[SOLVED] Check if Shelly device is online?

[Hubschra01]

Hello…
Is it possible to check if a Shelly device is online?

I am using Openhab 2.5.3 with an MQTT broker. The Shellies send their MQTT messages to the broker.
When i turn on the shellies sends
/ shellies / device / online: true

I am using some shelly plugs and want to know if the plug is offline and display it via sitemap.

How do i manage this?

Thanks
Andre

Network binding.

Shelly binding with things created.

I think your solution is to ping the Shelly device every x minutes? But how do this work on more than 6 Plug devices? Must i create for each device a rule or something else?
And how is the evaluation by a rule?
Do you have an example?

@hmerk
How does it work?
I create an mqtt.thing for the Devices and switch on the Mqtt feature in the Shelly. Will the Mqtt and Shelly Binding work together? I work with the Files and not with the PaperUI…

You can put all your pingable Items in a Group, and trigger one rule from the Group.
What do you want to happen when one goes offline?

[SOLVED] Intelligent Rule for E-mail notification for online/offline devices

OH 2.4 on RasPI using Openhabian. Hm - I hope that is the best title here. So basically I want to get an E-Mail when the status of an item representing a device being online/offline. The items for that are defined as follows: //Online status of switches / plugs Switch Plug_Garden_TerraceLeft_Ping "Steckdose Terrasse links [MAP(network.map):%s]" <zwaveonline> (gDeviceOnlineState) Switch Illumination_GroundFloor_LivingRoom_Ping "Licht Wohnzimmer [MAP(network.map):%s]" <zwaveonline>…

If you use the Shelly Binding, there is no need to use MQTT for them at all. But both would work parallell. You can configure the Shelly binding Things via config files as well.
Using the Shelly Binding, you can create a rule to check if the Thing is ONLINE or OFFLINE.

I want to display it on a sitemap of the Device by a color changing point
red for offline
green for online
to make status visible.

@Hubschra01

I want to display it on a sitemap of the Device by a color changing point

Okay, so have your rule postUpdate the text to some Item
Display the Item using colour options -
https://www.openhab.org/docs/configuration/sitemaps.html#label-and-value-colors

[hmerk (Hans-Jörg Merk)]

I have done this myself and will post an example later tonight or tomorrow.
It is not that difficult.

1. Create dummy items to hold the state.
2. Create a rule for each thing you want to monitor, triggered by change to offline and post update to according dummy item.
3. Create Sitemap entrys with visibility pattern.

[hmerk (Hans-Jörg Merk)]

Ok, here we go:

Things:

Thing shelly:shelly2-roller:559470 "Dachfenster" @ "Arbeitszimmer" [ deviceIp="192.168.0.180", coap="true", eventsRelayButton="false", eventsRelaySwitch="false", eventsCoIoT="true" ]
Thing shelly:shellyflood:68fa6f "WasserSchaden" @ "Waschküche" [ deviceIp="192.168.0.187", coap="true", eventsSensorReport="false", eventsCoIoT="true" ]

Dummy-Items and Group:

Group:Switch:OR(OFF, ON) 	DeviceHealth	"Gerätestatus [(%d)]"	<status>	(All)

Switch FloodLaundryHealth		"Shelly Flood Waschküche"		(DeviceHealth)
Switch ShellyWindowOfficeHealth		"Fensterantrieb Arbeitszimmer"		(DeviceHealth)

Map-Transformation "health.map"

OFF=OFFLINE
ON=ONLINE
NULL=undefiniert

Rules

val mailActions = getActions("mail","mail:smtp:xxxx")
rule "ONLINE/OFFLINE Alert"
	when
		Member of DeviceHealth changed
	then
		if (triggeringItem.state == OFF) {
			var message = triggeringItem.label + " ist OFFLINE"
			//sendBroadcastNotification(triggeringItem.label + " ist OFFLINE")
			mailActions.sendMail("xxx@xxx.dd", "openHAB Gerätealarm", message)
		}
end

rule "Dachfensterantrieb Arbeitszimmer Health"
	when
		Thing "shelly:shelly2-roller:559470" changed
		then
			var message = "Shelly Dachfensterantrieb ist " + getThingStatusInfo("shelly:shelly2-roller:559470").getStatus.toString()
			logInfo("shelly2-roller:559470", message)
			if (getThingStatusInfo("shelly:shelly2-roller:559470").getStatus.toString() == "ONLINE") {
			ShellyWindowOfficeHealth.sendCommand(ON)
			} else {
			ShellyWindowOfficeHealth.sendCommand(OFF)
			}
end
rule "ShellyFlood Health"
	when
		Thing "shelly:shellyflood:68fa6f" changed
		then
			var message = "ShellyFlood ist " + getThingStatusInfo("shelly:shellyflood:68fa6f").getStatus.toString()
			logInfo("shellyflood:68fa6f", message)
			if (getThingStatusInfo("shelly:shellyflood:68fa6f").getStatus.toString() == "ONLINE") {
			FloodLaundryHealth.sendCommand(ON)
			} else {
			FloodLaundryHealth.sendCommand(OFF)
			}
end

Sitemap, showing Status if at least one Thing is offline

Group item=DeviceHealth label="Geräte Alarme" icon="status" visibility=[ DeviceHealth==OFF]{
	Text item=FloodLaundryHealth label="ShellyFlood Waschküche [MAP(health.map):%s]" icon="status" visibility=[ FloodLaundryHealth==OFF]
	Text item=ShellyWindowOfficeHealth label="Dachfenster Arbeitszimmer [MAP(health.map):%s]" icon="status" visibility=[ ShellyWindowOfficeHealth==OFF]
}

Alternative Sitemap, showing status all the time :

Text item=FloodLaundryHealth label="ShellyFlood Waschküche [MAP(health.map):%s]" icon="status" valuecolor=[OFF="red"] visibility=[ FloodLaundryHealth==OFF] 
Text item=FloodLaundryHealth label="ShellyFlood Waschküche [MAP(health.map):%s]" icon="status" valuecolor=[ON="green"] visibility=[ FloodLaundryHealth==ON]
Text item=ShellyWindowOfficeHealth label="Dachfenster Arbeitszimmer [MAP(health.map):%s]" icon="status" valuecolor=[OFF="red"] visibility=[ ShellyWindowOfficeHealth==OFF]
Text item=ShellyWindowOfficeHealth label="Dachfenster Arbeitszimmer [MAP(health.map):%s]" icon="status" valuecolor=[ON="green"] visibility=[ ShellyWindowOfficeHealth==ON]

Thanks. I will give this an try and report the result…

Hi Hans-Jörg,
I notice in your examples here as well as in the “Shelly Binding” thread, that you have additional coap="true" in your thing definitions, e.g:

@hmerk

Thing shelly:shellyflood:68fa6f “WasserSchaden” @ “Waschküche” [ deviceIp=“192.168.0.187”, coap=“true”, eventsSensorReport=“false”, eventsCoIoT=“true” ]

What is this needed for? Isn’t eventCoIoT="true" sufficient already?

[hmerk (Hans-Jörg Merk)]

This is just a leftover and can be igored, doesn‘t harm either.
It was needed before Markus made it a default.

[curlyel]

O.k. makes sense.
Thanks for clarifying!

[Hubschra01]

Hi I solved this problem with your help. Thanks! For anybody how search for something similar here my solution:
I use the Networkbinding and do a ping from this binding.

The network.things:

network:pingdevice:1_device "PlugS-01" [ hostname="192.168.xxx.yyy", retry=1, timeout=5000, refreshInterval=60000 ]
network:pingdevice:2_device "PlugS-02" [ hostname="192.168.xxx.yyy", retry=1, timeout=5000, refreshInterval=60000 ]
network:pingdevice:3_device "PlugS-03" [ hostname="192.168.xxx.yyy", retry=1, timeout=5000, refreshInterval=60000 ]
network:pingdevice:4_device "PlugS-04" [ hostname="192.168.xxx.yyy", retry=1, timeout=5000, refreshInterval=60000 ]
network:pingdevice:5_device "PlugS-05" [ hostname="192.168.xxx.yyy", retry=1, timeout=5000, refreshInterval=60000 ]
network:pingdevice:6_device "PlugS-06" [ hostname="192.168.xxx.yyy", retry=1, timeout=5000, refreshInterval=60000 ]

Here The network.items

Group:Switch:OR(OFF, ON) 	DeviceHealth	"Gerätestatus [(%d)]"	<status>	(All)

Switch 1_device		"online"		(DeviceHealth) { channel = " network:pingdevice:1_device:online " }
Switch 2_device		"online"		(DeviceHealth) { channel = " network:pingdevice:2_device:online " }
Switch 3_device		"online"		(DeviceHealth) { channel = " network:pingdevice:3_device:online " }
Switch 4_device		"online"		(DeviceHealth) { channel = " network:pingdevice:4_device:online " }
Switch 5_device		"online"		(DeviceHealth) { channel = " network:pingdevice:5_device:online " }
Switch 6_device		"online"		(DeviceHealth) { channel = " network:pingdevice:6_device:online " }

The net_status.rules
aktually there is only a Info in the Logfile written. later more…

rule "ONLINE/OFFLINE Alert"
	when
		Member of DeviceHealth changed
	then
		if (triggeringItem.state == OFF) {
			var message = triggeringItem.name + " ist OFFLINE"
			logInfo("RULE", "--> Geräte status: "+ message)
		}
		if (triggeringItem.state == ON) {
			var message = triggeringItem.name + " ist ONLINE"
			logInfo("RULE", "--> Geräte status: "+ message)
		}
end
