The whole 'who did you ban today' got the most reactions in months. For some reason totally unclear to me he keeps saying that what is discussed on this forum is 'competition' and luring customers away. Nothing here is something one can buy or anyone here makes money on, so he should better focus on the real competition. (and better QA as every update something breaks, that is still the old Vera way). Any way, it is his company, and we have openLuup and MSR now of course. I just still lack the time for it all.

Hi Rene here. Nice to see familiar posters here. I claim zero copyrights on my stuff, so use what is found useful.

Found the issue. Fixed version 2.2 is in the ALTUI App store.

Still reading the forum, but mainly busy with serious reconstruction work on the house (bathroom and two rooms to go). Once that dust settles I am sure I will be more active again. Ezlo is powerd off, Hubitat slowly taking over (has its own short comings, but zwave does not seem one of them). MSR provides a key function to make that transfer simpler. openLuup still key in keeping it all running.
Keep up the good work.

Hi a-lurker,

This is a pesty problem with the LuaSocket lib that has been fixed years ago, but for some reason is not in the latest GA packages. The problem is in buffer.c, the timeout is only handled correctly if it is compiled with debug flags. Look at about line 80, and if that shows a compiler flag it will have the problem you see. You can install the luarocks scm-2 version and it should work as expected. I have the running with openLuup without any problems.

Hi @Crille ,

There was a discussion on the category_num attribute not getting set by openLuup when a device is created. I thought that got changed some releases back. However, just as you I see that the category_num gets wiped after a reload. The VeraBridge does not look to have that problem, so it must indeed be something I do different. I will have a look.

At 276 Euro's and just one meter radius for breath detection I think I'll waive my arms for now

Hi AK,
On Vera? You smart man, never thought of that. It does work on that.

I am running a Pi3 with an X850 mSata drive adapter so you eliminate the weak SD card. Runs like a charm.

Hi, instead of full DYI I switched to Hubitat. Nice thing is that MSR supports both Vera and Hubitat so you can migrate in phases. I'm running MSR in Docker on a NAS. I added HA for some integrations that do not exist for Hubitat, also using docker, and also linked with MSR. Last I use openLuup to run some plugins that came from Vera and have not found good replacements for. All logic that is complex or needs more than one platform sits in MSR.
When you move a (zwave) device from Vera to Hubitat (or HA) it is just a matter of changing to old device to the new in MSR rules and the wife does not even notice

For fun I also added InfluxDB and Grafana and am now learning to build some nice dashboard as a sort of datamine replacement. Using MSR you can feed Influx form any of the connected systems. HA and Hubitat have InfluxDB connections.

As you see, many options to ditch Vera.

Cheers Rene

Hi @Crille

Yes, it is now using the value based on a mapping table. To keep a changed value I would have to make some changes yes. I will let you know.

Cheers Rene

Same here. Modified some Qubino drivers and made one to set associations, but that is it. Still relying on Openluup for most.

That did it. Thanks for your help.

Yes, that was it. V2.4 has a fix

I can have a look if all mappings can be on the device type that would remove the need on the category value, but not sure if that applies to all or not.
Cheers

Funny, looks like the inside of a Homey https://homey.app/en-gb/explainer/technology/, sort off.

This is also how the Dutch Homey (https://homey.app/en-us/) started. It took them a good three years to get to a 'good' system. If Ezlo falls through, it is my backup plan.

The newTargetValue for BinarySwitch is correct and my current code is wrong. I am making updates and expect to publish them one of these days. I never noticed it to be wrong as I control all standard devices on the Veras rather than through openLuup. I might change this so in imperihome I only need the openLuup device setup and no longer the Vera's. The latter loose their connection frequently so I would solve that too.

Cheers Rene

Hi,

There is a plugin for this already. See https://github.com/reneboer/Vera-Dutch-Smartmeter . In the user Guide you can find details on the cable you need and how to install on openLuup. This only reads the data for you, the graphs is a separate to-do.

Cheers Rene

Is the V6 box in direct sight of the Hub or do you use a IR extender just for that? Did that unplug or die? Else, I have no idea. I just hope my harmony keeps working for many many years (knock wood)
Cheers Rene
