[nanoleaf] Nanoleaf Aurora binding (just started development, collecting requirements)

stefan.hoehn · November 26, 2019, 10:14pm

Yes, that’s the link and the readme.
From an implementation perspective in terms of discovery, nothing really has changed.
However I wrote a lot around how you should do the discovery. Please follow exactly the way it is described here.

And no, you should not checkout the new branch (nor any new artifact) there as it is still under development and review - I only provided it as a reference to the Readme.

Discovery works well for both panel types with the official latest version as it has been tested by Martin and me. So if you encounter any issues, please explain in details how you did the discovery (please use autodiscovery) and the log files.

Did you pair the controller?
Do the logs say that pairing went well?
Is the controller online?
Can you power on / off the whole nanoleaf via OH with the controller items?
Did you run a second discovery?

cheers
Stefan

i cant find the nanoleaf binding !?
( openhabian 2.4 )

stefan.hoehn · November 27, 2019, 8:24pm

You mean in general or the one who supports the canvas touch support? The touch support version is still under review (@mraepple and I are currently finalizing it).

Cheers
Stefan

RiotMode · November 27, 2019, 8:33pm

yes, the general one, for the triangles. no touch
cant find it in PaperUI > Addons > Bindings

stefan.hoehn · November 27, 2019, 8:45pm

If you look at the post above at Jan 11 @mraepple announced it to be on 2.5. So unfortunately you need upgrade to 2.5 to have it.

Stefan

RiotMode · November 27, 2019, 9:35pm

thank you, danke stefan. I’ll wait for the stable version

stefan.hoehn · November 27, 2019, 9:46pm

If you don’t require touch support the current version is stable. I have been using it myself for many weeks before I started contributing to it to allow touch support. Even though it wasn’t designed specifically for the nanoleaf canvas, it works pretty well as there no specifics that wouldn’t let it run smoothly.

Hi Stefan,

sorry it took me some time to get back to it. So here’s what I did today.

I removed the old nanoleaf thing. Then I noticed there were still some items left. I couldn’t remove them from paper UI. So I tried from habmin:

2019-12-03 21:53:23.795 [INFO ] [rest.core.internal.item.ItemResource] - Received HTTP DELETE request at 'items/AuroraWohnzimmer_Brightness' for the unknown item 'AuroraWohnzimmer_Brightness'.

Weird … but I’d guess it’s not a problem. So I restarted the openhab service to get a clean start. The apprently “unknown item” was still present after the restart.

So here the log after the restart and accepting the Nanoleaf Controller from the Inbox with the default name.

After that the controller is shown as “online”. The things are created and the channels linked.

I can switch the panels on and off. I cannot change effects (nothing to choose). I can change the overall brightness/color for all panels at once. I can change the audio source for the rhythm (probably … not tested if it has an effect).

At some point while playing with the controls, I got this exception (not sure when exactly it happened though)

When I look at configuration -> things, I only have the one nanoleaf thing

Light Panels 52:44:31

Nanoleaf Light Panels

nanoleaf:lightpanels:62D0E39E8239

So I go to the Inbox - and it’s empty
I click the scan button on the top right corner and choose the nanoleaf binding … nothing happens. Nothing in the log.
I press the “search for things” button at the bottom of the inbox and choose nanoleaf again.

Now this is in the log:

2019-12-03 22:17:50.067 [DEBUG] [ery.NanoleafMDNSDiscoveryParticipant] - Nanoleaf Type: NL22

But when I go to the inbox, it’s still empty.
When I go to things … it’s still only the controller.

Not sure what I’m doing wrong … hope the logs help!

[edit]
tried a few more things

removed thing, restart service. add thing again from inbox, don’t play with it, so I didn’t get an exception. try scanning … same as above
removed thing, restarted service and brought nanoleaf into pairing mode. thing shows up in inbox, I press the ok button and it’s paired (as the log indicates, while adding it, the auth token box was still empty). sadly no changes
after the thing was authenticated, i brought the nanoleaf into pairing mode again before starting the second scan from the inbox. no change either.

stefan.hoehn · December 6, 2019, 11:43pm

Thanks for trying. I would say let’s wait around 2 weeks because then 2.5 is supposed to be released. With that we will most likely provide an overhauled version where I have added quite some more debug and trace information. As soon as you have installed that version I promise that we try to track that issue down - please then put the logging to trace as this will provide lots of details.

Thanks
Stefan

stefan.hoehn · February 15, 2020, 4:26pm

The new binding with version 2.5.1/.2 is now available. Please go ahead, and look up the new functions:

New Features

Stability
Touch support has been implemented for the Canvas
The Readme of the binding contains much more information regarding Discovery, Configuration, Hints and the new Canvas touch support.

Enjoy,

Stefan

Master79 · February 19, 2020, 7:12am

Hi Stefan. Can i download the new version as a jar file. I am still running 2.5.1.2 stable.
Because i have a lot of problems by sending color values to separat nanoleaf panels.
I use it as app notification.
Thanks and greetings,
Markus

stefan.hoehn · February 19, 2020, 8:08am

Hi Markus,

I am honestly not really familiar how to pinpoint to the exact version that was built by Travis related to the Pull Request I did. If anyone knows, please let me know.

Here is what I can tell you though

this is the pull request of my fix: https://github.com/openhab/openhab-addons/pull/7020
this is where you can download the latest snapshot build from the 19th: https://openhab.jfrog.io/openhab/webapp/#/builds/PR-openHAB2-Addons/17411/1582090503483/published%20/org.openhab.addons.bundles:org.openhab.binding.nanoleaf:2.5.2-SNAPSHOT

Hope that helps
Stefan

Master79 · February 19, 2020, 4:03pm

Hi Stefan.
Thanks for this. Can i use this snapshot in the addon folder? Or do you know when the next addon update for stable arrives?
Greetings,
Markus

stefan.hoehn · February 19, 2020, 4:15pm

Yes, it is compatible with my 2.5.x. The core will stay on 2.5.1 while there will be new minor versions for the addons around every month with 2.5.2 coming very soon.

Daniel_O · April 21, 2020, 9:19pm

Hi Stefan!

Thanks to some unexpected but not unappreciated spare time, I got to look into this again. And after updating my openHab Installation, the Auto Discovery of the individual panels finally is working for me! Thanks so much for all you work with this binding!

stefan.hoehn · April 22, 2020, 9:19am

That’s great to hear. Thanks for coming back to me, @Daniel_O

Daniel_O · April 26, 2020, 10:44am

Youre very welcome!

Question: is there any setting that would allow me to disable the transition? For example when I set a brightness from 0 to 100 it never happens instantly but gradually goes from 0 to 100 in about a second or two.

Second: any idea why it sometimes seems to “eat” a single panel? When I change more than 4 panels at once, sometimes (but not always) it “eats” the command for the 4th-5th panel, the rest is fine though. If I repeat the same sequence of commands again, it usually works then.

Btw - here is what I’m doing with it current weather and forecast, color-coded on my living room nanoleaf installation

stefan.hoehn · April 26, 2020, 11:13am

First of WOW. What a cool idea. I am in awe

re 1) As far as I know, you cannot get rid of the transition but you could ask in the nanolead forum.

re 2) I can only guess here and we would have to analyze it. It could be a timing in that there have been too many requests at once. I am not sure if the code is completely fine in terms of concurrency (many commands at the same time). If you really want to analyze that, I recommend you to switch the log level to TRACE and see which commands are triggered and which requests are sent to the panels. From my experience tracking down such an issue requires a scenario that is reproducable, i.e. you would have to program an “easy” scenerio that produces the same situation every time. As soon as we have that (and I have a some triangles, which I am waiting for to receive), then I am sure we could find the root cause.

cheers
Stefan

Daniel_O · April 26, 2020, 2:34pm

Thanks! I had this in my head for some time, but was too lazy to add all the single panels by looking them up through the API. Your binding made this a whole lot easier

re: transition - wow that developer Forum seems pretty dead. I might just contact nanoleaf support.

re: disappearing commands
I didn’t check everytime, but when it happened the first couple of times I checked the logs because I figured I made a mistake in the rule - and the commands were at least received from open hab.

I’ll try it with trace mode soon.

stefan.hoehn · April 26, 2020, 2:39pm

I asked a few questions in the forum and Ali, one of the supporters always answered.

It makes me happy that I made that possible. When it’s done, send me a photo.

Yeah, trace it and let’s have a look if we can figure it out.

Btw, where are you from?
