Nikobus v2

crnjan · December 3, 2020, 8:55pm

As per conversations in this thread, the “naive” v1 binding based rollershutter implementation is not satisfactory therefore decided to spice it up a bit. Added an optional configuration parameter to rollershutter module’s channels (outputs) describing how much time does it take for a rollershutter to completely open (or close)

Binding uses this information to interpolate rollershutter’s position, please note the animating rollershutter (left of “Window” text):

ezgif-6-ae1d7e3d401d

On startup binding will assume completely open rollershutters but opening/closing a rollershutter once should bring it back in sync. Binding also turns off the module’s output after 5s, meaning if one sets

duration = 30s

binding will automatically switch Nikobus rollershutter module’s output to OFF after

30s + 5s = 35s

This can be changed in settings.

EDIT2: OH3 RC already contains all described features.
EDIT3: Stop-time was changed from 150% to a configurable amount of time, if not specified rollershutter’s output will be turned OFF after 5s. Updated post to reflect this info.

Sounds Greet !!!

Is anyone using the binding with a pc-logic in OH3? I can’t seem to connect to the bus…

crnjan · December 19, 2020, 9:39pm

I’m using OH3 with Nikobus and working without a problem so far … can you share more details? Maybe which version of the binding are you using and you configuration? Thx!

Hi

Sorry for late reply, but I messed up my install (upgrading from OH25 to 3) and decided to try again and see where that went. Nowhere apparently

On my OH2.3 it works flawless, on my production raspberry pi. It’s a prolific 2303, works also with the nikobus software. It is a PC Logic.

Config oh2:

################################ Nikobus Binding ######################################

Serial Port connected to pc-link. Valid values are e.g. COM1 for Windows and /dev/ttyS0 or

/dev/ttyUSB0 for Linux

serial.port=/dev/ttyUSB0

Directory path where the command cache file should be created.

Optional. Defaults to the users’ home directory.

#cache.location=

Perform a module status query every x seconds (optional, defaults to 600 (10 minutes)).

refresh=60

On OH3 final it doesn’t work.

Config: binding 3.0.0
Openhabian 1.6.2
Rpi 3B+ (works perfect with zwave dongle and prolific serial-to-usb, so power seems not an issue)
user openhab added to dialout
Openhabian fixed permissions

Help is mucho appreciado!

I’m guessing a bit here, but it seems you were using v1 binding in your OH 2.3 based on your post above.

Nevertheless, if it worked with v1 binding, it should work with v2 too. Some comments on (a bit cryptic) info shared above:

21:25:40.975 [INFO ] [hab.event.ThingStatusInfoChangedEvent] - Thing ‘nikobus:pc-link:ead36cb534’ changed from INITIALIZING to UNKNOWN

your bridge seems to be configured fine, UNKNOWN probably just means there is no channel/item attached to it so bridge will not connect, adding a properly configured module/button will fix this.

UID: nikobus:switch-module:ead36cb534:19110213bc
label: Switch Module 1
thingTypeUID: nikobus:switch-module
configuration:
address: B74F-2
bridgeUID: nikobus:pc-link:ead36cb534

Address does not look right, can you double check? Probably just B74F. Can you share your v1 config? Same address should be used as in v1.

-> Thing ‘nikobus:push-button:ead36cb534:eb7af8e5ca’ changed from UNKNOWN to OFFLINE (CONFIGURATION_ERROR): UID must have at least 3 segments.

Button’s configuration is also not correct - impactedModules is in wrong format, as error states, something like this should be used:

impactedModules: switch-module:19110213bc:2

Would suggest to start with a single switch module and when connection is established, build from there… Also, please check the docs since some things changed a bit from v1 -> v2 (as the impactedModules format for example).

EDIT: Regarding buttons - might be easier to use the new discovery feature (described a couple o posts above) to setup them … I have ~100 buttons and using discovery feature I finally added/mapped all (which was a bit painfull before)

Please let me know how it goes …

Am checking right now with the modules. I added an output and tadaaa, works. All came online!
from time to time the concept of channels / things / items goes wrong in my head

Hi Crnjan,

I have a similar setup with a bridge, a dimmer module and 2 switch modules. The bridge is online, but the switch modules and dimmer module go offline. I tried adding a channel to a specific output used in Nikobus.

Status:

OFFLINE

COMMUNICATION_ERROR

Waiting for response timed-out.

Any advise?

thx,

Mattias

crnjan · December 27, 2020, 8:48am

Hi!

Seems as there is no ACK received from your modules - did you ever had a successful setup, either using v1 or v2 binding? How did you get module’s addresses? Can you set log level to DEBUG:

log:set DEBUG org.openhab.binding.nikobus

and share the logs?

The address of the switch module seems to be correct

Cannot 100% see what address you have set for your module from above log, but you should have the address parameter set to 5AC4 imho (address from Nikobus software for module is not 1:1 due keeping backward compatibility with the v1 binding and same format is used in v2 too).

Mattias_Denys · December 27, 2020, 10:38am

Thx. It now works (feel kind of stupid to have missed this)

crnjan · December 27, 2020, 6:29pm

Great news! This address thing is actually very confusing - v1 binding (and consequently v2 since it follows same format) vs. Nikobus software. Probably should be better explained in readme/documentation … Will try to add something in this direction, but honestly I’m not the best at writing docs … so fell free to jump in …

How did it go? Did you try out the new push-button discovery and rolleshutter feature?

pascal · December 28, 2020, 10:41am

Can we define the nikobus:trigger-button channel (LONG & SHORT PRESSED) in the textbased files instead of using the new OH3 UI?

crnjan · December 28, 2020, 11:18am

Should be, probably using something like this.

pascal · December 28, 2020, 12:15pm

I see. But how to differentiate filter trigger from button trigger?
Would someone be able to share an example?

pascal · December 28, 2020, 12:35pm

This seems to work;

Thing push-button N10DA86 "Niko btn8_Keuken_2c" [ address = "10DA86", impactedModules = "switch-module:s2:1" ]{
        Channels:
                Type trigger-button : mybutton [
                        threshold=800
                ]
