[Satel] Lack of module:connected and module:connected_since

Add-ons Bindings

Hi,
with the new binding release I can’t find module:connected, module:connected_since and module:connection_errors possibility to monitor. Do I miss something?

Cheers!

Today I’ve upgraded OpenHab from 2.2 do 2.3, and also observed that there is no module:connected_since and module:connected_since. It was very useful, as in my environment Satel sometimes disconnects from OpenHab (or opposite).
Is there any alternative or way to have such data?

Hey guys.
I removed these features as in OH2 this is easy to achieve that using thing’s status. So you actually can implement such feature for any binding you want. Here is an example:

rule "Connection status changed to ONLINE"
when
	Thing "satel:ethm-1:home" changed to ONLINE
then
	Satel_Connection.postUpdate(ON)
	Satel_ConnSince.postUpdate(new DateTimeType())
	Satel_ConnErrors.postUpdate(NULL)
end

rule "Connection status received OFFLINE"
when
	Thing "satel:ethm-1:home" received update OFFLINE
then
	if (Satel_ConnErrors.state == NULL) {
		Satel_Connection.postUpdate(OFF)
		Satel_ConnSince.postUpdate(NULL)
		Satel_ConnErrors.postUpdate(1)
	} else {
		val currentState = Satel_ConnErrors.state as DecimalType
		Satel_ConnErrors.postUpdate(currentState.intValue + 1)
	}
end

I hope it helps :slight_smile:

Ok, it worked for me, Thank you :slight_smile:

My satel.items

Switch  Satel_Connection   "Satel Connection [%s]"
DateTime Satel_ConnSince   "Connected since [%1$tY-%1$tm-%1$td %1$tH:%1$tM]"
Number Satel_ConnErrors    "Errors: [%s]"

Sitemap:

Text item=Satel_Connection
Text item=Satel_ConnSince icon="time"
Text item=Satel_ConnErrors

I believe it is not the best way to do it, but, I’m not programmer, and for now it is enough for me.

Once again, thanks @druciak

Well, I have almost the same items, so this is the right direction. :slight_smile:

BTW Is there any feature you would like to have in the Satel Binding?
