HomeKit: support for additional accessory types

Jonas88 · February 12, 2018, 2:27pm

I think that is not possible, extric99.
I’d like to know if there are already implemented more item things than the roller shutter and if yes, how to tag them.

Thank you!

maihacke · February 21, 2018, 10:21pm

Is it inverted only in homekit or even in openhab?

maihacke · February 21, 2018, 10:23pm

Stopping is not implemented. I’m wondering if homekit does support it at all. looking at the given UI in iOS there is no stop button.

beowulfe · February 22, 2018, 1:54am

There is a HoldPosition characteristic in the protocol, but when I looked in iOS 10 it wasn’t available in the Home app. If someone has an app that’s capable of using it that I can test with, I’d be happy to add it.

I know this is off the topic of roller shutters, but can we add more sensors? (i.e. contact, motion, smoke detector) This would be really great!

Jonas88 · February 22, 2018, 7:04pm

i was wondering that as well.

Jonas88 · February 22, 2018, 7:04pm

just in homekit.
i used the other version not from mailhacke so it worked the way i want it to work

Hi all

do i need the version from mailhacke or does it work with the actual version that i can install in PaperUI?

Thx

Jonas88 · March 10, 2018, 8:37am

i don’t know but why don’t you just try it with the version provided in paperUI?

itoast · March 11, 2018, 5:52pm

I installed the jar. file from @maihacke . Now i can see the rollershutter in the homekit app.
But the problem is the problem is, the shutters do not work!
Under the Shutter icon the hole time stands “update/aktualisieren”
Someone know why?
This is the .item file :
Rollershutter Rollo_kueche “Rollo Küche” [ “Blinds” ] {knx=“1/3/3”}

But “Switchable” it works!

ccaramel · March 15, 2018, 11:28pm

Maybe the homekit objet need the Knx roller shutter position to work?

itoast · March 16, 2018, 5:17am

And how i give them the position?

Hello is it possible to use the socket symbol in Homekit?

cbaxter · March 23, 2018, 2:01pm

I have installed this and it works on my door locks and garage doors using the SWITCHABLE tag, but I have to use the ON and OFF commands instead of OPEN/CLOSE and LOCK/UNLOCK. Is there a way to add an alias to the ON/OFF to where it also recognizes OPEN/CLOSE and LOCK/UNLOCK? There is a discussion in the Openhab community about standardized nomenclature for Homekit that has been going on for a year but doesn’t seem to be making much progress.

Hello,

i have just updated the addon but I got the following erros in the log

2018-04-17 21:52:50.112 [ERROR] [core.karaf.internal.FeatureInstaller] - Failed installing 'openhab-action-astro, openhab-misc-myopenhab, openhab-voice-freetts': Error restarting bundles:

And a freuquent “update/aktualisieren” in my home app. It was working proper for lights before the update of the addon.

How I did my update:

Login in PaperUi and deinstalled homekit
Moved to WinSCP and copied the homekit snapshopt 2.2 to addon Folder

/usr/share/openhab2/addons

Added “Blinds” to my shutter config in .item file like this

Rollershutter Shutter_EG_WC_Front  "Gaeste WC Vorne"  (EG_WC, Shutters)   [ "Blinds" ] {knx="1/2/36, 1/2/37"}

Restart OH2

Dose some has a hint for me?

It seems I have done something wrong with the de-installaion in the first step. In PaperUi I frequently now get the follwing message “extension homekit integration uninstalled”.

How can I clean that up again now?

MisterBop · April 17, 2018, 8:32pm

by the way I used the file based configuration. I have now shut down OH2, deleted "homekit in the misc part of the addon.conf and restarted.

No Change. Same Problem. Only positive Thing I have no Errors anymore in the obenhab.log

Any Idea?

MisterBop · April 17, 2018, 9:01pm

Puh. I am back where I have been started.

Question:

How do I install the Snapshot if I use file based configuration?

Deinstall HomeKit via PaperUI + Stop OH2 via putty
Update addon.config and remove “HomeKit”
Start OH2 via putty
Stop OH2 again
Add “HomeKit” in addon.conf
Copy via WinSCP snapshot to Addon Folder
Start OH2

Correct?

Problem now…PaperUi is ok. HomeKit apears installed. Config in UI is still available for HomeKit, but I can not Pair… Grr.

If I whant to clear Pairing in Putty I got the following message:


              Welcome to            __  _____    ____  _

_And following error in openhab.log

MisterBop · April 17, 2018, 10:47pm

So now I amrealy again on the starting Point. Homekit works again without any Errors.

Question:

Which steps do I Need to go to install the SnapShot Addon (I use text configuration as I was comming form OH1)

De-Install homekit via File (addon.conf)
Restart OH2
Copy addon to Folder
Change back addon file
Restart?

Hopefuly some replays before I try again.
