[BTicino/OpenWebNet] New openHAB2 binding ready for testing

This is a good idea, specially to attract other developers that can contribute to the binding and lib. Will setup something and let you know!

I completely agree! I think would be a good pushing element for the development of the new binding! Let us now!

I installed OH 2.5.11and the latest unofficial jar file. All good. I am playing around with OH3 and the official binding on a test test up, so early days yet.

@massi
For the latest unofficial jar the sporadic random gateway connection errors I used to see and detect are no longer in the logs. So, I guess you fixed the non standard nonce handshake issue. :slightly_smiling_face: Thx.

edit… I guess I had a run off luck because soon after I posted this I saw this my logs

this has been fixed in official 2.5.11 and 3.0.0. Not in the unofficial jar.

Hello massi,
any news for WHO=4 Thermoregulation in openHab 3.0?

1 Like

a basic support (no Central Unit) of WHO=4 is work in progress, but I have no target release yet: In any case it will be released as 3.1.0.M?, unfortunately 2.5.x cannot be improved with new features.

Hallo OH OpenWebNet users.
I encourage everyone who has not done yet to answer the polls here.
It’s your opportunity to prioritize (but not guarantee!) new features support for the next 6-9 months.
@m4rk, @bastler, @gozilla01, @enrico.mcc, @k0nti, @llegovich, @gabriele.daltoe, @feodor : as previously active participants I guess you have already answered the poll?

I will close the polls at >50 participants: I am bit surprised as I thought there were many more users, are we really less than 50 here??? Do not think so! So come on! express what is important for you!

Also I encourage everyone who has the time in these lockdown days and have the expertise to install OH 3.0, just released (maybe on a testing device/docker). OH3 requires some learning curve, but the MainUI has a lot of interesting new features and in any case this is the future for OH and for this binding.
It is always important to have your feedback to check everything works as expected.

As final note I will soon clean and then move the old issues for the testing binding to the official issues for OH.

I have voted. I would have liked a 4th option as the three I chose are essential for me just to stand still. 4th would be the video side of things as I have a video door bell that so far is not part of openHAB

I do have OH3 on test set up. It looks very different. Gulp!

I have about 600 items defined for OH2 5.11, lots of things, rules and scripts all in text based config files. It’s very daunting to contemplate abandoning text based configurations and I have no idea how to back up UI based setups confidently and reliably restore the setups when needed.

So, I watch and wait for now

I installed OH3 via the openhabian config tool. That was easy for my simple test set up with one light switch, no rules or other bindings and features.

hello mark,
I do have OH3 on production because my original SD is gone…and my 2.5.11 installation…sigh…

I reload everything in text based config and all is working, also Habpanel is working.
The thing missing for me is “control” page in paperUi for testing all the item linked…

I’m waiting for full bticino binding…

Thats good news. Thanks.

I am using SSD no issues with it so far. I plan to make a complete mirror set up . Pi4 and SSD when the parts arrive next week. I will then test and setup OH3 on these (currently Pi3b) . When done I will copy the OH3 setup SSD and SD boot onto ‘spares’ as backups but the lack features on the openwebnet for OH3 will delay a complete move over.

I think that a large part of users, read this forum only when searching for some answer or when they do the first installation.
Unfortunately, it’s very common in every forum/community :frowning:

In any case, I’ll take this opportunity to thank you and all the developers behind this project :slight_smile:

I did the poll: I don’t recall what I answered, but I’m sure I’ve answered😁

Hello. I have just Installed OH 3 on a test PI3 after having moved the production OH2 to a new PI4. I just copied the text files from old system and they worked as expected. The addons installation is not working at installation time, but it worked well from paperUI.
In this test I have the opportunity to clean old text files from things I left there form beginning and mostly no more interesting. I had no problems for lights and automations. Next step will be to check the WHO=4 thermo environment, when it will be available before to switch to OH3.
Minor changes were done to scripts to avoid warning on useless casting and some check to devices lest in UNKNOWN state at startup. Nothing important to blame! Great work!!!

Hi Massi
I answered the survey.
At the moment I’m too busy with other jobs and I don’t have much time to devote to OpenHab as it has been working for some time … I keep the thread monitored … quiet. Thanks for your great work!

Yes @massi, already voted. Thanks for your efforts!!!

I think there are many members who only come by when they have problem.

The forum tools for alerting members seem limited. I can’t see a way to send a mass notification. So, maybe you have add more user names as you did. Maybe a moderator can help? The first post lists the frequent posters

Gozzila… he just disappeared didn’t he? Last activity was 2019.

Also, githib has interested members on the relevant threads and maybe better tools to help you reach out

Hi All,

I’m new to the forum (entered with OH 2.5.11 and the official version of OpenWebNet binding with only switch and automation support). I have a home automation MyHome system with 70 things (MH202, light, rollershutter, heating control). I upgraded to OH3 and all the things are working properly with the OH3 OpenWebNet binding (of course, only switches and rollershutters).
I decided to move to UI configuration but I keep the text configuration files updated and stored elsewhere (as I think that restoring from text files and make mass changes would be faster). I imported my text configured items to UI through the “Add Items from Textual Definition”, it worked well. So far I’m happy with OH UI, I think it has great potential. I look forward to new function to be implemented in the binding. Unfortunately, I have no hard-coding capabilities to help the development.
I really thank massi for his hard work, I already voted.

I have voted also , tying to test the OH3 in a couple of day , thanks a lot for this amazing binding !

I just prepared a second Pi for OH3. Count me in for testing. I will have capacity only on weekends or holidays like now - but happy to contribute. A switch from OH2 to OH3 production would require for me lights/automation/temperature/cen.

I echo Mark’s request for Video Door entry - my wish is that OH3 eventually covers entire openwebnet protocol but understand that this is a big ask.

As I do have a Computer Science background (although I am not actively programming any more since years and my languages where C/C++/Assembler), I would possibly be interested in helping with the development side of things. @massi: If you have any guidance where to begin with (what to read/what to install), I am happy to give it a shot.

of course i voted the poll already the first day it was posted :sunglasses:

i am still on oh2.5 (raspi 4b, 4gb) but today installed oh3.0.0 (openhabian) for testing on a separate pi-zero and only added the openwebnet binding. as i am working not with discovery but only textual config i easily copied the *.things, *.items and sitemap parts with light and automation.
for me it seems everything (light and automation) is working well, nice!
