this is my first post here and of course I start with a “problem”.
I wanted to start with OPENHAB and tried to integrate the Gembird PMS-LAN.
I thought that would be a easy one. But first it took me some time to understand how Openhab in general works.
Although I got the energenia item running it is not working as expected.
When I push the buttom in the webif the relays are turned on/off with a random delay.
Sometimes it switches immediately. Sometimes it takes between a few seconds up to some minutes and sometimes it doesn’t even switch at all.
A can assure that it is not related to the load of the system.
Here’s the question … Can anyone point me to the direction how to confine the problem. As I told I’m pretty new to Openhab.
what do you mean ?. Is the binding abandoned ? Because with my first test with fhem or an Android APP( not the one from gembird) It works. I’m no coder, but it seems to be a Problem from the binding and hopefully not openhab.
didn’t know that it’s “your” binding.
But why dies it work without delay when using other tools.
Yesterday I Sent one of the two for repair. Since then it seems to be OK. Maybe it’s just a coincidence or could it be that the problems occur when using More than one device. ?
The requests for switching channels are similar to curl calls that I found via google, and these are quite simple.
There could be an issue with polling the states of the sockets.
As I don’t use any other app for controlling, I could think of just requesting the state when the binding initializes and then forget about polling, or at least set it to a very low frequency.
Not really, I have a version ported, but it is not working really reliable, even the methods used are basically the same. I am thinking of optimizations or even try to move to the protocol used by the original app.
It will take some more time and I will post here when there is something to be tested.
