Eq3 eqiva Bluetooth radiator

Sure no problem:

./eq3.exp 00:1A:22:07:FD:03 temp <temp>

to set my temperature.
Via cron and some other triggers

./eq3.exp 00:1A:22:07:FD:03 json

to pull if something was changed manually on the thermostat

That’s all it. Works without any problems. Only downside is the polling, but this is something I guess you can’t circumvent?

Controlling the radiator via script works. What I need now is the fitting item that can be tagged for voice control via mycroft.ai. I am quite new to OH2 and dont know atm what exactly to do here.
Thanks

Hi guys,
thanks for you work so far.
Though I have troubles getting it to work:

  1. I can run bluetoothctl, pair, trust and sometimes connect. Sometimes my eqiva shows a timeout, sometimes a code. How can I influence this? I was able to get the information once, really fast after establishing the connection. It seems like eqiva does not store the connection permanent. (I never reach to a point to enter the 4-digit-code)
  2. where do you store the php file? my openhab seems to fail at executing the php code. I had to move it to my apache server.

Is there anybody, who can help me?
Thanks

Bluetooth is not necessarily the best technology for long range distance and through thick walls. So if your master (OH) and slave (thermostat) are very far apart, this might cause the timeouts. However if they are close and you can’t use the script, then something is wrong with your pairing.

My suggestions:

  • use the script and test it. If this works, then you can be sure that the conncetion is stable
  • after that make some executecommands to the scripts as described above to automate

After long time I am back again :smiley:
The problem before was that wifi was in the near of the bluetooth dongle and they interfered each other.

Now I do have the problem, that I can read the values via webpage and via bash and get sometimes an answer, but most of the time “connection failure”.
Openhab does not show any error messages in the openhab.log
How can I debug the connection between openhab2 and my webserver? jsonpath transformation is also installed
