I’m confused about the jar file: @fatman42285 is a public download of the jar available? Ideally a GitHub repository? What about this one? You can always upload new bindings to the Eclipse IoT Marketplace
Did you consider adding your binding as an official openHAB binding?
tried to connect my VR200 using the modified binding described above. Auto discovery does not work. To add the thing manually is possible but then after setting the robot supplier to Vorwerk the thing configuration screen (PaperUI, see below) requires 2 more values instead of none as described above before the thing can be added:
Are serial and secret required or not? Every input leads to a response that the adress is wrong?
Also recognized that the http:// adress for the Vorwerk cloud server which is implemented in the binding is different to the one i see if i activate the Vorwerk skill in Amazon Alexa. There it is beehive.ksecosys.com instead of nucleo.ksecosys.com/...as within the binding. Is this model/firmware dependent or might i have an old version of the binding? Use openHAB2.4.0, build #1346 under Windows10.
Does this binding actually work out for anybody? Appreciate every hint.
Thanks for this setup. It’s working perfect for me. I’ve gont one question. How can i implement all states to the openhab panel? do i need a special widget?
I really do not know it if it will work with 2.4. I am still using 2.3 without a problem. But when I have more time and @fatman42285 is not interested anymore in updating the app for Vorwerk, i will try to update the neato app, if nobody else is doing it .
Thank you for your help with this! Should we add the changes to the original binding and bring them to the main repo? Because the the binding is under active maintainance, that should fix issues longterm… (if not neato/vorwerk will change something that the api is not comaptible any more)
Yeah you are right. Maybe we send them the vorwerk file that they officially support it in the future.
I do not think that they have to change too much to support it. If you know how to contact them could you do it?
@Giga522 you may take a look at my implementation here: https://github.com/Pavion/openhab2-addons/releases/tag/2.4.0.NEATO.1 (diff)
This is a fork of the current Neato Binding with added vendor option. Unlike the old version (origin here afaik), now the account Thing (with vendor supplied) has to be added first. Available vacuum cleaners should then be discovered automatically. Cleaner Thing UID should stay the same, allowing for old Items to be kept.
I’m running a long time test now, keep me posted if you’re willing to test (no guarantees though )
