RFLink binding

Johan_F · December 5, 2017, 5:08pm

Hey David, Im using your enhanced version of RFLinkGateway … but in the original as well as in your version I have trouble with temperature readings… example:

RFLINK/Digitech/00ba/R/BAT OK
RFLINK/Digitech/00ba/R/TEMP 38.3
RFLINK/Digitech/00ba/R/message 20;04;Digitech;ID=00ba;TEMP=017f;BAT=OK;

RFLINK/Prologue/9742/R/TEMP 3277.1
RFLINK/Prologue/9742/R/message 20;05;Prologue;ID=9742;TEMP=8003;

Why is the value that is sent to the controller changed (corrupted?)?
In the first example I would have wanted “017f” to be the value to get to the controller… and “8003” in the second example… Am I missing something?

Edit:
Well I think I understand now… the hex value is translated to decimal… that seems to work as long as we have positive degrees (Celcius)… but when the temperature drops below 0 C it should have calculated 3276.8 (8000h) - 3277.1 (8003h) = -0.3 (my second example)…

@Johan_F Can you try the fix I’ve committed?

Johan_F · December 6, 2017, 10:31am

hm I get

RFLinkGW.SerialProcessing - run - ERROR - Receive error: name 'signedhex2dec' is not defined

dmartinpro · December 6, 2017, 12:22pm

Ok, sorry about that. I’ll investigate later today and fix this.

dmartinpro · December 6, 2017, 5:43pm

@Johan_F : should be fixed now. Let me know if something is still wrong

Johan_F · December 6, 2017, 7:54pm

works like a charm now! Thanks a lot man

a question about this:

im new in OH2 (OHian). How can i add this binding
to OH2?

i see here different solution to bind a rflink device, eg

works they all with the last OH2 revision?

rflink-page shows a link to cyrilcc/org.openhab.binding.rflink

regard

AndrewZ · January 4, 2018, 12:54pm

Another one is described earlier in this thread, you don’t have to install a special binding.

noxx · January 4, 2018, 4:41pm

ok, how can i log my devices? if i copy your code, i get a error

==> /var/log/openhab2/openhab.log <==

2018-01-04 17:38:42.185 [INFO ] [el.core.internal.ModelRepositoryImpl] - Refreshing model 'home.rules'

im new in OH. can anyone help, that on my system rflink runs?

at the moment i ve a clean openhabian installed. only samba and ssh works.

how must i install the script or the addon?

noxx · January 7, 2018, 4:16pm

nobody want or can help me?
is it so difficult to add rflink?

AsklepiOS · January 7, 2018, 4:20pm

I am using GitHub - dmartinpro/RFLinkGateway: MQTT Support for RFLink Gateway (http://www.rflink.nl) project and it’s working just fine

noxx · January 7, 2018, 4:22pm

thx for your fast answer. im new, so i dont know, in which folder i must put the files.
can you help`?

AsklepiOS · January 8, 2018, 9:22am

It is a standalone application to transfer the information from rflink to a mqtt server. Openhab has to be connected to the mqtt server as well.

noxx · January 8, 2018, 1:29pm

thx

if i try to start via ssh, i get this error

i had installed this 3 here:
sudo pip install serial
sudo pip install tornado
sudo pip install tornado-mqtt

it seems that
MQTTClient.py
and
SerialProcess.py
runs now.
but not
RFLinkGateway.py

[18:14:50] openhabian@openHABianPi:~/RFLinkGateway$ ./RFLinkGateway.py

    stream = open(self.baseFilename, self.mode)

any idea?

AsklepiOS · January 8, 2018, 7:39pm

start the gateway with python RFLinkGateway.py

make sure to adjust the config file accordingly to your needs. The error you are seeing means you don’t have the rights to write the logfile in the /var/log directory

noxx · January 8, 2018, 8:16pm

thx. i try it with sudo

 sudo python RFLinkGateway.py
2018-01-08 21:16:01,184 - RFLinkGW.SerialProcessing - __init__ - INFO - Starting...

  File "/home/openhabian/RFLinkGateway/SerialProcess.py", line 19, in __init__
    self.sp = serial.Serial()
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'Serial'

next error

noxx · January 8, 2018, 9:45pm

i tink it runs now…
i had installed
sudo python -m pip install pyserial

now i get

noxx · January 9, 2018, 3:54pm

i think somewhere is a error, or?
where can i find my devices that rflink has found?

in other tool i find with rflink every few seconds devices infos (e.g. FHEM, Pimatic, Home Assistant)

regard and thx for help
