Any interest in a Subcategory for Homebridge?

Being an iPad/iPhone user, I use Homebridge for a number of things. Although it runs completely independently from my main Vera home set up.

Is anyone else using Homebridge and if there is enough interest would a subcategory be of use ?

Light automation thoughts

Hi all

Looking for some ideas about how I might be able to automate my lights.

Currently I have Fibaro FGMS001 (combined lux / motion / temperature sensors)

I can currently get the lights to come on in a room by simply implying that lux <100 and the movement sensor is tripped. That's not so bad, although it's a bit crude.

Struggling more with:
Keeping them on: I've turned the motion sensitivity up quite a lot, but when (fore example) reading in bed, they trip off
Extending a timer (so there's a minimum time of 'on' after trip) needs to get quite high, such that you might be in a room for 10 seconds, and the lights stay on for 20 minutes.

Any bright ideas?

Cheers

Setting Aeotec Siren 6 volume and duration not working

Having trouble setting the Aeotec Siren 6 volume and the duration for a specific siren (alarm).

Reactor version: latest-23010-7dd2c9e9

Setting the tone value works fine. On the other end, what ever value I put under volume_level and duration has no effect.

As usual, I am doing something wrong but can't figure out what.

Thanks in advance.

DynamicGroupController Feedback

I finally decided to make use of the DynamicGroupController.

I needed to find an easy/effective way to identify devices with low battery levels and this caught my attention.

I created an expression, actually two. One to get the entity names and another one to strip off "_battery_level" at the end of an entity name. That way it looks clean when a notification is sent.

So far, I like what it can do and will try to see where else I can leverage it despite being experimental.

I did search this forum for comments/feedback. I couldn't find any. So I apologize up front if there were.

Question for Patrick, am I safe to use this controller? Should I only use it for testing purposes?

Thanks

Temperature set point changes un-expectedly

Any thoughts on this? OpenLuup / MSR on bare metal Debian Bullseye.

The heating normally comes on an hour before the radio, this morning that was 0430.

Normally this works perfectly and has done for many weeks. This morning though, something odd:

Device in question is 20300. In shot, MSR correctly triggered and changed the setpoint to 21 at
2023-01-16T04:30:00.147Z

But at
2023-01-16 04:31:51.128
OpenLuup has reset the set point to 18.

More than prepared to accept this as a glitch, but curious as to any thoughts?

Owntracks / Mosquitto String updates unexepectedly.

All great stuff going on 🙂 One thing I am wondering about is is it possible to view the entire payload coming from Owntracks at all?
Reason I ask is that my iPhone has changed its
string_sensor.value to null even though we are snowed in. This obviously trips the binary sensor to off.
The sensor entity I have set to owntracks_in_region however remains true.

The change happened at 0523 this morning (UTC) when I was still asleep:

FWIW I have noticed the issue with the NaN on battery_power.level previously but it was while I was messing around with stuff.

My phone seems to update more frequently than Mrs C's which has not updated at all since I did a location push at 1218 UTC yesterday (to clear the battery_power.level issue.

Debian Bullseye on bare metal

The only thing I can think of right now is that for some reason my phone is sending something duff (although the other parameters (i.e. elevation, long and lat) all seem fine. Forcing a publish from the App results in everything updating as expected.

Log level in Mosquitto is set to all.

Mosquitto and Owntracks

Possibly stupid question. I have Owntracks on my phone. It's claiming to report to my Mosquitto server. However, when I transitioned out of the logged area today, I can't find any log entry that seems to correlate.

Is there documentation to integrate Mosquitto with AltUI or MSR? Or am I going the wronggggggg way (again)?

Device that comes on on Openluup restart

HI
I have a smart plug (one of many) that has the annoying habit that no matter what the condition it is in, if Openluup restarts, the plug turns on.

Hypothetical file system monitoring question

Hi all

Not looking for a solution here, but pointers.

If I wanted to assess the age of a file on the host FS (Debian Bullseye in this case) then have an MSR reaction should that file be less than a certain age, what's a good starting point for me to learn how this might be accomplished?

Any HomeSeer users here?

Syncing of updates...

....but not what you think, probably.

I doubt there's an answer here to this, and it's about Iphone locator (sorry!)

Hopefully the question is, at least, slightly interesting.

Polling on the phone is currently set to 5 minutes and IPhone locator appears to update every 5 minutes as I also get an update in the OpenLuup log every 5 minutes.

The 'problem' is that the Iphone locator (and therefore any conditions based upon a change in value) are happening 4 minutes and some seconds after the phone polls and updates its position. So effectively the phone is moving for nearly 10 minutes before any notification takes place. Which is a bit slow for my desired application.

As an example:
2022-05-05 17:27:08.244 luup.variable_set:: 55.urn:upnp-org:serviceId:IPhoneLocator1.MsgText2 was: 28.35 Km @ 0.00 Km/h on 2022-05-05 17:17 now: 28.35 Km @ 0.00 Km/h on 2022-05-05 17:22 #hooks:0 2022-05-05 17:32:12.340 luup.variable_set:: 55.urn:upnp-org:serviceId:IPhoneLocator1.MsgText2 was: 28.35 Km @ 0.00 Km/h on 2022-05-05 17:22 now: 27.77 Km @ 6.92 Km/h on 2022-05-05 17:27 #hooks:0
Where you can see that the phone must have updated its location between 17:27:08.244 and 17:28:00.000

Anyone got an bright ideas how I can reduce the discrepency?

Cheers!

Strange MSR behaviours after NAS reboots

I am running HA, MSR and ZWavejs2MQTT on a Synology NAS (Docker). When the NAS reboots (after a power outage for example), I see errors (under Status), yellow triangles in front of Rule Sets and yellow bars in front of Global Expressions. See images below.

To give you some context, in some cases MSR writes statuses to HA Helpers. In order cases, MSR just can't seem to find the referenced entities.

Also, note the bevahior under Global Expressions (images below). The one with the yellow bar says, "Invalid reference to member attributes of null". If I click the Try this expression button, the Last value will refresh accordingly and the yellow bar disappears.

Interestingly, everything seems to be working like it should even if I don't do anything. Which is weird.

This behaviour does not happen when the MSR container is stopped and restarted manually.

Anybody experienced this? Thanks

ezmqtt switch control questions/issues

E

Hi @toggledbits,

i tried the ezmqtt today, i have some issues most likely that i'm doing something wrong.

i have on my ezlo hub 3 switches, 1 dimmer and 1 motion sensor

i can control the dimmer via ezmqtt/set/device/<device-id>/item/<item-name>
but i can't control the switches.

i receive on ezmqtt/tele/device/61e8937e124c35129921171d/item/switch payload true or false depending on the state of the switch, but when i send on ezmqtt/set/device/61e8937e124c35129921171d/item/switch payload true or false nothing happens, its the same for all switches.

what i'm doing wrong?

Cheers

Using Grafana with MSR any tips ?

Hi

Hope I am allowed to post this here?

I can't figure out how to correctly show device battery levels from the Vera Plus via MSR in Granfana.

These devices don't have the battery levels that its displaying in Granfana. I've tried messing about with various settings like units and decimals but its still not right.

Years after having installed and implemented the homekit integration to the vera through the verahomekitbridge which later became the homebridge:

GitHub - rafale77/VeraHomeKitBridge

Contribute to rafale77/VeraHomeKitBridge development by creating an account on GitHub.

(I just implemented a few updates I discovered were outdated for the garage door which were meant for older vera firmwares)

I just recently came to the realization that I can do a lot more with Hey Siri with devices I already own. I have therefore a renewed interest and have been configuring my homekit installation to match my alexa capability. Unfortunately a lot of things are still pretty far behind in terms of integration but... I found homebridge and all its plugins. I just wanted to share the alternative I pursued: Home Assistant. I implemented the Homekit component for it and have been able to bridge Sonos and Harmony while my openLuup devices are still bridged into homekit through the VeraHomekitBridge. If you already have home assistant, homebridge is potentially redundant...
The probability of taking down alexa and its cloud dependency completely is increasing...

Was thinking of running a HomeKit bridge too, what Raspberry Pi are you running it on?

I am running it on the same device as openLuup... It is a VM on my QNAP NAS. This can be run on anything running linux. And as an update... I indeed took down my entire alexa/habridge setup and am fully reliant on homekit these days.

Going to give this a try, first time diving into the raspberry pi world!
