[SOLVED] OpenHAB 2.5.0-M1 breaks Hue remote dimmer channel events

[njp]

@Benjamin_Chadwick

I have a rules file that monitors multiple Hue dimmer switches. It was working fine under 2.4.0. Updating OpenHAB2 to version 2.5.0-M1 seems to break the Hue dimmer_switch_event channel as I can’t see any activity on it. I also didn’t notice anything in the changelog that would suggest any syntax has changed for rules files. Downgrading back to 2.4.0 made the problem go away immediately…

This might not be specific to the Hue. Anyone else seeing something similar?

I’m having the exact same problem

[BlackEternity (Alex)]

Chiming in on this one.
Just received my first Hue Dimmer and I hoped to add them through the Zigbee-Binding because I want to skip the HUE Hub.
In the Thing-Config in PaperUI I can see this:

In the logfiles I can clearly see the events triggering but unfortunately I have no clue how to interact with them.

2019-03-08 20:51:17.811 [vent.ChannelTriggeredEvent] - zigbee:philips_rwl021:05000E5F:001788010408e12d:dimDown triggered SHORT_PRESSED

Does anyone have an idea?

[njp]

Hue Event channel still broken,will there be any fix for this anytime soon?

[cweitkamp (Christoph Weitkamp)]

Hi @njp,

Can you specify your issue with the events? What is different than before? Thanks.

[njp]

Hi,
Same problem as Ben stated in the first msg, but it seems to be intermittent, pressing a dimmer switch button doesn’t always trigger an event on the event channel.

[noppes123 (Ron)]

Not much help , but I have experienced missing events as well: Missing button event triggers from Philips/Signify Hue Dimmer Switch.
My ‘solution’ was to connect the hue devices to a ZigBee hub instead of the Hue Bridge…

[Rivi (Thomas Rivinius)]

Is there any news on that? I just upgraded the binding to 2.5.0.201904071013, though the system itself is 2.4.0 Release Build. I find that channel triggers are unreliable. I can see the system reacting, e.g. on the events.log with

2019-09-10 18:29:29.050 [me.event.ThingUpdatedEvent] - Thing 'hue:0830:1:Hue_TP_02' has been updated.

and in the openhab.log with debug level there is:

2019-09-10 18:29:28.983 [DEBUG] [ue.internal.handler.HueBridgeHandler] - Status update for Hue sensor '60' detected: {buttonevent=18.0, lastupdated=2019-09-10T21:29:27}

but the trigger channel works inconsistently, i.e. sometimes I do get

2019-09-10   14:28:08.984 [vent.ChannelTriggeredEvent] - hue:0830:1:Hue_TP_02:tap_switch_event triggered 34.0

and sometimes not, even if the ThingUpdatedEvent is always there. I’ve played around with sensorPollingInterval from 50 to 500, does not seem to make a difference.

[jk92 (Jelle)]

Any update on this? I’m having the same issue after upgrading to ‘binding-hue-2.5.0.SNAPSHOT’

Thanks!

[Celaeno1 (Alex)]

I’ve udated from snapshot 1486 to snapshot 1728 today.

SAME here.

@cweitkamp Do you know about this? I have it with Hue Tap Switch and Hue Dimmer Switch.

@cweitkamp

I’ve played a little bit around. Here are my findings:

In PaperUI → System → Configuration there were missing:

Region
Language
TimeZone

I’ve set it to Germany,German, Europe/Berlin now.

Event channel of Tap Switch and Hue Dimmer Switch are running, BUT:

Before my update to Snapshot 1728 EVERY press appeared, now only SOMETIMES appearing.

Example: tap_switch_event: When I press button 1 on Tap Switch event 34.0 should be triggered. Somtimes it’s triggered, somtimes not (depending on the former event) When I press button 1 again, nothing happens. Then I have to press button 3 and event 17.0 is now triggered. When I press button button 3 again, nothing happens, when I press button 1, then event 34.0 is triggered.

EDIT: I’ve tested again. The problem is only now and then. Sometimes event is triggerd and sometimes not.

[SOLVED] Handle Philips Hue dimmer switch events?

After upgrading openhab to 2.5.0.M1 this does not always work

Missing button event triggers from Philips/Signify Hue Dimmer Switch

While migrating Hue Dimmer Switch and Hue Tap rules from the Hue bridge to OH 2.5.0.M1, I noticed that the binding seems to be missing button events. For instance, many times when short pressing and releasing button 1 of the Dimmer Switch, only the initial pressed (sometimes) or short released (mostly) is triggered, and sometimes neither. To rule out the bridge itself or interference on the ZigBee mesh network that is causing this, I added a Dimmer Switch Rule (see below) to the bridge that tri…

@cweitkamp

I’ve downgraded “Hue Binding” to this version (from 01.01.2019, a test version from you, see here!). Now it’s running fine again.

EDIT: I have to revert my statement. It only worked reliably initially. Now after one day I have the same behavior as before with snapshot 1728.

Same issue here - reverting back to 2.4 fixed it.

The issue has been solved, see here.

It’s in the latest Snapshots and 2.5.0 Release (stable).

Now I found some time to test it:

I have the latest 2.5.0-SNAPSHOT = 2.5.0.201912151141 (=two days after PR was merged)

Everything seems to be running! Many thanks again to @cweitkamp Well done

[cweitkamp (Christoph Weitkamp)]

Thanks for confirmation. I am glad we found a solution for it.

[Benjamin_Chadwick (Ben Chadwick)]

I can confirm that the problem is fixed now. There seems to be a longer lag between hitting a button and seeing the result, though, than in 2.4.0. I could be imagining that (and I haven’t taken the time to downgrade again yet), so I’m wondering if anyone else is seeing the same thing or maybe I just need to soup up my system. I’m running on a Raspberry Pi 3 B, and I worry it may not have the fortitude to handle Openhab (which is taking nearly a minute to launch at this point)…

I also have 5 dimmers and about 24 different devices linked together (mostly light bulbs) so maybe the unresponsiveness is just from all the polling…

[Benjamin_Chadwick (Ben Chadwick)]

After some experimentation I can confirm the responsiveness of 2.4.0 for these dimmers is much greater than in 2.5.0. (I have not looked into the code for an explanation.) For now I’m sticking with the older release…

[regnets (Andreas)]

From my point of view 2.5 seems not as responsiveness as 2.4. I also got the feeling, that sometimes the button presses aren’t working however this could be also related to the traffic in the 2.4 Ghz band and the red led on the dimmer switches themselves.

[msa (Michael)]

Hi, I can confirm that 2.4.0 binding is working much more responsive than 2.5.5.
I’m using the newest docker image.

I have connected 3 Hue Dimmer Switches. I’m missing approx 80% of the events.
I downgraded to 2.4.0. There it works without issues.

I get a better response behavior when I’m only connecting 1 Hue Dimmer Switch.
Is there a way how to use the 2.4.0 binding in 2.5.5?
