High temperature sensor for Zigbee
R

I have an oven that I need to manage the temperature of, keeping it in the neighborhood of 600° C (1100° F). I have not been able to find a Zigbee-enabled solution to measure temps that high. Does anyone know if such a thing exists? If not, any ideas for how to roll a custom solution that I could integrate into a Sonoff ihost controller? I have no trouble finding high temperature probes, but none of them interface with my automation stack.

MSR UI on a mobile browser
tunnusT

I've managed to use MSR UI on iOS devices to some degree*, so that although UI elements (e.g. rule sets) are not visible in portrait mode, you've seen them in landscape. Now with recents builds (24302) this does not work anymore, elements (rule sets, entities) are not anymore visible in landscape mode.

Does anyone have similar experiences? Using iOS 18 and Safari/Chrome browser.

( *Drag & drop of rule conditions have never worked on a mobile)

New to Home Automation Looking for a Single app?
A

Hi All

Hopefully this place looks like a helpful forum as I’m quite new to all this!

I’ve had a few devices all working separately /through their proprietary apps but we’re just finishing off a large house extension and this has added to the list.

I’d ideally like to be able to view/switch a number of different devices on one screen/head end but have no idea where to start.

The devices we have/will have shortly are as follows;

Zigbee Smart Sockets
Zigbee smart switches (for lights)
Heatmiser Neo Underfloor Heating (this runs from a Samsung ASHP but that part is automatic)
Samsung VRF air conditioning (currently using Smart Things App)
Hive (2xLTHW heating circuits in the existing house and Hot Water)
Ring (doorbell!)
Hik Vision PoE CCTV

We have lots of appliances (Neff N70) which we can control remotely but not too fussed about controlling those at the
Moment)

Any help/recommendations would be appreciated!

Thanks

Adrian

Sending data to a USB port to interface with a wireless switch
F

I have a legacy home automation set-up running on Windows XP. the computer and software have now died.
I have written a very nice Excel VBA program to replace the software and it can run on any modern Windows system.
My only remaining problem is to output the correct signal to a USB port to trigger the wireless switches.
Has anybody done a similar exercise. Please help.

Seeking Advice:
G

The locksmith is trying to persuade me to purchase the BE-TECH K35 touchscreen lock with both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, claiming it's better than the Yale Assure Lock 2. What are your thoughts on this? Which one would you recommend?

Here is the link to the Chinese brand BE-TECH: BE-TECH Smart Deadbolt K3S.

The other smart lock I am considering is the Schlage Encode Plus.

Thank you!

Looking for Remote Switch boxes that can also be used with a wireless Decora Style Switch.
V

Hi All,

Kind of new to Home Automation. Started off Using Amazon Echo units and added a Samsung SmartThings hub. I have mostly been using plug in modules for turning lights on and off. I live in a very rural area where the internet goes out a lot. I eventually want to change to to a non internet Hub so things will work without needing an internet connection. But I will post with those questions at a later date.

So, the task at hand is this: I have flood lights at each corner of my house. They are currently controlled by switches at the front and back doors. I would like to add Security Cameras to each corner also. I can easily find small Wifi switches to put into the electrical box where the flood lights are located, then I can terminate the leads together behind the Decora switch to have constant power. Then I can use the constant power up at the lights electrical box to power the security cameras. I would also like to have a wireless switch to take the place of the Decora switch to be able to turn the lights off and on.

I cannot seem to find a product like this. It seems I can find the small wired in switch boxes that will also come with external smart wall switches, but the wall switches are an external box that does not fit in or cover the existing Wall switch electrical box. I can also find Wireless Decora switches that come with a remote wired in small switch box , but they all seem to be RF and do not integrate with a Smart Hub.
I am hoping someone here knows of a product that matches what I am looking for. Any help would be appreciated.

Also any recommendations for Wireless Security cameras are welcome.

Thanks for any help.

Openluup - verabridge can not load devices.
D

Hello,

I have a fresh openluup install on a raspberry.
Just installed "Vera Bridge" plugin, but I can't make it to work.
The plugin can not load the device infos from the vera.
This is what I can see in the OpenLuup log :

openLuup.client:: WGET error status: -1, request: http://192.168.1.2/port_3480/data_request?id=user_data2&output_format=json&ns=1

I have tried it from a console on the same raspberry this way :
wget http://192.168.1.2:3480/data_request?id=user_data2&output_format=json&ns=1
It worked, so I think it's not credential or network issue.

What can be the solution for this ?

And I have authenticated to MSR as "admin" user. However, I'm getting "access denied" when trying to access http://*******:8111/api/v1/log

So what I'm missing, is my ACL incorrectly defined?

Why different types of Triggers within openLuup & ALTUI
parkercP

Sorry if this has been covered before, just curious why triggers in openluup are not consistent..

I looked at a scene i’d created a while back via ALTUI using the Console view and noticed it didn’t show any Triggers, which was strange as it was my main front door event 🙂 . So I added the door tripped trigger again, but I’ve just noticed I now how two tiggers using this view.

In ALTUI it shows this.

Here's the file: https://gist.github.com/dbochicchio/825098ac13b7f8cac22012eae37ff7ce

A couple of things are still too bright and I'll eventually catch-up. Just place it under your /config directory, naming the file as customstyles.css. Hard refresh your browser.

openLuup_install.lua - URL changed?

AK. Was doing an openLuup install and the installer errored with:

openLuup_install 2019.02.15 @akbooer getting openLuup version tar file from GitHub branch master... un-zipping download files... getting dkjson.lua... lua5.1: openLuup_install.lua:45: GitHub download failed with code 500 stack traceback: [C]: in function 'assert' openLuup_install.lua:45: in main chunk [C]: ?

The installer code was executing this URL:

http://dkolf.de/src/dkjson-lua.fsl/raw/dkjson.lua?name=16cbc26080996d9da827df42cb0844a25518eeb3

Running it manually gives:

dkolf.de The script could not be run error-free. Please check your error log file for the exact error message. You can find this in the KIS under "Product Management > *YOUR PRODUCT* > *CONFYGUAR* > Logfiles". Further information can be found in our FAQ. The script could not be executed correctly. Please refer to your error log for details about this error. You find it in your KIS under item "Product Admin > *YOUR PRODUCT* > *CONFIGURE* > Logfiles". Further information can also be found in our FAQ.

I'm thinking the dkjson code URL has been changed. On dkolf.de there is a download link:

http://dkolf.de/dkjson-lua/dkjson-2.8.lua

and dkjson code also seems to be in GitHub (I presume this is the same code?):

https://github.com/LuaDist/dkjson/blob/master/dkjson.lua

I'm don't know what dkolf.de looked like previously but I do see the dkjson code has been updated as of 2024-06-17. Hope this helps.

Oh - and by the way the dkjson.lua file seems to have been downloaded OK by the installer - error or no error, so go figure.

Just starting what hub is best.
I

Dear Forum,

I am just starting a smart home system. I've wanted to do this for 10 years at most and really would like to get a start. What I have are a couple of SONOFF wifi relays, some 433 (Hz/mHz) switches ( not wifi ) a couple of wifi lightbulbs, and I'd like to expand wifi thermostat, leak/water detectors, garage door openers and what ever else I can think of.

In the SONOFF items I have it's a particular app, the wifi bulbs are another app, and if I do a thermostat there might be another app. My wife is not a Luddite but she damn sure doesn't want to have to trouble shoot if/why a particular app breaks down.

So in what I do understand about smart home things is that I need/want a HUB. I spent 15 years doing some programming so I do have some computer ability, though I'd prefer to stay away from HAVING to line command operate the hub.

I would like a list of HUB's that people have found to be the best. Even better are links to let's say Amazon for that hub.

Regards from Noob Smart Home,
Barry

TTS in MSR?
F

Hi!

In Home Assistant I sometimes uses the TTS, either to my Sonos or Google speakers. With reactor in Vera I also use TTS.
But in MSR I can't select the TTS-service. It's simply not there. Am I missing something, or is this the case, so far?
Thanks!

OpenLuup : Loading Global Modules
parkercP

It’s been a while since I looked at openLuup as it had been running nicely and quietly in the background doing some basic tasks. With my VeraPlus looking like it’s finally succumbing to old age, I want to shift a number of the global module I have over to openLuup.

To do this, I have added the files (example would be xxpushover.lua to the cmh-ludl folder and the following to the startup

require “xxpushover”

The xxpushover.lua file itself starts with the following..

module("xxpushover", package.seeall)

And I always have a line in these files to allow me to check it’s been read in the start up related logs, which in this case it is..

The challenge I’m having is that when I try to call any of the functions within the module, it returns the following error..

"[string "ALTUI - LuaRunHandler"]:1: attempt to index global 'xxpushover' (a nil value)”

I’m no doubt missing something obvious, can anyone help me find out what it is ? Many thanks

Should MSR import this device type from an Ezlo controller?

Hi

I have just connected a bunch of EzloPi controllers to MSR to import some ESP based devices etc.

They all seemed to have worked and imported in to MSR apart from I have one missing device. It is a Digital Gas Sensor device.

There is also an Analog Gas sensor that one did import in to MSR OK.

They have an EzloPi website here you can create your own sensor projects using ESP boards, which is very interesting stuff!

And I just wrote on the Ezlo forum here, how to connect an EzloPi controller to MSR.

THANKS.

Build 21228 has been released. Docker images available from DockerHub as usual, and bare-metal packages here.

Home Assistant up to version 2021.8.6 supported; the online version of the manual will now state the current supported versions; Fix an error in OWMWeatherController that could cause it to stop updating; Unify the approach to entity filtering on all hub interface classes (controllers); this works for device entities only; it may be extended to other entities later; Improve error detail in messages for EzloController during auth phase; Add isRuleSet() and isRuleEnabled() functions to expressions extensions; Implement set action for lock and passage capabilities (makes them more easily scriptable in some cases); Fix a place in the UI where 24-hour time was not being displayed.

A couple of things about Reactor 24293
therealdbT

A couple of things for you @toggledbits, since you mentioned that this release has new features and some tweaks are expected.

Local expressions cannot be deleted. Pushing the X button has no effect for me.

When cloning an entity action, the result is strange (first is cloned one, second is the original action):
a92ea094-9e2c-4aaa-bf47-2d07a6ffdbd0-image.png

When changing the action on the cloned element, the params are added to the original one. See screenshot:
92ac3011-83c8-466b-bd23-47d483ad7a52-image.png

Dark theme has a couple of strange contrasts. One is visible in the previous screenshots (white text on yellow background). Another one is in groups (blue text on blue background):
9b3c4988-53ef-44e6-9672-30e744cacb75-image.png Overall, I found blue, yellow, red and green (in buttons and forms) to be too bright.

On the bright side:

I love the new script action: thank you! The dark theme is a great start to avoid getting blinded at night I promise I'll try very soon the new features around actions. Thanks!

    Homebridge to Openluup
  • R ronluna

    Sharing what I believe is a great way to add support to devices that used to work but since existing plugin haven't been maintain by the original authors (or any other developer in the community) have stopped working as they've abandon or moved to other platform...

    Homebridge has a large and very active community and I think this type of plugin will a good way to benefit from it.

    It will bring any device that have been configured in homebridge into openluup.

    Currently it support, thermostat (Nest and others), Switches (Specially MyQ), Dimmers, Switches, Motion Sensors, Door Lock (Open/close) Support to other type of device can easily be added.

    Homebridge2Openluup
    Installation:

    • upload the files to /you_openluup_directory/files/
    • create a new device with D_Homebridge2openluup1.xml

    Screen Shot 2021-03-14 at 12.55.29 PM.png

    • Set your hombredige IP, username, password to the deivce's attributes

    Screen Shot 2021-03-14 at 12.57.00 PM.png

    • Capture the uuid of the device you would like to bring from Homebridge into openluup by looking at your openluup logs when starting

    Screen Shot 2021-03-14 at 1.00.53 PM.png

    • based on the device type, set DeviceList Variable

    Screen Shot 2021-03-14 at 1.02.51 PM.png

    T for thermostat
    D for dimmers
    S for switches
    G for garage doors
    L for Locks
    A for motion sensors

    and build a string device type are delimited by a ; (semicolong) and device's uui by a , (comma) like this:
    T:homebridge_thermostat1_uuid,homebridge_thermostat2_uuid;D:homebridge_dimmer1_uuid,homebridge_dimmer2_uuid etc

    This still in beta, would love to add async next and support to shades and other sensors.

    • Generic support for vacuums
  • R ronluna

    @therealdb could use homebridge 2 openluup also...

    • Add Indicator commandClass to zNode metric
  • R ronluna

    I'm trying to monitor the indicator command class of a 5 button scene controller in Z-Way so openluup can properly create and track it.

    seems like Z-Way COMMAND_CLASS_INDICATOR (0x87 or 135) are not being monitored by the ZWave module as I couldn't find anything for this command class in (/z-way-server-path/automation/modules/ZWave/index.js)

    When a Get or Set Indicator command class request is sent to the controller. ZSniffer picks up the request and response just fine although this packets are not being monitored by the zwave module
    Example:

    ZWayIP:8083/ZWaveAPI/Run/SendData(NodeID,[ Command_Class, Instance, Value ])
ZWayIP:8083/ZWaveAPI/Run/SendData(2,[ 0x87, 0x01, 0x01 ]) (Hexa)
ZWayIP:8083/ZWaveAPI/Run/SendData(2,[ 135, 1, 1 ]) (Decimal)

    the answer looks like:

    [2020-04-24 19:59:36.261] [I] [zway] Waiting for job reply: Indicator Get
[2020-04-24 19:59:36.281] [D] [zway] RECEIVED: ( 01 0B 00 04 00 02 03 87 03 01 B6 00 C2 )
[2020-04-24 19:59:36.281] [D] [zway] SENT ACK

    I’d like to store the Indicator response “RECEIVED” correctly. I believe by modifying the index.js of the zwave module could do the trick and once the module start tracking the indicator command class values as a metric then openluup's z-way plugin would properly track any changes as well.

    I'm wondering if anyone around here could share any thoughts or comments that could make it easier...

    • Apple Homepod mini
  • R ronluna

    @akbooer That's right... and just like that... apple is taking over then entire home automation industry.... too bad there is no Home app for Android. Well Front end and first layer voice control related...

    • Homebridge to Openluup
  • R 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...

    • Homebridge to Openluup
  • R ronluna

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

    • Homebridge to Openluup
  • R ronluna

    @Crille I was using an older version. I have pushed a fixed to make device's name persistent after engine reload. please update the plugin and share the results when you get a chance.

    Thanks @akbooer for the pointing this out.
