Sitemap shows 2 entries

Setup, Configuration and Use Items & Sitemaps
1

Hya,

sorry if it was already answered, but could not find it.

I’m an absolute new openhab user, and following the procedures , i created the first sitemap, creating /etc/openhab2/sitemaps/default.sitemap.

When in hbadmin panel, under sitemap, i find two sitemaps, the one i created and another home, called home, with the link showing http://localhost:8080/habmin/index.html#/sitemap/view/_default/_default which shows me the right panel with title Home
When trying the created one, http://localhost:8080/habmin/index.html#/sitemap/view/default/default, right panel shows no title.

Questions:

  • how to discard the _default/_default?
  • why does the created one (PJW Home) shows no title?

Thx in advance.

BR

Welcome to the openHAB Forum.

Please show the contents of your sitemap file. Without that we can only guess.
The _default sitemap is created automatically and can’t be deleted.

Thx for answering.

the content

sitemap pjw_home label="PJW Home" {
    Frame label="First Floor" icon="firstfloor" {
        Group item=FF_LivingDining
        Group item=FF_Toilet
        Group item=FF_Kitchen
        Group item=FF_FrontYard
        Group item=FF_Outside
        Group item=FF_LaundryRoom
    }

    Frame label="Second Floor" icon="attic" {
        Group item=F2_MasterBedroom
        Group item=F2_Bedroom1
        Group item=F2_Bedroom2
        Group item=F2_Bedroom3
    }

}

i also tried to continue with homebuilder, but it starts from scratch.

This sitemap file NEEDS to be called pjw_home.sitemap.

5

Thx. worked.

By homebuilder, is it possible to continue the definitions of this sitemap?

TIA

6

Sorry, never worked with Home Builder, I would have to read the documentation as well.

thx, i guess i will have to start all over again :sweat_smile:

for the initial install, i have an esp8266 device, recognized by mqtt server, but trying to find it, did not work.
I installed the mqtt bindings, but openhab seams not to find it.

1557345352: Saving in-memory database to /var/lib/mosquitto/mosquitto.db.

what could be wrong? sorry it it seams too basic, but as told, an absolute beginner on openhab and some of the docs are not so easy to understand.

TIA

openHAB is not an MQTT broker. If you have mosquitto running, you need to point your openHAB MQTT binding at mosquitto.

9

Yes, i have it.

MQTT Binding binding-mqtt - 2.4.0 UNINSTALL

Configuration > Bindings > MQTT Thing Binding

Supported Things
Generic MQTT Thing

Have it all… but the thing is not being discovered

TIA

10

I think(!) that the automatic discovery in version 2.4 has isses, the author always suggest to go for the 2.5m1 Milestone version.

11

Thx. Shall i delete current and install 2.5m1?

12

An update should also be possible, depends on your actual Setup.

13

Thx! updated: openHAB 2.5.0.M1 Milestone Build

And still not discovering my esp device.

i go to inbox, +, MQTT Binding, but nothing is discovered.

Under services, i have:

MQTT Embedded Broker

org.eclipse.smarthome.mqttembeddedbroker

MQTT system broker connection

org.eclipse.smarthome.mqttbroker

14

For mqtt to work, you need a mqtt broker. That could be the embedded one or an external one like mosquitto.

15

yes, i have the mqtt broker (mosquitto) already installed, and it talks to my thing - 1557423113: Saving in-memory database to /var/lib/mosquitto/mosquitto.db.
1557424914: Saving in-memory database to /var/lib/mosquitto/mosquitto.db.
1557425022: Client ESPClient_EC:FA:BC:23:87:DC disconnected.
1557425029: New connection from 192.168.1.5 on port 1883.

16

If the mqtt binding is installed, the next step would be to create a mqtt broker thing which establishes the connection between mosquitto and openhab.
After that either the autodicovery should work or you could create the Generic mqtt things.

I used the later only, so this is how far I could guide you.

17

Also have it created as thing:

Configuration > Things > MQTT Broker

delete close edit

MQTT Broker

MQTT Broker

A connection to a MQTT broker

Status: ONLINE

18

Then you are set for the next step as written above

19

I am just learning MQTT with OH2 at the moment and i do recall reading in the documentation for this binding [HERE] that auto discovery only works for MQTT Homie and HomeAssistant bindings.
I am using a generic MQTT thing and i have to set it up manually.

20

Good point, I was probably in false impression that Paulo used one of those.
