Question about Harmony Integration

hheckner · March 30, 2019, 10:18am

What I do want to achieve is:
Switch a TPLink Steckdose with my Harmony Elite using openhab2 (which is running on a synology ds918)

What I already achieved is that
1.) HueEmulation Services running and recognized by Harmony Elite
2.) I can switch on and off the TPLink using openhab basic ui
3.) I can only switch off the TPLink using my harmony remote control.

What I want to achieve that I can either switch on AND off the TPLink using my harmony remote control.

What I noticed that I managed to switch on via harmony just once. Switching off and back on again DOES NOT work. I also repaired and resynced my harmony

What is causing the problem that I can switch on and off the TPLink using the basic ui but NOT via the harmony elite?

here is my default.sitemap
sitemap default label=“My first sitemap”

{

Switch item=Subwoofer label=“Plug”

}

here my default.items
Switch Subwoofer “TPLink für Subwoofer” <light> (gWohnzimmer) [“Lighting”] { channel=“tplinksmarthome:hs110:C6A524:switch” }

Platform information:
- Hardware: Harmony Elite + Hub + Synology DS918
- openHAB version: 2.4.0
Issue of the topic: see above
Please post : see above

silly question: If I update the sitemap or the items files do I have to restart openhab2 , do I have to change / update anything on the harmony side?

And of course I installed the special developer firmware on my harmony so that openhab can reach my harmony: https://community.logitech.com/s/question/0D55A00008D4bZ4SAJ/harmony-hub-firmware-update-fixes-vulnerabilities. On my harmony remote control I see the firmware version; 4.15.250, is that correct?

Before you can proceed you need to fix that error:

Exception while formatting value ‘OFF’ of item Subwoofer with format ‘%.1f W’: f != java.lang.String

This error does not match your sitemap and item definition you posted, so the question is: did you configure some items via PaperUI instead of text files? You have a power channel linked to an item Subwoofer, but also a switch channel linked to an item Subwoofer. That won’t work, item names have to be unique. You are formatting a switch item with some %.1f W format. You don’t need a format at all for a switch item.
Please start reading the basics:

Hi sihui,
thanks for your input.
I already managed to remove the error message by reconfiguring my default.items and default.sitemap.
Now for your input:

I changed the Subwoofer Thing by adding “Paper UI” to the name as follows:

I copied and pasted the info from there

to the switch definition in default.items as follows:

That should do the job.

Furthermore some other user pointed out to restart openhab and to clean the cache and the tmp files.

Then i renamed the switch as follows to check whether the changes have been forwarded to my harmony:

I see now the correct name Subwoofer2

Now I could switch on and off the TPLink… but only once. After that nothing works anymore.
Although I can use the basic ui to switch on and off perfectly it does work on the harmony just ONCE then never again?

From the eventlog I see the events coming in… but after once switching on and off there are no more events generated. So I assume that something with the harmony hub or with the hue emulation services is wrong. Any idea?

No need for that. I was talking about Item names, not Thing names. You did not read the docs I linked to, I guess?

Yes, that is the correct way.

You changed the label of the item, not the item name. Please read the docs!

How I renamed the switch name to Subwoofer2
I just don’t get it. Although I read the docs but I don’t get why the name of the switch does matter anyways?

All I do understand is that the name of the switch need to match the name in the site map. But why that influences the behaviour with harmony hub … i don’t get it.

So in the end: This does NOT work:
Switch Subwoofer “Subwoofer2” [“Lighting”] { channel=“tplinksmarthome:hs110:C6A524:switch” }
Switch Coffeemachine “Kaffeemaschine” { channel=“tplinksmarthome:hs110:C689B4:switch” }

sitemap default label=“My first sitemap”
{
Switch item=Subwoofer label=“Subwoofer”
Switch item=Coffeemachine label=“Kaffeemaschine”
}

and this DOES WORK:
Switch Subwoofer2 “Subwoofer2” [“Lighting”] { channel=“tplinksmarthome:hs110:C6A524:switch” }
Switch Coffeemachine “Kaffeemaschine” { channel=“tplinksmarthome:hs110:C689B4:switch” }

sitemap default label=“My first sitemap”
{
Switch item=Subwoofer2 label=“Subwoofer”
Switch item=Coffeemachine label=“Kaffeemaschine”
}

Correct, the item name, the item label does not matter.

itemtype itemname "labeltext [stateformat]" <iconname> (group1, group2, ...) ["tag1", "tag2", ...] {bindingconfig}

Switch Subwoofer2 "Subwoofer2" ["Lighting"] { channel="tplinksmarthome:hs110:C6A524:switch" }

Switch is your itemtype, Subwoofer2 is your itemname, “Subwoofer2” is your item labeltext, “Lighting” is one of your tags, channel=“tplink…” is your bindingconfig.
