
I assume I've done something dumb
C
-
Nope... there is something missing: the bridge has linked the variables but did not use the right device files.
Go into attributes and change the device json from ComboDevice1.json to D_HeaterStelpro.json and the device file to D_Heater1.xmlI think that you have a heater rather than a thermostat...
-
Heheh. Not sure why it would be considered a heater but....
Not much of an improvement... (I reloaded Luup)
C
-
hmm - hmmm you have the device files reversed the json file needs to be in the json field... also make sure that these files do exist in your openluup installation. They should come from the vera.
I read the manual for your thermostat and it is indeed a heat only thermostat which for vera is a heater control device... The difference is that it only has one setpoint instead of 2 and terminologies are all around heating.
-
See it was only a matter of time before I did something stupid
Thanks for all this. Sure when I originally mentioned this it was a feature of AltUI.
Looks much better now. thanks!

As a supplementary question, now I have a Heat / Off switch.
Can I make this actually switch my boiler control on? This would neatly solve an issue I've been considering with TRVs.
Currently altering it from 'Off' to 'Heat' does nothing and does not appear to alter the value of the ModeTarget variable which is reflected in the logs.
I also need to chase something down I suspect in HA Bridge as I've managed to re-create another CurrentSetpoint
