Powermax binding

Marketplace? I can only see binding-powermax1 - 1.10.0 under binding section in PaperUI, running openHABian.

dan12345 · December 7, 2017, 10:15am

you have to install the misc marketplace addon

Incidentally - I’m running the old version, and it works absolutely perfectly. Any reason I should switch to the new one? Or would that just be asking for trouble?

Thanks!

Has anyone managed to get the Openhab 2 binding to work with a Powerlink2? There is no field in the Paper UI binding configuration page to enter put a username and password (which would be needed to log into the web server, no?). Openhab seems to be trying to log into the web server unsuccessfully using the motion reset delay parameter (3 in my case) as the user name and the PIN code as the password to sign into the web server. I created a user on the Powerlink2 with username and password matching these credentials, but it didn’t work. I have tried using ports 80 and 8080 and no port number, but nothing worked.

thanks!

You have to choose betwwen Powerlink2 or OH binding. The binding does not work with Powerlink2 but replace Powerlink2.

Hi,

I’m running OH2 2.1 with binding version 2.1.0.201707121519 with serial interface. all worked fine until I had to restart OH2, now I can send commands to the alarm but I am not getting any inputs from the alarm. I’ve tried multiple restarts but I can’t seem to get it to work again. turned the login on in DEBUG level, and I see in the log: “Powermax job…” but nothing else.

any ideas ?

I’ve found i need to unplug/plug in the Powermax USB connection from my Windows10 server when this happens. not sure why, but its the only thing ive found to fix the problem.

toobs1234 · January 8, 2018, 5:28pm

If I understand the Binding documentation correctly, I don’t think this is the case. You have a choice of a serial connection or a TCP connection via the Powerlink2. However, the documentation does say that the TCP connection is implemented, but not tested.

Lolodomo · January 8, 2018, 9:26pm

The TCP connection was tested by one of you and is working. This was corrected in the last version of the documentation.
The IP connection is not to connect to the Powerlink2.

toobs1234 · January 10, 2018, 10:31pm

Ahhh, so the TCP connection is over the serial bus, not via Powerlink2. I don’t know why I made the link between TCP and Powerlink2…wasted a day trying to get it to work:

Hi everyone.
More than 1 week I’m trying to connect my PM30 to the open hab. I have power max binding version 2.2.0.201709151724 and panel connected via PM PRO DUAL RS 232 <=> UC-232A USB.
If I lintening on this port via minicom - I can see data on 38400 (need to enter/exit user settings for show more data).
But if I start openhab, configuring Thing as “Serial connection to the alarm system” I have only this in openhab log.

Thats all. Don't know how to debug it and whats wrong.
P.S. I have PM30 with 18.415 FW version, maybe need different?

Lolodomo · March 2, 2018, 4:55pm

Apparemtly you receive no data on your serial connection.

jnt2007 · March 2, 2018, 4:58pm

But why I receive data using minicom?

I thing its baudrate issue. Different firmware versions of panel uses different baudrate config.
After checking with 17.133 virsion of panel - I can see communication messages in a binding log.

Could you please add baudrate option into binding setting?

Lolodomo · March 5, 2018, 5:57pm

Ecpected baud rate is 9600.
Are you really sure that your panel is using another one ?!

Lolodomo · March 5, 2018, 6:11pm

Please check if you have an option in your panel to select the baud rate.

This manual only for very old PowerMax panels.

Starting from ver. 18.XXX of Power Master panels baudrate changed to 38400 (via RS232 and Plink port)

Lolodomo · March 13, 2018, 6:58am

Can you please point where you find this information on the web ?
Before I spend time adding a new setting, I can compile for you a test version with 38400 hardcoded for baudrate.

Hi, I migrated OH to a RPI and now have issues with the powermax binding ( Snapshot 2.2.0 ).

Everything is working as expected, Zone Triggering is updating items etc, but after a period of time it stops updating. I can still arm and disarm the system via OH but the Powermax is not updating OH Items.

Debugging shows this…

Using Powerlink Mode via RS232.
Can anyone help with this RESTORE message with no response from Panel.?
