I usually have logging set to INFO - I switched onto DEBUG to see what was happening when the binding stopped responding, but I have nothing in the logs showing the initial disconnection.
Since I increased the logging level it hasnât happened again, just to be annoying. But many thanks for putting the change through - hopefully if/when it happens again then Iâll have more data.
Hi. Sorry to add another question to this already very long thread. I hope you might be able to give me a quick answer as I am a bit stumped. I have been using powermax connected to vera edge successfully for a couple of years. Now I am migrating to raspberry pi openhabian and next task was to try to get my Powermax Express panel connected directly. I have the panel connected using a serial to usb adaptor (that is same hardware as for vera) to one of the usb sockets on the rpi. I started with the openhab2 binding but could not see the USB port in the thing drop down. So now I have reverted to the the old binding and have the following config:
[10:37:44] openhabian@openHABianPi:/dev$ lsusb
Bus 001 Device 006: ID 067b:2303 Prolific Technology, Inc. PL2303 Serial Port
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0424:7800 Standard Microsystems Corp.
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0424:2514 Standard Microsystems Corp. USB 2.0 Hub
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0424:2514 Standard Microsystems Corp. USB 2.0 Hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
I have also done this:
[10:22:46] openhabian@openHABianPi:/dev$ sudo usermod -a -G dialout openhab
I will not provide any help for the 1.x binding, that is terribly old for me. Please return to the current version of the binding (2.0).
Try enabling DEBUG logs, it could add additional information: log:set DEBUG org.openhab.binding.powermax
Run command ls /dev/tty* and see if /dev/ttyUSB0 is listed.
Then you will have to tell openHAB to consider this USB port. Personnaly I do it by updating the file runtime/bin/karaf, adding the following line at line 262 (adjusted to your port): JAVA_OPTS="${JAVA_OPTS} -Dgnu.io.rxtx.SerialPorts=/dev/ttyUSB0"
and the v2.4.0 binding is now working and talking to the powermaxexpress panel. The reason i reverted to the v1 binding was because it was slightly more informative about telling me that it couldnât find a connection even though I could see that the rpi could see the serial adapator device on the USB device port. Anyway you have solved it!
Good to know that it works well with a Powermax Express.
Please note that the way I suggested adding the java option is probably not the best as it will be lost by an upgrade. A proper solution should certainly exist.
Iâm a newbie regarding OpenHAB. Used Domotica for a few years, but now trying to use OpenHAB. Main reasons is the support for the Powermax/master sensors individually.
I have a PowerMaster 10 that I am trying to get working with OpenHAB using a Powerlink3, but no luck. Reading this post and several other post in OpenHAB about this issue, but still canât find some one that connect with Powerlink IP instead of serial or serial/IP.
The Powermax binding says itâs connected. I get a lot CRC errors in the log, it even seems to read my PowerMaster when I use âsetup_infoâ, but thatâs it.
You cammot run the binding in parallel of a hardware powerlink module. You have to make a choice. I think this point is mentioned in the documentation, isnât it ?
And the support of powermaster could be worst. I am not sure to have a feedback ever.
With serial/IP I mean the serial to IP converter such as USR-TCP232-T2. In the binding documentation I read âpowerlinkâ which suggest I can use it or is it only PowerLink2?
I just came here to say Thank you !
I had PowerMaxPlus which didnât play nice, and I just bought brand new PowerMaxPro and I find your binding super useful!
Appreciate the effort youâre doing here.
