Satel binding - support, announcements and feature requests

That’s really weird, because the core of the binding is almost the same in version 2 as in version 1.
What do you have in the log for OH 1.x version of the binding when it is starting?

I don’t think details about your alarm configuration could help, as version 1 works well. Do you have the same binding configuration in version 2 as in 1? I mean refresh time, encryption, timeouts.

I have similar problem under OH 2.5.4 after upgrade from OH 2.4:

So I decided to downgrade from OH 2.5 to 2.4 and it works

That’s really interesting. Theoretically I should have the same version, but it is built by me not the one from the distribution. Anyway that’s something I need to check.

@sim0nx if you could install 2.5.3 and check the binding is working correctly for you, that would be really helpful.

@greg161 Could you please try 2.5.3? I the mean time I will try to upgrade my OH to 2.5.4…

I tried 2.5.3 and 2.5.4 , unfortunately it does not work for me, log shows the same problem, I installed OH by sudo apt-get install openhab2=2.5.3-1 , when I came back to 2.4.0 it started working again without any problem.

I wonder if it is possible to use ETHM-1 Plus to use PUSH messages from it ?

This feature is on my TODO list, but don’t expect it soon.

If this is the case, then I have no idea what is wrong.
Are you using file-based configuration or you configured things and items using Paper UI?

Unfortunately I cannot upgrade to 2.5.4 because of some repository issues. But definitely 2.5.3-1 should work. You could also try the version from the marketplace.

Yes I do have the same settings. I tried increasing timeouts but that just delays the behavior.
I will answer your first question last while I am doing more tests you requested.

I have just downgraded to 2.5.3, but with the same result that it keeps looping (same as in 2.5.4)

@druciak so I tried downgrading to OH 2.4 as suggested by @greg161 and tada it works for me immediately as well!
Now this is a a nice surprise!
I hope this maybe helps to find the issue, what do you think :slight_smile: ?

ETHM-1 module connected successfully
Connection to Integra .... initialized. Version: 1.13 2015-03-14.  

All the items come online and stay online. No more looping.


I upgraded to 2.5.4 again, but this time I removed the package for legacy addons (which is only available up to 2.5.3 apparently) and removed the addons package reverting to downloading the extensions I suppose.

Though this did not change anything. It keeps looping in connect/timeout again.

Guys, I am sorry for the inconvenience. I should have guessed the reason earlier. I bet command 7C introduced recently makes troubles. It is supported by newer versions of the ETHM firmware, but I guess older modules do not respond to it.
I will try to come up with a solution soon.

By the way, the command 7C has been added in 2.5.1. If any of you @sim0nx @greg161 could test 2.5.0, that would help to prove that command 7C is a trouble. In that case 2.5.0 should work without any problem.

Upgrade 2.4.0 to 2.5.0 works :slight_smile:

I can confirm the same thing, 2.5.0 works like a charm.

What does that 7C command do? Any chance you could remove it or make its use configurable or something?

Would be a shame for that to be the reason we can’t use this great addon (and not be able to upgrade to v3 in the future :-O) :slight_smile:

Please read my posts carefully :wink:

Sorry I missed that post :slight_smile:
Awesome, thank you!

Happy to test any custom build jar’s whenever you are ready :slight_smile:

I will try again to upgrade my ETHM1 in the meantime…have failed to do so so far :frowning: .

New version is available at the marketplace. It contain fix for the issue mentioned by @sim0nx and @greg161. It also contains a small fix for incorrect date or time set in Integra panel.

I hope it will solve your issues guys. Let me know how it works.
