[SOLVED] OpenHAB2 exec Binding

Aimen06 · September 29, 2019, 6:22pm

I have installed exec binding this afternoon reboot and it’s the same thing

You will understand my doubts now. Show us - screenshot please.

What does your exec Thing look like in PaperUI?

Aimen06 · September 29, 2019, 6:46pm

Ok this is the screenshot

rossko57 · September 29, 2019, 6:47pm

Okay, that’s good.

rossko57 · September 29, 2019, 7:05pm

Nope, those are Items. Please see my example screensho a few posts up for an exec Thing.
PaperUI > Configuration > Things
gives you a list.
Click for more - it’ll show you channels
Click the pencil icon - see the setting from your xxx.things file

Aimen06 · September 29, 2019, 7:28pm

sorry ok

rossko57 · September 29, 2019, 7:36pm

Okay, that’s good. We’ve come a long way in a week.

For completeness, can we also see the channels for that Thing (previous screen)

Next, can we see events.log in response to UI clicking, since you installed the binding.

Aimen06 · September 29, 2019, 8:18pm

Ok

Your exec script is still not attempting to run; we can tell this because you don’t see a message in events.log about your run Item Remote_Send changing to ON.

So we now have a binding, a good looking Thing with channels. we have Items that get commands. Nothing we have seen so far confirms any actual link between your Items and channels.

Please show us the current version of your powerplug.items file

Then try this; edit your Items file, maybe add a space and take it out again, then save it.
Please show us openhab.log and events.log for that.

Aimen06 · September 29, 2019, 9:01pm

Ok the item i have added a blank space

/etc/openhab2/items/powerplugs.items

Switch Power_Plug_Socket_B
Switch Remote_Send { channel="exec:command:remote_send:run" }
String Remote_Send_Args { channel="exec:command:remote_send:input" }
String Remote_Send_Out { channel="exec:command:remote_send:output" }

rossko57 · September 29, 2019, 9:31pm

Okay, the items file loads without error. But we still have no evidence of links to channels.

In your karaf console, please try
smarthome:links list
and show results

Aimen06 · September 29, 2019, 9:42pm

Hi
It works know i have reboot the raspberry pi
Many thanks rossko57 for the time you spent to explain me

douggutaby · November 18, 2019, 2:49pm

Hi,

Can anyone tell me how can I print line break with exec binding? I run a script and echo a few lines in a for loop. I present the output for example on habpanel. I tried to print \n and
at the end of the lines, but these are not working.

rossko57 · November 18, 2019, 3:05pm

Exec binding doesn’t print anything.
Is your question “how do I embed a line break in a string for habpanel to display?”

douggutaby · November 18, 2019, 3:14pm

how do I embed a line break in a string for habpanel to display?

rossko57 · November 18, 2019, 4:11pm

I don’t know. You might want to start an HABpanel thread. What widget are you using, does it support multiline text?
