I just installed my new GT130 gateway, and trying to add it to my openHAB 2.5 that is installed on my Pi 3B+.
From my woking computer (not the PI), I downloaded the core-0.0.4-SinopeProtocol.zip
from github (https://github.com/chaton78/sinope-core/releases), extracted the .exe on my windows computer, opened a CMD windows, changed directory for where the .exe is located, and typed the following command
is the openhab host pingable from your window client ?
any network restriction between your windows client and openhab server ?
antivirus software ?
according to the binding documentation there is also java software that can be used to get the API key; try it from openhab host if it makes any difference
Thanks Wolfgang, those were great ideas! But unfortunately I wasn’t able to succeed.
So, Yes, It was pingable from my Windows client. But there are indeed antivirus and other firewall, so I decided to try directly on the Pi, but the thing is, I’m not 100% familiar with Pi architechtures and commands.
I have copied the core-0.0.3-shaded.jar file into /etc/openhab2/ directory (because I had access to it from my Win client where I had downloaded the file.
On the Pi, over SSH, I navigated to /etc/openhab2/ directory, and executed the following command:
means the jar file is not accessible. In case java would not be found it would say something like command not found.
What is the user that you are logged on with when you executed the command ?
What is the file permission of the jar file.
To check the jar file permissions you can execute:
ls -l /etc/openhab2/core-0.0.3-shaded.jar
I assume that you are not logged in as user root and the file permissions that the user has and the file provides do not match.
You may try to run
First thing, i’m an idiot. I have realized that the file I had downloaded is 0.0.4 and not 0.0.3 so, no wonder why it couldn’t find the file.
You are correct, I am not logged in as root but rather as openhabian (user)
I have tried with the proper file name, and now I get an error message that is similar to the one I was getting on my windows client, but instead of “unknown source”, I have atual textes and numbers (which I have no clue what it means!)
I am not an expert in interpreting Java error messages. Just can guess here.
The connection is being refused. That could be because the wrong port is used to connect to or it can have other reasons. As ca. is mentioned as part of the last two error messages it could be that this is related to missing certificate or invalid certificate.
You could try to do a network trace to check if this gives more hints.
Try to get information from the owner of the binding or from the company that provides the hardware.
which suggested to ping the server (I’m assuming they mean the sinope server) but I have looked at the code and couldn’t figure out what is the server…
Your GT130 gateway has the IP address 192.168.2.XXX ?
I don’t have that hardware and just ran the jar file.
It tries to connect to the ip address that is entered as value to the addr parameter on port 4550.
I get the same error message, of course because I don’t have a real GT gateway.
Can you ping your gateway. Of course it depends how that gateway works. It might not react on pings.
What do you get if you try to connect to the gateway on port 4550 using the telnet command ?
So, I got a bunc of error messages when installing telnet (about the locales…)

Not yet. But I didn’t have time to work on that a lot.
I think we’ll have to contact sinope (manufacturer), from comments I saw on their websites, I think that they changed the API or something like that, so we’ll have to ask them how to fix that
