Hi,
I installed the bosch binding and buyed a window/door contact. Only the intrusion detection part is working ( I thought ordered a Window/Door Contact II but without a intrusion detection system ) and there is no contact channel . Do anybody have the same problem or an idea whats wrong in my configuration ? The Bosch App shows the contact status.

Thanks in advance,

Chris

Here my Item config :

Bridge boschshc:shc:192-158-185-200 [ ipAddress="192-158-185-200",  password="mypw" ] {

  Thing window-contact entrance_contact "Eingangstüre"            [ id="hdm:ZigBee:1234" ]
  Thing intrusion-detection-system entrance "Eingangstüre"            [ id="hdm:ZigBee:1234" ]
                                                                                                      
}

Hello Chris,
i have the same. I bought a Window/Door Contact II. I use the old (first) Controller.
In the App the Sensor is ok but i cant find the Sensor with a scan and in the openhab.log is no entry for detecting a new Sensor.
is this a problem with the Version II ? Its newer and in the App it says its Zigbee

Hi,
Have you added the brige already ?

Don’ know- the App shows one ID - but with that ID only the intrusion system is working :-(.

Hi @chri5,

there are at least two issues in your configuration:

  • In the bridge configuration, the IP address must be separated by dots, not by dashes: ipAddress="192.158.185.200"
  • The intrusion detection system is a global system for the whole Smart Home Controller, it is not specific to sensors. It has a static id, which is why you don’t have to configure an ID at all.

@chri5 and @Jorg_Karsten, have you tried a newer openHAB version meanwhile? There is now support for automatic device discovery, which should make it easier to find and add the devices. Also Door/Window Contact II is supported out of the box. In older versions, you can still use window-contact things (the basic sensor version), it will also work with Door/Window Contact II.
