Issue in establishing connection with EdiMax plug and openhab2( item file)

rajeev2301 · May 14, 2019, 7:03pm

I am unable to establish connection between EDImax plug and Openhab.

Here are the set of steps I followed

Step 1:Downloaded the binding [org.openhab.binding.edimax_1.9.0.201607291201.jar] from a github site into /opt/openhab2/conf/addons folder.

Step 2: Verified bind

openhab> bundle:list | grep Edi

Step 3: created an item file

EdimaxSimple {edimax="801F02FA6BB5:4711"} Number EdimaxCurrent "Current [%.1f]" {edimax="801F02FA6BB5:4711:CURRENT"} Number EdimaxPower "Power [%.1f]" {edimax="801F02FA6BB5:4711:POWER"}

Step 4:
Check the status of item file in openhab console but it seems it’s not getting loaded -getting message “no item found”

openhab> items list Edi No item found for this pattern.
Step 5: created a site map file and also included the EDImax binding text in addon.cfg file.

****** addons.cfg file*** legacy = true binding =mqtt,mqtt1,edimax

Frame label= "Power Plugin" { Switch item= EdimaxSimple Text item= EdimaxCurrent icon="battery-50" Text item= EdimaxPower icon="battery-50" }

Please ref to the screen - there is not data coming out from EDIMax plug.

Attaching the output from log file.

Just FYI, I am able to control the plug from the app on my phone.

Also , wanted to check if I need a things file (e,g MAC address of EDIPlug )
As well establish the connect.

Appreciate your help.

This is in continuation to my previous query,
I have tried resolving the issue little differently and hence thought of sharing with this group.

Included thingsfile ( EDIMax.things)

Thing edimax:sp2101w:switch "Switch SP-2101W" [ ipAddress="192.168.188.26", username="admin", password="1234" ]

made changes to item file (EDIMax.items) as well.

Switch Light { channel="edimax:sp2101w:switch1:switch"}
Switch Light { channel="edimax:sp2101w:switch:switch",ON }
Number Current { channel="edimax:sp2101w:switch:current" }
Number Power { channel="edimax:sp2101w:switch:power" }

but unfortunately this is no change in the result - my sitemap file does pull any data from EDIMax plug. Yes, one more things I would like to inform that I have updated the firmware (2.08) through the app in my phone. My jar file is still the same and is located at /opt/openhab2/addons/org.openhab.binding.edimax_1.9.0.201607291201.jar

here are the entries from the log file. Looks like it is not able to retrieve item value.
