Night and day difference for me. I think I was getting a lot of interference in my media closet. Devices were very slow to respond and sometimes not at all. Switched to UZB and used a USB extender to place it a good 5 ft from the location of my pi. Now things are fast and reliable.

I have been messing with this today. I do not currently run openluup through docker so this may not even be the best way to do this but it is what I did to get it up and running and with the ability to easily see and manipulate all openluup files within "File Station" on the synology.

I created three folders on my synology:
/docker/openLuup/cmh-ludl
/docker/openLuup/logs
/docker/openLuup/backups

Then I created three volumes with a bind to the created folders
'openluup-env' bound to '/volume1/docker/openLuup/cmh-ludl'
'openluup-logs' bound to '/volume1/docker/openLuup/logs'
'openluup-backups' bound to '/volume1/docker/openLuup/backup'

I used portianer but you can ssh into your synology and use the command line to create these volumes with the binds, see this

Then I created the container using portainer making sure to set the correct ports and volume mappings, which can also be done in the command line with

docker run -d \
       -v openluup-env:/etc/cmh-ludl/ \
       -v openluup-logs:/etc/cmh-ludl/logs/ \
       -v openluup-backups:/etc/cmh-ludl/backup/ \
       -p 3480:3480
       vwout/openluup:alpine

Hope this helps.

Edit: The binds are not necessary, I only did it to make it easy to access the files. Without the bindings, the volumes are somewhat hidden on synology that is not easily accessible for example at '/volume1/@docker/volumes/openluup-env/_data'

@akbooer said in Delete all device in Room 101:

Yes, absolutely (although I kind of wonder how you reached that figure...!)

The openLuup plugin has an action EmptyRoom101 with the parameter named AreYouSure which requires the value yes (to save nasty accidents.)

Thanks. I see it. They are all old verabridge devices ( and some z-way devices that I had to repair) that are no longer needed as I am fully cloned to z-way and mostly vera free (still have two zigbee door sensors on vera).

Parameters of devices can be set through the api using this URL

YOURIP:8083/ZWaveAPI/Run/devices[DEVICE#].instances[0].Configuration.Set(PARAMETER,PARAMETER_VALUE,size=PARAMETER_SIZE)

Replace:
YOURIP with the IP of Z-way for example 192.168.1.2.
DEVICE# with the Z-way device # of the devices parameter you want to change
Parameter with the parameter # you want to change
VALUE with the Parameter value
PARAMETER_SIZE with the size of the parameter (should be 1, 2, or 4)

An example to change device 51's parameter 3 to a value of 1 with a size of 1:

192.168.1.2:8083/ZWaveAPI/Run/devices[51].instances[0].Configuration.Set(3,1,size=1)

To run it in Luup code

local status, result = luup.inet.wget("192.168.1.2:8083/ZWaveAPI/Run/devices[51].instances[0].Configuration.Set(3,1,size=1)", 5)

@toggledbits said in MSR in Alpine Docker:

OK. Let's see how this does in your hands. I've installed and uninstalled 3-4 times and it seems OK. In the bug tracker, go to #58, in the notes you'll find a download link and draft installation instructions. You can use the "monitor" function to follow that PR (emails you when things are posted--might get chatty with a lot of people in there, though). Please use that PR for reporting install-related issues.

This loads up nicely. Running unconfigured right now. I will transfer over my configs later and test it out.

Another good release. Confirming that 0000078 and 0000077 are tested and working on my system.

@rafale77 said in Delete all device in Room 101:

Congrats on the move! Please report back on positive or negative effects.

Will do. Still working through things and figuring stuff out. So far, the experience has been mostly positive with a few minor hiccups. I also have some scripts I wrote that I plan to share that helped ease my transition.

Which synology NAS are you looking at? I have a DS920+ and run MQTT in a docker container. Works great and easy to set up. Some of the lower end ones may not support docker.

kfxo

Spinning up a dedicated VM on my synology right now in anticipation of the first preview. Can't wait!

@perh said in Imperihome - missing devices:

While i wait for a replacement app for my local UI devices, i want to use imperihome as long as I can.. But i'm missing a lot of devices!

All Z-Way bridge devices, all security/smoke and motion sensors (local RFXtrx child devices)..

Found the "include vera bridge" in imperihome.lua, what else could cause this?

I had the same issue. Check that the attribute "disabled" is not set to '1' for the missing devices. See this thread

kfxo

Is it marked as failed in z-wave (z-way?) server? If you can reset the device without excluding it, I think you can use the replace failed node operation on the z-way server control section.

This is off topic to the original post so maybe it should be moved but it is directed towards the Home Assistant event_targets discussed above.

I defined an event_target in my system for emulated roku that looks like this:

    event_targets:
      "LR_Emulated_Roku_Home_Keypress":
        name: "LR Emulated Roku Home Keypress"
        capabilities:
          - button
        events:
          - event:
              event_type: "roku_command"
              data:
                source_name: "LR_Roku"
                type: "keypress"
                key: "Home"
            response:
              "button.since":
                expr: "time()"
              "button.state": true

This works great, detects the event and stores the time and True in the respective button entity attributes. However upon restarting MSR the values of the button entity attributes clear to null (e.g. button.since=null).

Is this expected behavior or should these values be maintained on restart?

I was messing around with this and I think there is an indentation issue starting at line 8. See below for what indentation worked for me.

      event_targets:    # this section starts the event-receiving entities
        "my_virtual_entity_id":     # Assign an ID to your entity; each entity must have a unique ID
          name: "My Entity Name"   # This is optional but recommended, so you have a friendly name
          capabilities:  # define an array of capabilities to be modified by the event
            - capability_name    # first capability
            - capability_name    # second, etc., as many as you need, but always at least ONE
          events:  # define an array of events that modify capability attributes on the entity
            - event:  # start of an event; each element of the events array begins this way
                event_type: "type of HomeAssistant event"
                data:  # optional section, if further matching to the event data is required
                  data_field: "data_value"    # data field to be checked/matched to data_value
                  data_field: "data_value"    # as many as you need, but each data_field must be unique
              response:  # begin the (required) response section for handling the event
                "capability.attribute":
                  expr: "expression"   # expression to get attribute value from event data
                  # repeat "capability.attribute" section for all attributes modified by the event

It appears from the Nest- Home Assistant docs that the doorbell generates a nest_event (doorbell_chime). Unfortunately I do not believe there is any way for MSR to see these events. I have brought this up previously with respect to Emulated Roku. My work around is to use a native HA automation to detect the event and trigger a helper object that MSR can see, in my case I place the text of the event in a input_text helper which MSR can see.

@toggledbits said in Change in Plans (Don't Panic):

Maybe once I get the ZWaveJS interface fleshed out

Curious about progress on this. I was just messing around with ZwaveJS today and was thinking of utilizing it to move all my zwave devices from openluup+zway to HA+ZwaveJS. Obviously a direct ZwaveJS interface to MSR would be optimal.

Also is there any plans of a tool that might allow us to swap an entity reference in the rules? Moving zwave devices to ZwaveJS would require going through all MSR rules one by one and remapping to reference the ZwaveJS entity instead of the openluup entity.

@catmanv2 I have been keeping an eye on this project. Looks promising. I hope they deliver.

kfxo

I could definitely see it being useful for dashboards and also if an integrated controller does not provide the ability to create a virtual device.

kfxo

@toggledbits So what would be the difference between MSR provided Virtual Devices and expressionless variables? Do you envision interacting with the virtual devices in MSR? Right now I use expressionless variables whenever I need to keep track of some value and I have no intention of needing to modify the value outside of logic. I use virtual devices both in openluup and HA when I intend to physically interact to change the value (or I have no other way of getting the value into MSR..cough cough HA event data generated by integrations that are not reflected in entities). I guess I am not seeing why MSR would need Virtual Devices to act as data containers when MSR already has data containers with expressionless variables.

kfxo

There is a post from me above in this thread (sorry don't know how to link specific post) that explains how I got it to work. Have you tried that? I think the issue is synology gui does not support the correct type of volumes and you have to ssh into synology and run the correct docker command to set it up.

kfxo

I think I had this same issue. If you copy the files in cmh-ludl from an existing openluup install into ' /OpenLuup/openluup-env' it should start right up.

AltUI will not update under openLuup (Vera: not sure what it does)
