openweather plugin ?

[ronluna]

thanks @akbooer . I'll be adding the installation instructions to the readme file... By the way, this plugin also works for ecobee thermostat, the native ecobee lua plugin by @rafale77 works ok when there is only one thermostat in the ecobee account but when more than one, ecobee server keeps deauthorizing the plugin...

@rafale77 I also use homebridge the other way (openluup to homebridge) and is great.

I'm currently using it for:

• Nest thermostats with google accounts.
• Ecobee accounts with multiple thermostats
• AUX Mini split with built-in wifi modules

Planning on adding control for AppleTV , Ring devices, Doorbird motion detection and many more...

It will allow us to finally include many of the popular cloud based devices that own into the openluup environment...

Something really cool about homebridge is that the manual and basic automation can be done from within homekit by the end-user, but deeper logic can be done from within openluup. Thinking about bringing node-red into the mix also... anyhow... I hope it can be useful for everyone here...

Hi ronluna

Great to see more stuff supporting openLuup and the like. If you feel like adding the plugin to the Alt App Store; I can add it to the list of available plugins:

https://smarthome.community/topic/247/list-of-plugins-available-at-the-alternative-app-store?_=1615766458771

[rafale77]

A bit farfetched at the moment but I just had a brainfart that I could bridge my Home Assistant components to homekit and then fetch them back into openLuup using this plugin... pretty awesome.

My thermostats show values in Fahrenheit, is there a way to change to Celsius?
I found this in the log but doesn't seem to have any effect.

homebridge2openluup debug: Engine Global Temperature Unit = C

[ronluna]

@crille I'll add support to the upcoming update.

[ronluna]

Just added some fixes for Celsius @crille Please test the latest update from the github repo.

[Crille]

@ronluna Yes, it's displayed in Celsius now, thank you.

[Crille]

@ronluna I cannot change setpoint though.

Homebridge:[string "L_Homebridge2openluup1.lua"]:83: attempt to compare number with string

[ronluna]

@crille pushed new fix for celsius. the plugin is now available on the altappstore.

[ronluna]

@a-lurker done!

[Crille]

@ronluna I reinstalled the plugin from altappstore but still can't change setpoint. It's sending the wrong characteristicType

@crille I thought there were only two type of temperature controller (Thermostat and HeaterCooler) in homebridge/homekit but apparently I'm wrong. I also thought homebridge/homekit (depending on the device type) would force device to share the same characteristicType ... Seems like I was wrong again... so depending on the plugin being used on homebridge the author may very well define the characteristicType somewhat differently to other plugin-ins...

What kind of thermostat is configured on your homebridge setup? Brand / model . Can you please share the json response when the plug-in is updating the device’s values.. similar to this:

[Crille]

@ronluna I thought so as well. That’s why I thought any device configured as a thermostat in homebridge would have the same characteristics and your plugin would support it.
My “thermostat” is another homebridge plugin for MELCloud (Mitsubishi cloud for my WiFi connected inverters).

Here is the json response:

[ronluna]

@crille Please test the latest commit on github.

[Crille]

@ronluna Sorry, but it does not work.

I believe the MELCloud plugin only accepts "TargetTemperature" for changing Setpoint

luup_log:17: homebridge2openluup debug: response_body PUT 1 = {"statusCode":400,"message":"Invalid characteristicType. Valid types are: 'TargetHeatingCoolingState', 'TargetTemperature', 'TemperatureDisplayUnits', 'RotationSpeed', 'TargetHorizontalTiltAngle', 'TargetVerticalTiltAngle'.","error":"Bad Request"}

and not

luup.variable_set:: 18.urn:upnp-org:serviceId:TemperatureSetpoint1_Heat.CurrentSetpoint was: 22 now: 18 #hooks:0

This is only if you want to support the MELCloud provisioned thermostat, otherwise do not put to much energy in to it.

For me it would be at great way to control my temperature triggered by house modes since there is no MELCloud plugin for openLuup.

[ronluna]

@crille said in Homebridge to Openluup:

TargetTemperature

That's characteristicType the plugin is trying to set for your plugin. Can your share what are the Manufacturer, Model and Type variables set to?

[Crille]

@ronluna Ok, maybe I'm not understanding the logs correct then

[ronluna]

@crille are you certain you are using the latest L_Homebridge2openluup1.lua from github?

line 813 should read:

elseif thermostatManu == "Mitsubishi" and thermostatModel == "Default-Model" then -- FOR Mitsubishi

[Crille]

@ronluna Yes, but I think I found the issue.
I uploaded to /cmh-ludl/files/ first install and manual update but the AltAppstore version runs from /cmh-ludl?
where I get a permission denied when trying to replace the files.
