Innogy SmartHome beta1 release

oliver_kuhl · May 4, 2017, 6:52am

Hi,

I just released a beta1 of my new innogy SmartHome binding for openHAB 2. You can download it here.

Installation and basic configuration:

Put the .jar into the addons directory and restart OH2, if you had an earlier version of the binding installed before.
Open PaperUI. After a short time the innogy controller should be found in the Inbox, if it is in the same network as OH. Add it to your things. If autodiscovery does not work, you can add the controller manually (see below).
Go to Configuration -> Things and edit the controller. Add the authcode by following the steps as described there. Save.
The controller now loads the access tokens and goes online.
Go to the Inbox and start device discovery at the top right. Add devices.
Test your Things in the PaperUI Control Panel.

Manually adding the controller:
If autodiscovery does not work, you can add the controller manually:

Goto PaperUI Inbox, press the ‘+’ and select the innogy SmartHome binding.
Select ADD MANUALLY at the bottom and select the “innogy SmartHome Controller (SHC)” from the device list.
In the fields “Thing ID” and “Host” typically add the hostname of the controller, which is usually “SMARTHOME01” (or with a higher number at the end).
Add the authcode and follow further steps as written above.

Further hints

the binding works with the stable 2.0 release and current 2.1 snapshots
ISR2 (rollershutter) is untested, but implemented at a venture
if you experience any issues, please enable DEBUG log for the binding and send me the corresponding lines from your logfile

I hope to start a pull request soon to get the binding into the official OH2 release.

Enjoy!

Hi Oliver, my Rwe controller is finally updated (it was blocked in Holland).
Auto detection works and so does adding items.
How is ButtonPushCount supposed to work? It states NaN

oliver_kuhl · June 23, 2017, 5:58am

Hi,
innogy delivers the PushButtonCount for all devices with buttons. With every push the number will be increased, but it stays NaN until the first push. You could then use a rule to react if the count increases.

Marijn_Oudijk · June 28, 2017, 7:34pm

OK, I thought it should be something like that.
Somehow it was not counting at all, but now it is.

I did a clear-all (I messed up with old + new items etc) and everything works again.
Tip for other users: the controller is discovered quickly, but after entering the API code it takes a while before all the other things are discovered. After a couple of minutes they all popped up.

(Apologies to go offtopic, but I cannot find any option on this community to send a private message.)

Hello Oliver,

I read on your website (www.ollie.in) and several forum posts that you created bindings for OpenHab. I assume you have access to a Innogy API?

I would like to add my Innogy Smarthome to my HomeAssistent But I cannot find any info about it or the Innogy API.

Can you tell me how you got it?

Thanks you for your time,

PS. Your email-address on your website is not working?

oliver_kuhl · August 31, 2017, 3:25pm

Hi,

yes, I have access to the official innogy API. I got the contact via Kai Kreutzer. Now you like to add a kind of binding to HomeAssistent? I could ask the innogy guys, if they would add another developer to their program.

I’ll check my Emailconfiguration - thanks for the hint!

ccc · September 2, 2017, 9:15pm

Yes, I would like to add Innogy Smarthome as a component(I guess that is a binding in OpenHab) to HomeAssistent.
I would appreciate it if you can ask them if I can join and/or get access to the official Innogy API. I would be very happy if I can integrate Innogy Smarthome to HomeAssistent.

Hi Oliver, I’m reinstalling my raspberryPi. Is this version still the latest one?
It worked well on my old installation!

Cellfrost71 · November 19, 2017, 12:02pm

Hi Olli,

do you have any summary for updating the binding? I installed an run this version:
org.openhab.binding.innogysmarthome-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT-161229
and it works fine.

Thanks a lot for helping!

oliver_kuhl · November 19, 2017, 5:10pm

Hi,

I uploaded the latest version here:
http://www.ollie.in/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/org.openhab.binding.innogysmarthome-2.2.0-SNAPSHOT-171110.jar

I am still working on the ongoing pull request review and hope to finish it soon. Then the binding will be part of the official OH2 project.

kamilp · November 22, 2017, 7:20pm

Hi,
I installed the latest binding and I have some issues.
At first everything works fine. But after some time I see the following in the log and the I cannot control my Innogy system (everything else works fine):

2017-11-22 20:04:56.611 [INFO ] [marthome.handler.InnogyBridgeHandler] - Initializing innogy SmartHome client...

Any ideas what is the reason or how to find the problem?

Thanks for the awesome work!

Hi,

** " Remote access not allowed. Access is allowed only from the SHC device network.". **

I already saw other people having the same error which results in not being able to connect to the bridge anymore.

Unfortunately I did not find any solution … Everthing worked worked fine until this morning. I had to switch off the power of the bridge and after rebooting (IP stayed the same) I got this error.

The Innogy App on my smartphone still works as well as my Amazon Alexa …

Anybody got some hints what to do? I already tried to re-install the binding and auth-code but it didn’t help

I’m running OH2 2.1.0 with the lastest beta innogy binding…

Thanx, Stefan

I checked the logs again and I have an assumption. The problem occurs after DSL was automatically reconnected. I tested it by manually reconnecting my Internet connection and I could reproduce the problem. It occurs after there was a timeout of the websocket. This happens a few minutes after the internet connection was shortly interrupted and a new IP address was assigned to the DSL router.

DSL router log:

23.11.17 03:08:22 Internetverbindung wurde erfolgreich hergestellt. IP-Adresse: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, DNS-Server: yyy.yyy.yyy.1 und yyy.yyy.yyy.2, Gateway: yyy.yyy.yyy.194, Breitband-PoP: STGJ17

23.11.17 03:08:12 Die Internetverbindung wird kurz unterbrochen, um der Zwangstrennung durch den Anbieter zuvorzukommen.

Hi,

the Websocket reconnect is correct and not the problem. The auth fails, because the innogy backend somehow thinks that you are now in a different network. This seems to have something to do with the remote access feature of innogy and has to be paid.
However it should normally not be a problem, if the innogy bridge and OH are in the same network.

End of next week, we could talk to an innogy developer about it. Please come back to me then.

Best

Can’t create a Authorization code! is there a problem?

oliver_kuhl · November 28, 2017, 6:12am

What error do you get? Did you choose the right brand?

Try to go to the right URL as described here:

github.com

ollie-dev/openhab2-addons/blob/2263-innogysmarthome-binding/addons/binding/org.openhab.binding.innogysmarthome/README.md

# innogy SmartHome binding

The binding integrates the [innogy SmartHome](http://innogy.com/smarthome) System into openHAB.
It uses the official API as provided by innogy as cloud service.
As all status updates and commands have to go through the API, a permanent internet connection is required.
Currently there is no API for a direct communication with the innogy SmartHome Controller (SHC).

## Supported things

### Bridge

The innogy SmartHome Controller (SHC) is the bridge, that provides the central communication with the devices.
Without the SHC, you cannot communicate with the devices.

### Devices

The following table shows all supported and tested devices and their channels.
The channels are described in detail in the next chapter.

| Device | Description | Supported channels |

With the link out of the plugin it does not work! With the link from the wiki I got an Token!

But now I get the error message “OFFLINE - COMMUNICATION_ERROR Remote access not allowed. Access is allowed only from the SHC device network.” I am in the same network as the SHC, the SHC has the IP 91 and the open hub server 2

oliver_kuhl · December 7, 2017, 9:12pm

A couple of users have that issue. Seems like the innogy service does not recognize it’s in the same network. If you order the remote access service, the problem maybe gone. I have no solution, but we could ask the innogy engineers to do a deep analysis, if you like to collaborate. If yes, please send me via PM: 1) Your innogy username 2) the openhab log with the error including the timestamp.

kamilp · December 8, 2017, 9:50pm

Do you have any news from the innogy developers? Actually I have the same problem with the innogy smarthome app. Everytime my router gets a new IP address I have to first log off from the app and log in again before I can access to my smarthome.
