DSC Alarm Binding Errors on OpenHAB2 Please help!

thehardway · February 6, 2017, 7:46pm

Hello openhab community

I’ve been tinkering with the DSC binding without much success but I know it will be awesome once I figure it out!
I’m getting errors (DSC Alarm bridge handler not available) when Openhab2 starts and I don’t have a clue how to resolve them. I can see zone open and close events in the log so at least I’m getting data from the alarm panel.
Any suggestions?

Does “MyBridgeName” from the items and sitemap files need to be replaced with the string of characters from the the Envisalink Thing in the PaperUI ? I tried that string (60c45902) and the ip address of the EVL(192_168_1_6) but still got the same errors.

Raspbian / Openhab2
apt-get install
envisalink 4 installed

In /var/log/openhab2/events.log I noticed this line:
2017-02-06 16:50:40.737 [hingStatusInfoChangedEvent] - ‘dscalarm:partition:60c45902:partition1’ changed from UNINITIALIZED to UNINITIALIZED (HANDLER_MISSING_ERROR)

Does it matter that [hingStatusInfoChangedEvent] has Thing spelled without the “T”
------------------------^^^

I’m grasping at straws here…

Hello @thehardway,

Does “MyBridgeName” from the items and sitemap files need to be replaced with the string of characters from the the Envisalink Thing in the PaperUI ? I tried that string (60c45902) and the ip address of the EVL(192_168_1_6) but still got the same errors.

Yes in the items file the “MyBridgeName” needs to be set to the name of the bridge as shown in the PaperUI. In this case it looks like you would use 60c45902. In the Sitemap file you only need to use the items name. Also, make sure no other device is connecting to your Envisalink. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the help Russell.
As far as I know the openhab server(192.168.1.3) is the only thing connecting to the envisalink 4(192.168.1.6). The only way I know to check this is via EVL4 generated webpage on the “network” tab. At the bottom it lists one Client, the Openhab server at 192.168.1.3

I’ve made the file changes you suggested and drastically reduced the contents of my Items file and deleted my DSC sitemap for simplicity.

In PaperUI I’ve removed all items except:
Envisalink (dscalarm:envisalink:60c45902)
Panel (dscalarm:panel:60c45902:panel)
Keypad (dscalarm:keypad:60c45902:keypad)
Zone 9 (dscalarm:zone:60c45902:zone9)

I feel like I’m missing something fundamental…maybe I missed something in the install?

Here’s the dscalarm.items and logs…

Looking through the log it appears that you are connecting. I see your ‘Thing’ status changed to ONLINE:

I just found this in karaf…Bridge=null
Is that how it should be ?

dscalarm:envisalink:60c45902 (Type=Bridge, Status=ONLINE, Label=EyezOn Envisalink, Bridge=null)

thehardway · February 7, 2017, 6:57pm

Does that mean that since the envisalink is connecting to the alarm panel I should just ignore all the errors ? Could it be a timing issue somehow?

rsstephens · February 7, 2017, 7:41pm

Yes, I think that is the case. I have seen similar messages on my system. The Things can’t go ONLINE until the bridge is connected and ONLINE itself.

thehardway · February 7, 2017, 8:24pm

OK, I’ll close my eyes and pretend those errors don’t exist.

I’ve got another question about the example dscalarm.sitemap file shown on the DSC Binding info page. Is that file suppose to actually work, after appropriate modification to match your individual zones? I’m seeing lots of references to nonexistant icon files and some syntax complaints in Designer.

Thanks for the help Russell. I’m hoping your binding can be the core of my automation project.

rsstephens · February 7, 2017, 8:37pm

That sitemap should basically work. There are references to icons that I downloaded or modified to suit my taste, and probably should be taken out of the sample. But overall the sitemap should work once you rename the items to match your own.

thehardway · February 7, 2017, 8:59pm

oh, and the last question for now… I saw one of your posts almost a year ago, I believe, talking about actions not being available / supportable on OH2. I’m mostly wanting to publish dsc events to mqtt but some sendDSCAlarmCommand functionality would be helpfull. Is that something that’s in the works of OH2 or do I need to go back to the 1.X addon version ?

rsstephens · February 7, 2017, 11:01pm

The action is not available at this time for version 2.0. I do have some ideas on how to implement similar functionality but haven’t delved into it yet.

Just to note in order to run the 1.x version action you also have to run the 1.x binding.
