Problems regex after switch from oh2 on oh3

wipwap · June 30, 2021, 6:30am

Hi all,

in OH2 I had a items file with lines like this:
Number PV_Einspeisung_aktuell_KW “PV Einspeisung Aktuell 2.99.0: [%.2f] KW” { http="<[http://192.168.1.102/plugins/smartmeter/index.php:6000:REGEX(.AH0648EY:Delivery_CalculatedPower_OBIS_\d.\d\d.\d:(\d+.\d+).)]" }

and it worked. In OH3, I added this line into the items file and the resulst is “null”. I added a thing with a channel to keep the web page resulst. It works:

AH0648EY:Last_Update:2021-06-30 08:26:29 AH0648EY:Last_UpdateLoxEpoche:394273589 AH0648EY:Consumption_Total_OBIS_1.8.0:047453.913 AH0648EY:Consumption_Tarif1_OBIS_1.8.1:024126.841 AH0648EY:Consumption_Tarif2_OBIS_1.8.2:023327.072 AH0648EY:Consumption_Tarif3_OBIS_1.8.3: AH0648EY:Consumption_Tarif4_OBIS_1.8.4: AH0648EY:Consumption_Tarif5_OBIS_1.8.5: AH0648EY:Consumption_Tarif6_OBIS_1.8.6: AH0648EY:Consumption_Tarif7_OBIS_1.8.7: AH0648EY:Consumption_Tarif8_OBIS_1.8.8: AH0648EY:Consumption_Tarif9_OBIS_1.8.9: AH0648EY:Consumption_CalculatedPower_OBIS_1.99.0:2.1600 AH0648EY:Consumption_Power_OBIS_1.7.0: AH0648EY:Delivery_Total_OBIS_2.8.0:020585.348 AH0648EY:Delivery_Tarif1_OBIS_2.8.1:020583.555 AH0648EY:Delivery_Tarif2_OBIS_2.8.2:000001.793 AH0648EY:Delivery_Tarif3_OBIS_2.8.3: AH0648EY:Delivery_Tarif4_OBIS_2.8.4: AH0648EY:Delivery_Tarif5_OBIS_2.8.5: AH0648EY:Delivery_Tarif6_OBIS_2.8.6: AH0648EY:Delivery_Tarif7_OBIS_2.8.7: AH0648EY:Delivery_Tarif8_OBIS_2.8.8: AH0648EY:Delivery_Tarif9_OBIS_2.8.9: AH0648EY:Delivery_CalculatedPower_OBIS_2.99.0:**0.0000** AH0648EY:Delivery_Power_OBIS_2.7.0: AH0648EY:Total_Power_OBIS_15.7.0: AH0648EY:Total_Power_OBIS_16.7.0: #EOF

Now i add a Regex transformation, as I am interested in the bold marked value:

.*AH0648EY:Delivery_CalculatedPower_OBIS_2.99.0:(\\d+.\\d+).*

I tried this on Regex testers and there it works. In the channel I do not see a value. What am I doing wrong?

thanks in advance

hafniumzinc · June 30, 2021, 6:40am

All we can do is guess at this stage - please post your full Thing and Item configurations.

Do you have the REGEX Transformation Service installed?

wipwap · June 30, 2021, 6:57am

yes. regex is installed. I configured thing via OH Webinterface.

Thing code:

UID: http:url:Loxberry
label: Loxberry
thingTypeUID: http:url
configuration:
  authMode: DIGEST
  ignoreSSLErrors: false
  baseURL: http://192.168.1.102/plugins/smartmeter/index.php
  refresh: 5
  commandMethod: GET
  contentType: text/html
  timeout: 3000
  bufferSize: 2048
channels:
  - id: plaintext
    channelTypeUID: http:string
    label: plaintext
    description: ""
    configuration: {}

I also added the channel is configured via WebInterface as String Channel with “Read only”.
I also link to a new Item type String with Regex Transformation

.*AH0648EY:Delivery_CalculatedPower_OBIS_2.99.0:(\\d*.\\d*).*

via WebInterface. The result is an empty String.

@ hafniumzinc I do not have a thing file yet. And my items file is a copy of the oh2 items file:

None of these are going to work. HTTP-1 syntax will not work with HTTP-2 Things andchannels.

How/where exactly did you do that, given you are using xxx.items files?

Link a plain String Item to your channel aswell, with no transformation, and see if you get the full result you expect. Then you’ll know better where to look for your problem.

wipwap · June 30, 2021, 8:57am

ok, thanks for help. I finally got it, but it does not look very elegant. My things file:

Thing http:url:loxberry "MyLoxberry" [
	baseURL="http://192.168.1.102/plugins/smartmeter/index.php",
	refresh=5] {
		Channels:
			Type string : LoxberryResultPage "LoxberryResultPage" [ stateTransformation="REGEX:(.*)" ]
}

My Items File:

String PV_Einspeisung_aktuell_KW "PV Einspeisung Aktuell 2.99.0:  [%.2f]" { CHANNEL="LoxberryResultPage" }

My Sitemap:

				Text item=PV_Einspeisung_aktuell_KW

after that, I had to manually link the existing Item to the channel via WebInterface with this regex expression:

.*AH0648EY:Delivery_CalculatedPower_OBIS_2.99.0:(\d*.\d*).*

rossko57 · June 30, 2021, 10:22am

That’s just bad syntax, and will be ignored.
{ channel = "blahblah" }
lowercase
So you had to …

When you made that link, you’ll maybe have noticed that the full reference or UID for the channel was something like
http:loxberry:LoxberryResultPage
and that’s what you would need to put in the { channel = "xx" } place.
Even if you use files, the web view is useful to find out UIDs accurately.

You could do this in the actual channel instead, you’re already doing a REGEX there -
stateTransformation="REGEX:(.*)"

Applying to the channel link as a profile works of course, but you’re doing two REGEX instead of just one.

wipwap · June 30, 2021, 10:47am

@rossko57 thx. the tip with the uid was great.

I changed the files like this:

Thing http:url:loxberry "MyLoxberry" [
	baseURL="http://192.168.1.102/plugins/smartmeter/index.php",
	refresh=15] {
		Channels:
			Type string : LoxberryResultPage "LoxberryResultPage" [ stateTransformation="REGEX:(.*)" ]
			Type string : pveinspeisungaktuell "PV_Einspeisung_aktuell" [ stateTransformation="REGEX:.*AH0648EY:Delivery_CalculatedPower_OBIS_2.99.0:(\\d*.\\d*).*" ]
			
}

Items:

Number PV_Einspeisung_aktuell_KW "PV Einspeisung Aktuell 2.99.0: [%.2f KW]" { CHANNEL="http:url:loxberry:LoxberryResultPage" }
Number NEW_Einspeisung_aktuell_KW "PV Einspeisung Aktuell 2.99.0: [%.2f KW]" { CHANNEL="http:url:loxberry:pveinspeisungaktuell" }

Sitemap:

				Text item=PV_Einspeisung_aktuell_KW
				Text item=NEW_Einspeisung_aktuell_KW

But, the new item shows no value. Also in the openhab WebGUI, the new channel does not show any value.

rossko57 · June 30, 2021, 12:01pm

You’ll have to escape the colons in your regex expression (because colons are special in xx.things files)

Note that small Thing file edits may or may not not get taken into account until the binding is restarted.

wipwap · June 30, 2021, 1:02pm

Thank you @rossko57 .

When I can read “2021-06-30 14:59:14.037 [INFO ] [el.core.internal.ModelRepositoryImpl] - Loading model ‘cyberstoeckli.things’” then the changes are read and active? Anyway. I changed again and restartet the Raspi. Values are still not read.

This is my regex that I entered in the OH WebInterface and what works:

.*AH0648EY.Delivery_CalculatedPower_OBIS_2\.99\.0.(\d*.\d*).*

this is what I have in Things File:

Thing http:url:loxberry "MyLoxberry" [
	baseURL="http://192.168.1.102/plugins/smartmeter/index.php",
	refresh=15] {
		Channels:
			Type string : LoxberryResultPage "LoxberryResultPage" [ stateTransformation="REGEX:(.*)" ]
			Type string : pveinspeisungaktuell 
			"pveinspeisungaktuell" [ stateTransformation="REGEX:.*AH0648EY.Delivery_CalculatedPower_OBIS_2\\.99\\.0.(\\d*.\\d*).*" ]
			
}

items:

String NEW_Einspeisung_aktuell_KW "New Einspeisung Aktuell 2.99.0: [%s KW]" { CHANNEL="http:url:loxberry:pveinspeisungaktuell" }

Value is null. I avoided the colon with using . But its still not ok. I think I am too stupid, sorry to bother you.

rossko57 · June 30, 2021, 1:18pm

No. That tells you framework has loaded your file. It does not tell you anything about bindings that may be connected to these Things, each binding must make it’s own arrangements some are better at in-flight changes than others.

I don’t know much about regex expressions, why not just escape colons in the expression that you know works as a UI entry?

wipwap · June 30, 2021, 1:22pm

this one also works as UI entry:

.*AH0648EY.Delivery_CalculatedPower_OBIS_2\.99\.0.(\d*.\d*).*

I tried to excap : like \: but this lead to errors in the log files. Thats why I replaced “:” through “.”. .=any char.

2021-06-30 15:24:54.989 [WARN ] [el.core.internal.ModelRepositoryImpl] - Configuration model 'cyberstoeckli.things' has errors, therefore ignoring it: [7,49]: mismatched character ':' expecting set null

[7,112]: mismatched input 'd' expecting ']'

[7,117]: no viable alternative at input 'd'

[7,122]: mismatched character '<EOF>' expecting '"'

but what is wrong with this one:

Type string : pveinspeisungaktuell 
			"pveinspeisungaktuell" [ stateTransformation="REGEX:.*AH0648EY.Delivery_CalculatedPower_OBIS_2\\.99\\.0.(\\d*.\\d*).*" ]

rossko57 · June 30, 2021, 1:31pm

Double backsplash for escape in things files
\\:

I think you’re getting into trouble because your expression also contains backslashes. If you want a double \\ to get passed to regex, you would need to escape each one.
\\\\

None of this applies when configuring via GUI, which takes care of it for you.

wipwap · June 30, 2021, 1:43pm

No, I do not want to pass

\\

to regex. As this following works via UI:

.*AH0648EY:Delivery_CalculatedPower_OBIS_2.99.0:(\d+.\d+).*

Only simple back slashes. Ok, tried to escap the colon like this:

			Type string : pveinspeisungaktuell 
			"pveinspeisungaktuell" [ stateTransformation="REGEX:.*AH0648EY\\:Delivery_CalculatedPower_OBIS_2.99.0\\:(\\d.\\d+).*" ]

that should pass the upper regular expression to Regex. Does not work either.

rossko57 · July 1, 2021, 12:56am

Yes, it’s all less forgiving when using xxx.things files.

Maybe I’m wrong about the double backslash for colon, but you would still need to escape the \d that you also want to pass, so
.*AH0648EY:Delivery_CalculatedPower_OBIS_2.99.0\:(\\d+.\\d+).*
