OpenHAB 2.0 xPL binding?

Hi! Newbie here - have gotten OH2 to work on a RPi, but I can’t find a xPL binding despite seeing it mentioned in many places. Any pointers?

xPL is a 1.x binding that has not yet been tested with openHAB 2.0 so it is not listed.

Download the Addons.jar from here or if you want the latest and greatest from here and follow the instructions here and/or here.

I’ve currently started a port of the xPL binding to OH2 - it may come in the next weeks.

Thanks!

Gaël,

Sounds great! Guess I should wait for your port then!

@glhopital

Any updates? :grin:

Sorry, I was on other subjects but I’ll be back !

Yes, progressing but not as quick as I would like. I’ve got a working version at home since two weeks, but not ready to be pushed to Git. I can provide you with a jar if you want.

We could be alpha testers… :slight_smile:

As long as supporting alpha testers doesn’t distract from progress on the port… :slight_smile:

Well, it takes a bit of time because I do not currently have much of it and I went further than with v1 of the binding. Describing things and channels depending upon various schema. So for now, ac.basic is ok for appliances and dimmers. x10.basic also, various oregon sensors (sensor.basic) and x10.security. Documentation will be tough :slight_smile:
I also added the possibility to start a xpL hub along with the X10 bridge.
Ok to send a jar to those willing to test and give feed-back. Send me an email to gael at lhopital dot org

Here is a sample things configuration

Hi Gaël,

Many thanks for your job.
I added your binding into /usr/share/openhab2/addons and restarted OH2. I found in PaperUI -> Inbox : a new binding.
The first thing to do is obviously to set up a bridge, but unfortunately I can’t validate this first step as I have a stack trace in openhablog :

2017-02-26 11:53:23.631 [WARN ] [eclipse.jetty.servlet.ServletHandler] - 
javax.servlet.ServletException: org.glassfish.jersey.server.ContainerException: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/openhab/binding/xpl/XplBindingConstants
...
2017-02-26 11:53:24.013 [WARN ] [org.eclipse.jetty.server.HttpChannel] - Could not send response error 500: javax.servlet.ServletException: javax.servlet.ServletException: org.glassfish.jersey.server.ContainerException: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/openhab/binding/xpl/XplBindingConstants

Any ideas ?
Cheers

Any news?

Hi, where can I found the last jar ?
Thanks

Send me an email to gael at lhopital dot org, I’ll send you the jar in return. Or you can fork my repository and compile it. BR

You can download the jar here : https://www.lhopital.org/nextcloud/s/G2lUKuhU4e4IZ6s

Hello, i’have one question to ask about the xPL Hub to install, which one is the best according to you?

Thanks

I usually used the C xPL Hub. But in this version, a hub is included in the bridge :
