@cw-kid I have not been able to login since the 28/03.
As to rebel, just a little more blunt than you. As I see it someone was on a purge.
Shame they are purging people that help others, specially vera support, still plenty of support here though.

I am a Electrician. I installed hundreds of smart devices for others prior to having my own home automation. In 2013 I bought a new house and decided to make it smart. I did some homework and settled on Z-wave and VeraPlus.
My installation comprises of
25 Z-wave dimmer/switch inserts
3 Z-wave door sensors
10 sonoff devices(basics,TH16 and Mini) ,
4 Tuya(lamps and RGB strips) ,
6 shellys(connected to motion sensors and 2 controlling dead DIY bolts )
3 Amazon Dots(gen2)
2 Broadlink (RMPro's)
4 DIY RF Venetian Blinds
2 Multi button DIY remotes
1 NVR
1 Network drive/Media server/ftp server.
1 smart thermostat heating and hot water
4 wired 240v/battery Aico smoke and heat detectors (connect to zwave via Relays)
1 robot hover.
1 Siren
Node-red server running on android.
Testing openluup on android.
Automate App running on andorid Boxes/phones.
All tv's are connected to android boxes.
No windows PC.
Debian running on android box.
Plugins Reactor, AlexaTTS, Switchboard and Virtual HTTP Switch.

I can control all of my devices from anyone of these platforms Vera/OpenLuup, Node-red, Automate(phone/tv box) or Alexa.
All devices have a standard/manual switch for anyone to control, and can be controlled even if my VeraPlus stopped working or internet out. My system is stable and may get a luup reload every couple of weeks.

None of my sonoff's or tuya have been flashed. I found Shelly very late into game and will be using these more now i found them, as they offer local control.

I have some coding knowledge from the 90's, but have never worked in the industry.

Hi to all, Thought i would join as not to miss out on anygood information that you developers may share here.

note- The input box for text does not display to well.I can not see what i am typing.
Android 8 full sreen on tv box using firefox mobile view.
If i use desktop view everything is ok.

@CatmanV2 said in This is me:

Well, if I see further, it's because I stand of the shoulders of giants. I've got where I got because of the experts here.

Well said.

Here is a simple integration of OpenLuup/vera device to Alexa via Node-red.

E1cid/Node-red-Vera

Node-red flows for Vera. Contribute to E1cid/Node-red-Vera development by creating an account on GitHub.

The speed is fast sub 1 second responses.

Requirements -
node-red.
alexa.
node-red-contrib-amazon-echo(local Hue devices).
openluup or Vera (or any controller via http requests).

Capabilities-
Binary switch.
dimming switch.
rgb switch.
Run scenes.

Each alexa device node is configured in the topic of the amazon-echo device node -
(device number#type of switch)
bnary - 123#binary.
dimming - 123#dimming.
rgb - 123#colour (W/D is default 310 to adjust colour temp add value to end e.g. 123#colour#300
scene - 123#scene#124 (123 on 124 off. 124 can be omitted).

Enter the ip of your controller in the http request block.
Just copy code and import into Node-red

@cw-kid

Yes i am here, as always I will help anyone who asks.

Just for info - I have no idea what the reason for my suspension, I have contacted CS but they seem to be just ignoring my request for a clear reason.

As to GDPR if they run servers in europe then we are covered by GDPR, even if they move the servers to the US, as I think there is a privacy agreement with the US.

GDPR in the USA | GDPR compliance in US | GDPR and PII

GDPR in USA - find out how its affect USA, and become compliant with Cookiebot today.

0.5019607843137255, 0, 0.5019607843137255 You may want to round them. LOL

I now have node-red setting a silent switching of a v device, by saying "wake me up at [any time and/or day]". also depending which echo i use i can set a different v device, so different morning routines for each bedroom.

@catman you can also do all your H A Bridge devices in node red to, as it has the local hue lights bridge to. So you could replace H A Bridge with node-red. It would not be difficult to set a http request to set your virtual alarm.

Yes thanks for your efforts @DesT

if the value is 0.11 then ${{variable_name * 100}} would give you 11, If i understand correctly.

Hi Not seeing the download for this build in the MantisBT bug tracker.

Is @christian_fabre bridged to mosquitto? As when I reload OpenLuup I have to restart mosquitto to get them talking again.

Hi just installed, the exclude is working fine, no errors and device 32 error has gone.
Typo on new Bridge tab (missing d).
Nice that name and device Id are there, makes it easy to find device id's.
Cheers.

p.s. Hopefully Ezlo will Add functionality for the new broad link, as would be nice to get direct access to action the remote code direct from OpenLuup. No need to then set up scenes.(but as you say only if 48hours in a days)

Once again thank You.

looking for error on new openluup i see this

Which is the excluded broadlink device.

@catmanv2
There has to be L swL and N. at either the switch or the light, unless there is a joint box under the floor(which by regs should be accessible unless crimped or approved joints).

@catmanv2

To answer your question the a non dimmable lamp will be fine if at full brightness, and as you dim it it will start to flicker. This should not damage the dimmer,

With UK wiring system you can install dimming inserts or standard relay inserts at the light fitting, as you will find Live, Neutral and switched live at the fitting.

Tried that last night both cleansession false and ture, no effect

I have posted the issue in the Eclypse forum.

OK Mosquitto reports bridge disconnect and 5 seconds later reconnects, when i reload luup.

I then power off 1 device and back on, Mosquitto reports device already connected,closing connection then new client shelly device and ip.

back in AltUI the device i power cycled is working , all other still not.

I was thinking that the bridge may be starting a new clean session when open luup reconnects after a reload, maybe that's an issue.

Did not notice as the variables in the I3's are not as easy to notice as a switch moving position

i can return to previous version and check if you wish, what should i type instead of development is it 21.4.17?
