In case of the author of the powermax binding is reading, just to say it’s fantastic. Took me a while to work out symlinks, but now just working perfectly. Hope it gets included in the official bundle at some point… Thank you!

[image] dan12345: Hopefully it will get updated for OH2 compatibility; if not then I guess I’ll be staying with OH1! Just test the 1.x Powermax binding on openHAB 2 - it should work right away. So no need to stick with openHAB 1, only because you are using bindings from it!

Kai, doesn’t the author of the binding say above there’s an incompatibility with OH2?

@dan12345 , You are right, I should have read the whole thread more carefully. @Lolodomo If you think your code is ok and it it works well on openHAB 1, feel free to create an issue at openHAB 2 describing the problem. It can very well be that there is a bug in the compatibility layer, which I would…

Initial tests has shown that the binding connects, but does not communicate very well since it complains about the CRC checksum calculations. First I had a RPi with ser2net in between, and then I tried to directly connect the serial cable to the OH-server (via a USB-to-RS232 adapter). Still trying …

Ah, I got it started! Previously when I ran my code I was able to have the PowerLink2 module attached as well - but now I had to remove it in order to get the messages to be handled correctly. I made a lot of trial and errors, so I am not 100% sure that this actually was the succeeding factor, but s…

Hi Kai. I already tried to start the discussion about this issue by opening 2 topics: [image] OH2: bindingChanged called before item creation 1.x Compatibility Hello This discussion is the follow of this one: Redirecting to Google Groups As a short summary, …

@scurb : yes, you are right, you cannot have the Powerlink2 activated at the same time. Let me know what are your remaining problems. And sorry for the delay but I have to find time to publish my current version. It would be easy to attach the jar file but you absolutely need all the explanations. …

Yep, I know I have read this before, but I was still able to use a serial connection from my java code. Though - I did not manage to get the crc routine implemented correctly - now I know why :wink: I’m running in test mode and actually have no other things to say than your binding seems to work re…

[image] Lolodomo: I already tried to start the discussion about this issue by opening 2 topics Ok, great - sorry that they missed to get my attention. I will follow up on them now.

@Lolodomo , I have a question regarding how the alarm triggering is noticed. Right now, I have an item with name “Powermax_partition_alarm” which has the item bound to {powermax=“partition_alarm”}. When I have armed my house and left the building then I must open the door (which has a entry delay con…

Hi Kai.

I already tried to start the discussion about this issue by opening 2 topics:

But I got no answer !

I thought about a workaround to this bug, consisting in calling ItemRegistry.getItem to know if an item already exists before pushing an update for it. I will delay the update if the item does not yet exist..
