Hi!
I have a problem with my JeeLink / Lacrosse Sensors (TX29 with USB CUL).
Reading of temperature and humidity works veryl well.
Now I wanted to watch over the battery status of the sensors, but I dont get any updates from the sensors.
My lacrosse.items:
// Item Sensor 4
Number Sensor4Temp "Temperatur Schlafzimmer" <temperature> (Temperaturen) { channel="jeelink:lacrosse:2:temperature" }
Number Sensor4Hum "Luftfeuchtigkeit Schlafzimmer" <humidity> (Luftfeuchtigkeit) { channel="jeelink:lacrosse:2:humidity" }
Contact Sensor4BatLow "Schlafzimmer [MAP(lacrosse.map):%s]" (lacrossebatlow) {channel="jeelink:lacrosse:2:batteryLow"}
So the Battery Status is a Contact item, Battery low is âclosedâ and Battery OK schold be âopenâ
I created a corresponding map file (Leer means emtpy in GermanâŠ)
CLOSED=Leer
OPEN=OK
In my Sitemap I use text items as following:
Text item=Sensor4BatLow icon=âbatteryâ
In my sitemap the Item Sensro4BatLow is always shown as âleerâ / equals to âCLOSEDâ
So I first thought, that the battery is really empty. I replaced the battery with brand new loaded batteries, restartet OpenHAB and once again the Sensors changes from NULL to CLOSED after restart.
events.log looks like this:
2019-01-19 12:16:45.177 [vent.ItemStateChangedEvent] - Sensor4BatLow changed from NULL to CLOSED
I donât think, that the Sensor sends any lowbattery Update. It seems that OpenHAB after a restart just defaults to CLOSED.
Does anybody know if the TX29 sends a BatteryLow status in a specifics interval, or only if the battery really gets Low?
Iâve been watching the events.log file for 45 minutes and donât get any updates, so I assume there is no sending interval from the Sensors?
Any ides, suggestions or hints?
