Satel binding - support, announcements and feature requests

I enter the code in the BasicUI and then use your rule to delete the code.

druciak · March 5, 2019, 6:33pm

I think event channel would be the best for such purpose. In case of an error in command response an event would be triggered with error code. You could then react for such event in a rule, for example displaying a message to the user.

Hi @druciak
Thanx for your hard work…
I have problems reading logs…

My config files:
Bridge satel:ethm-1:home “SATEL ETHM-1 bridge” …
Thing event-log SatelLog [ ]
Number iSatelEVENT_LOG_IDX { channel=“satel:event-log:home:SatelLog:index” }

when I sending value
smarthome:send iSatelEVENT_LOG_IDX -1

I am receiving this info in logs:
01:02:05.478 [INFO ] [smarthome.event.ItemCommandEvent ] - Item ‘iSatelEVENT_LOG_IDX’ received command -1
01:02:05.482 [INFO ] [arthome.event.ItemStatePredictedEvent] - iSatelEVENT_LOG_IDX predicted to become NULL

All items are NULL:
Number iSatelEVENT_LOG_IDX “Log - aktualny indeks [%d]” (Satel) { channel=“satel:event-log:home:SatelLog:index” }
Number iSatelEVENT_LOG_PREV “Log - poprzedni indeks [%d]” (Satel) { channel=“satel:event-log:home:SatelLog:prev_index” }
DateTime iSatelEVENT_LOG_TIME “Log - czas [%1$tF %1$tR]” (Satel) { channel=“satel:event-log:home:SatelLog:timestamp” }
String iSatelEVENT_LOG_DESC “Log - opis [%s]” (Satel) { channel=“satel:event-log:home:SatelLog:description” }
String iSatelEVENT_LOG_DETAILS “Log - detale [%s]” (Satel) { channel=“satel:event-log:home:SatelLog:details” }
generally I cannot read any logs…could you put here any “working example”?

druciak · March 28, 2019, 10:38am

Hi @Roberto2
“working example” is presented in the docs. I have it currently in my OH2 config and besides small inconvinince, it generally works. Try to copy/paste the example from the docs and see if it helps. You might have a typo or you did some changes that cause troubles.

This is for sure no an excerpt from the doc, so it look like you have made some modofication to it or you just created your own rules.

Roberto2 · March 28, 2019, 6:21pm

@druciak yes I modified names only as you can see in my *.items file
but don’t want any rules now … just would like trigger logs read so I put -1 (per doc) to
[satel:event-log:home:SatelLog:index]
and looking for logs here:
[satel:event-log:home:SatelLog:description]

Question: logs are populated during alarm condition only?

gbicskei · March 28, 2019, 6:27pm

Hi @druciak ,
I’ve set up a small test environment to test the integration. All things are online and I’m able to arm/disarm a partition but OH doesn’t receive any zone/output event. Is there any special configuration on Satel/OH side required to receive these events? E.g. Zone type? Data option/telephone/external modem/ethm?

Th only thing I see in the logs is this:

2011-01-01 03:17:20.423 [DEBUG] [.satel.internal.protocol.SatelModule] - Sending message: Message: command = 7F, payload =
2011-01-01 03:17:20.627 [DEBUG] [.satel.internal.protocol.SatelModule] - Got response: Message: command = 7F, payload = FF FF FF FF FF
2011-01-01 03:17:20.628 [DEBUG] [satel.internal.event.EventDispatcher] - Distributing event: NewStatesEvent: changed = [00,01,02,03,04,05,06,07,08,09,0A,0B,0C,0D,0E,0F,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,1A,1B,1C,1D,1E,1F,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27]

The firmware version is 1.18

Thanks

druciak · March 28, 2019, 7:34pm

Without rules you won’t be able to read the log. By changing index item you set offset of the record you will get the data for. So by sending -1 you’ll get the most recent record only.

Regarding your issue. Please enable DEBUG logging level for the binding, because I am not able to guess what is wrong from this little information you have provided.

druciak · March 28, 2019, 7:46pm

Hi Gabor
If you were able to communicate with the system, all configuration on the alarm system side is correct and sufficient. For sure on OH side you need things and items configuration for zones you would like to monitor, like for all other bindings.
If this all you see in the logs, it seems that you have not linked any items to channels of your things.

Please provide more details about your OH configuration, as I cannot help further without it.

gbicskei · March 28, 2019, 8:33pm

Things and items are linked. It can be seen in PaperUI as well. These are the test items:

Group Satel
Group:Switch:OR(ON,OFF) Alarms "Területek [(%d)]" <siren>
Switch PARTITION_ARMED "Terület élesítve" (Satel) {channel="satel:partition:bd9c6598:1:armed"}
Switch PARTITION_ALARM "Terület riasztás" (Satel,Alarms) {channel="satel:partition:bd9c6598:1:alarm"}
Switch LIVING_VIOLATION "Nappali területsértés" (Satel) {channel="satel:zone:bd9c6598:17:violation"}
Switch LIVING_ALARM "Nappali riasztás" (Satel) {channel="satel:zone:bd9c6598:17:alarm"}
Switch BEDROOM_VIOLATION "Háló területsértés" (Satel) {channel="satel:zone:bd9c6598:18:violation"}
Switch BEDROOM_ALARM "Háló riasztás" (Satel) {channel="satel:zone:bd9c6598:18:alarm"}

Switch ZONE "Zone" (Satel) {channel="satel:output:bd9c6598:4:state"}
Switch ZONE7_ALARM "Zone7 Alarm" (Satel) {channel="satel:zone:bd9c6598:7:alarm"}
Switch ZONE7_VIOLATION "Zone7 Violation" (Satel) {channel="satel:zone:bd9c6598:7:violation"}

Switch SYSTEM_TROUBLES "Rendszer problémák" (Satel)

Number EVENT_LOG_IDX "Eseménynapló - aktuális [%d]" (Satel) {channel="satel:event-log:bd9c6598:index"}
Number EVENT_LOG_PREV "Eseménynapló - előző [%d]" (Satel) {channel="satel:event-log:bd9c6598:prev_index"}
DateTime EVENT_LOG_TIME "Eseménynapló - idő [%1$tF %1$tR]" (Satel) {channel="satel:event-log:bd9c6598:timestamp"}
String EVENT_LOG_DESCR "Eseménynapló - magyarázat [%s]" (Satel) {channel="satel:event-log:bd9c6598:description"}
String EVENT_LOG_DET "Eseménynapló - részletek [%s]" (Satel) {channel="satel:event-log:bd9c6598:details"}

And this is the sample site map:

sitemap alarm label="Alarm" {
    Frame label="Alarm system" {
        Switch item=Alarms mappings=[OFF="Clear"]
        Switch item=PARTITION_ARMED mappings=[ON="Arm", OFF="Disarm"]
        Frame label="Status" {
            Switch item=SYSTEM_TROUBLES mappings=[OFF="Clear"]
            Switch item=LIVING_VIOLATION
            Switch item=LIVING_ALARM
            Switch item=BEDROOM_VIOLATION
            Switch item=BEDROOM_ALARM
        }
        Frame label="Zone" {
            Switch item=ZONE
            Switch item=ZONE7_VIOLATION
            Switch item=ZONE7_ALARM
        }
        Frame label="Events" {
            Text item=EVENT_LOG_DESCR
            Text item=EVENT_LOG_TIME
            Text item=EVENT_LOG_DET
        }
    }
}

I’m able to arm/disarm the system from browser (BasicUI) but no state changes returned (e.g. I arm the system from Satel keypad - the BasicUI switch doesn’t reflect thearmed state . Also no switch state changes for zones/outputs.

druciak · March 29, 2019, 4:57am

What about things? Do you have all the things defined either in PaperUI or in files?

gbicskei · March 29, 2019, 6:07am

Yes. Things are all from the Inbox after accepting the discovery results. BTW are you sure about the Satel side? I mean shoudn’t the status polling be showing some status change - e.g. zone 17 and 18 violation from the items above (simple door magnets). The response payload of the polls in the logs doesn’t reflect any change whatever I do on Satel side…

druciak · March 29, 2019, 10:03am

Hmm, that’s weird.

This response tells you what has changed since tha last poll and from your log it looks that all state types have changed - this normal thing for the first request. However there should be more requests for each of state type defined in the configuration. So for example zones violation is ‘00’ and there should be request to get violations for all the zones. But if you don’t have channel ‘Violation’ linked for any thing - this request will be skipped as the result would be useless. Since you don’t have further requests it seems that you don’t have any channels linked in the configuration.
Or maybe there is another bug that I am not aware of.

gbicskei · March 29, 2019, 10:14am

Shall I define my things in files?

druciak · March 29, 2019, 10:17am

On the other hand, since you are able to arm/disarm it looks that at least partition definition is correctly linked. So it should at least get partition alarm state after the first request. But for some reason it does not issue any more request.
You could also try setting TRACE logging level see if something more appears in the log.

This shouldn’t be necessary, both ways (UI and files) should work. But you could give it a try if everything failed.

gbicskei · March 29, 2019, 10:18am

There was nothing extra info with TRACE level. Can you suggest an entry point in the code to debug?

druciak · March 29, 2019, 12:38pm

I would start with this method:

github.com

openhab/openhab2-addons/blob/2a796503d9e03eb485b05a1cef023d5523a86f18/addons/binding/org.openhab.binding.satel/src/main/java/org/openhab/binding/satel/internal/handler/SatelStateThingHandler.java#L67


        this.requiresRefresh.set(true);
    } else if (bridgeHandler != null && StringUtils.isNotEmpty(bridgeHandler.getUserCode())) {
        SatelCommand satelCommand = convertCommand(channelUID, command);
        if (satelCommand != null) {
            bridgeHandler.sendCommand(satelCommand, true);
        }
    }
}


@Override
public void incomingEvent(SatelEvent event) {
    logger.trace("Handling incoming event: {}", event);
    if (event instanceof ConnectionStatusEvent) {
        ConnectionStatusEvent statusEvent = (ConnectionStatusEvent) event;
        // we have just connected, change thing's status and force refreshing
        if (statusEvent.isConnected()) {
            updateStatus(ThingStatus.ONLINE);
            requiresRefresh.set(true);
        }
    } else if (event instanceof NewStatesEvent) {
        // refresh all states that have changed

However you should get “Handling incoming event” log message on TRACE level, but it seems this method is not fired. This is really weird. What version of OH are you using?

gbicskei · March 29, 2019, 12:50pm

My oh version is 2.5.0 M1

druciak · March 29, 2019, 3:01pm

And what version of the binding are you using? The one that comes with OH or that from the marketplace attached to this thread?

gbicskei · March 29, 2019, 5:54pm

The version comes with OH: org.openhab.binding.satel:2.5.0.M1

druciak · April 3, 2019, 6:24am

Hey Gabor,
did you make any progress? If it still does not work, I suggest to make a try with file-based configuration.

What is also very strange, that you did not get any more logs with TRACE level. Did you change it for the binding for sure?
