If any current users of the Davis weather binding would like to try out a new version enabling IP communication, please try this jar from this PR.
The author has decided not to complete the changes, but if someone can confirm it’s working, we can push the PR to completion…
Thanks!
Having Davis Vantage Pro2 Plus with Wireless Weather Envoy (IP).
Tried to download and install this jar binding file.
Have OpenHAB 2.4 snapshot installed on RPi.
Stopped OH
Copied provided jar file into following folder /usr/share/openhab2/addons
changed permissions to openhab:openhab
Started OH
Can you correct if I missing something in order to make this binding working and I could verify it with my weather station?
That sounds like it should work, assuming you set up the config for the binding.
Yep, I’ve configured according this manual Davis Binding
My configuration file under services/davis.cfg is:
hostName=192.168.1.7
readResponseWaitTime=1000
refresh=10000
Karaf shows that Davis binding is active:
223 x Active x 80 x 1.12.0.201805280013 x openHAB Davis Binding
OH2 is also not showing any errors when binding is started:
[DEBUG] [org.openhab.binding.davis ] - BundleEvent STARTING - org.openhab.binding.davis
[DEBUG] [inding.davis.internal.DavisActivator] - Davis binding has been started.

From Davis binding log that’s it, no more log data, seems that it is not trying to connect to configured Davis host, since there should be another log entry when opening port (serial or IP) in case of success or failure.
I’am currently running OH 2.4.0-SNAPSHOT Build #1403 version.
Any ideas what else I could try?

If the updated binding were properly installed, you should see this message in the log:
ProperlyConfigured with hostName [hostname] with readResponseWaitTime on
No, I have not seen this message in a log files. The log I’ve attached previously is all I see currently.
For Davis binding I’ve set the TRACE log level through karaf console
log:set TRACE org.openhab.binding.davis
I try to install the binding but i received this error message:
2019-01-05 18:25:08.276 [ERROR] [org.openhab.binding.davis ] - [org.openhab.binding.davis(279)] The deactivate method has thrown an exception

I’m currently trying to connect a Davis Weather Envoy to my openhab2.4 system. This is a totally fresh install.
I installed your jar in the following way:
Then I ran into various problems which I found in the logs:
Unresolved requirement: Import-Package: gnu.io
Unresolved requirement: Import-Package: org.openhab.core.binding
Now the binding seems to start successfully since there are no errors anymore.
I created a services/davis.cfg
hostName=192.168.111.77
readResponseWaitTime=1000
refresh=10000
An item file in items/davis.items with the exact content as in the bottom example of https://www.openhab.org/addons/bindings/davis1/
And a sitemap in sitemaps/test.sitemap with a Text element for each of the items of above.
When restarting openhab, the logs look like this (after everything has stopped):

Do you have any idea on how to solve this?
Thanks & best regards

Solve what? You just said the binding is starting successfully.
And your log snippet doesn’t show any problems.
Sorry!
It’s not working for me, I can’t get any values from the davis weather envoy.
Check the list of running bundles to verify the old davis binding is not running and the new one is.
You might also need to clear the cache, as your output seems to show no davis settings being found.
I think there are no davis settings being found because the config seems to be null @ line 163 in DavisBinding.java. Where should i place the davis.cfg file exactly? /etc/openhab2/services or somewhere else?
As the docs point out, it should be $OPENHAB_CONF/services/.
In windows this is runtime/conf/services/. No clue where it lands in other platforms.
Well I placed the config in /etc/openhab2/services/davis.cfg and it also seems to be loaded, because karaf console gives me the following output when I enter config:list:
Pid: org.openhab.davis
BundleLocation: file:/usr/share/openhab2/addons/org.openhab.binding.davis-1.12.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
Properties:
hostName = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
readResponseWaitTime = 1000
service.pid = org.openhab.davis
But it’s still not working as intended, I don’t get the message in the logs:
ProperlyConfigured with hostName [hostname] with readResponseWaitTime on
I also tried placing a config file with both, a port and Hostname, in the same directory and it also got loaded. But there is a thing I don’t understand which needs some sourcecode:
if (config != null) {
// to override the default refresh interval one has to add a
// parameter to openhab.cfg like <bindingName>:refresh=<intervalInMs>
String refreshIntervalString = (String) config.get("refresh");
if (StringUtils.isNotBlank(refreshIntervalString)) {
refreshInterval = Long.parseLong(refreshIntervalString);
}
String newPort = (String) config.get("port"); //$NON-NLS-1$
String newHostName = (String) config.get("hostName"); //$NON-NLS-1$
if (StringUtils.isBlank(newPort) && StringUtils.isBlank(newHostName)) {
logger.error("neither port neither hostname configured, no communication possible");
setProperlyConfigured(false);
} else {
if (StringUtils.isNotBlank(newPort) && StringUtils.isNotBlank(newHostName)) {
logger.warn(
"both properties port and hostname configured, only one should be set according communication type serial (port) or IP (hostname)");
}
This is straight out of the DavisBinding.java. As you can see in the last ‘else’ block:
if the newPort is not blank and the hostName is also not blank - if both are provided - the warning should be logged. But it’s not getting logged!
Do you have any idea how I can check if the config is not null at the first if?
In current code, this is not possible. If I can steal a few minutes, I’ll make a version that spits out a debug message if the config is null.
I tried your version and then the previous one because now it just works.
I have no idea why it suddenly works and I think it has to do with my network because I just moved the setup to a new place.
Glad to hear it.
I’ll look into getting this merged.
