Hello
I have been trying to integrate my Philips TV with HO2, and after all the configuration guides that i read , it seems that the configuration syntax doesnt match the format used bt OH2.
Links that i used:
http://docs.openhab.org/configuration/items.html
http://docs.openhab.org/configuration/things.html
http://docs.openhab.org/addons/bindings/jointspace1/readme.html
I was able to add the items in the item file, but was unable to match the items to a thing.
Does anyone ever tried to configure a jointSPACE bind in OH2?
Best regards,
Hi Ivan
I have the jointSpace binding working under OH2 satisfactory.
Did you install the jointSpace binding in the Paper UI under Addons -> Bindings?
These are my items, in jointspace.items
:
/*Philips TV & JointSpace Binding */
Switch MuteSwitch "Mute TV" <mute> (gJointspace) { jointspace="ON:key.Mute, OFF:key.Mute, POLL:volume.mute" }
Dimmer VolumeTV "Volume TV [%.1f]" <speaker> (gJointspace) { jointspace="*:volume" }
Number VolumeTV_Poll "Poll volume" <speaker> (gJointspace) { jointspace="POLL:volume" }
Switch StandbyTV "Switch TV off" <switch> (gJointspace) { jointspace="OFF:key.Standby", autoupdate="false" }
String CurrentSource "Source [%s]" <television> (gJointspace) { jointspace="POLL:source" }
Number SetSource "Watch:" <television> (gJointspace) { jointspace="1:source.tv, 2:source.hdmi1, 3:source.hdmi2, 4:source.hdmi3, 5:source.hdmiside" }
This is my ‘joinstpace.cfg’ file in the folder services:
################################# JointSpace #############################################
#
# Timeout - or 'refresh interval', in milliseconds, of the worker thread.
# Used for polling.
refreshinterval=5000
# Ip of the jointspace enabled device
ip = 192.168.5.35
# Port of the jointspace API. Defaults to 1925
jointspace:port = 1925
And some examples from my sitemap:
Switch item=SetSource mappings=["2"="TV", "3"="Kodi", "4"="PS3"]
Setpoint item=VolumeTV minValue=0 maxValue=60 step=5
Switch item=MuteSwitch
Switch item=StandbyTV mappings=["OFF"="TV Off"]
Did you see any error messages in your openhab.log file?
One last thing, you need to ‘activate’ the binding on your Philips TV by pressing certain keys: http://jointspace.sourceforge.net/download.html
Good luck!

Many thanks! @Maurits28 , I’m new to openhab and didn’t have the sitemap created.
Created the sitemap and added the items, everything works now!
Many thanks again
