[SOLVED] Since switch to OH 2 simple On off rule does not work anymore

wizzo · November 7, 2018, 8:19pm

Platform information:
- Hardware: CPUArchitecture/RAM/storage
- OS: what OS is used and which version
- Java Runtime Environment: JDK 8.192
- openHAB version: 2.3.0
Issue of the topic: FIBARO RGBW controller and wall switch. Rule does work if Basic UI sitch is used but not if the wall switch is pressed. the event triggered on the logs is the same

Item ‘EsZi_Lampe_Dimmer’ received command ON

but if it is triggered by the wall switch it does not execute the rule. Also the virtual “basic ui switch” is not changed to on. If the wall switch is pressed. It was working 3 years with OH 1 without any issue. And I do not have any idea anymore. Tried it also with if item changed from OFF to ON or from 0 to 100. Same results
Anybody and idea suggestion?

Thx in advance

Michael

Have you tried setting the association group 5 to Controller?

opus · November 7, 2018, 8:39pm

@OMR I can only guess, but this looks like the new experimental Rules! The OP was using standard rules Files!
@wizzo try removing the 'singles quotes around the item name in the when part of the rules. Additionally you can add logInfo statements in the rule in order to get a feedback if the rule is started or not.

OMR · November 7, 2018, 8:42pm

Ehh, no. It’s the Association setting for the device in PaperUI.
Looks like this in habmin:

fibu-freak · November 7, 2018, 9:57pm

Try it without the simple quotes for the “Item” in your rules like this

rule "Esszimmerlampe einschalten"
when
        Item EsZi_Lampe_Dimmer received command ON
then
        sendCommand(EsZi_Lampe_Gruen, 100)
		sendCommand(EsZi_Lampe_Weiss, 25)
		sendCommand(EsZi_Lampe_Blau, 25)
end

rule "Esszimmerlampe ausschalten"
when
        Item EsZi_Lampe_Dimmer received command OFF
then
        sendCommand(EsZi_Lampe_Rot, OFF)
        sendCommand(EsZi_Lampe_Blau, OFF)
		sendCommand(EsZi_Lampe_Gruen, OFF)
		sendCommand(EsZi_Lampe_Weiss, OFF)
end

Maybe that’s a solution

rossko57 · November 7, 2018, 11:46pm

Quotes here never has been correct, but OH2 is less forgiving about requiring correct formats.

As an addition to that -

Slider item=EsZi_Lampe_Dimmer label="Weiss" icon="Light" ...

your icons should have lowercase file names, so for consistency you’d want to use lowercase in the Sitemap as well. I don’t know if it could cause any actual problems though.

A rule triggered by command to Item never would have been triggered by a wall switch event, even in OH1. Maybe the rule wasn’t necessary in that case

I’m fairly sure that should work with a Dimmer Item as you expect. Try refreshing the webpage, to make sure it isn’t just a refresh issue.

wizzo · November 8, 2018, 7:18pm

Hi Thx a lot for all the replys.

@fibu-freak I forgot to mention that I laso tried it without the quotes. Same thing.

@rossko57 If I use the wall switch it also triggers the “comand ON” at kleast thats visible in the logs so my assumpütion is that it would also execute the rule, anmd it was definitely workign in OH 1 as I was using it 3 years. On Rasperry and on windows install. as the rulke is turnming on additional RGB LEDs.
I will give the “dimmer” a try and see if that changes anything.

@OMR Do I need to use HABmin to get that sorted…I know I did a lot with Habmin in OH1 but I thought the items and the rules is streight forward

I will give the “dimmer” a try and see if that changes anything. Keep you updated.

Keep you updated.
Thx a lot

wizzo · November 8, 2018, 7:26pm

Hi, the item is a dimmer object, but that does not do any differnce. Regardless if I use a dimmer or a switch

OMR · November 8, 2018, 8:09pm

It won’t do, if the controller doesn’t get the info from association group 5.
For test, I would do a:

tail -F /var/log/openhab2/events.log

just to see if the controller is registering the event from the dimmer item.

I recently had to set the association group 1 to Controller in all my Fibaro Dimmer2s in order to register local S1/S2 operations. I cannot test with the actual RGBW controller for you, since I don’t have any switches connected to it.

OMR · November 8, 2018, 8:16pm

I did post example of both PaperUI and Habmin. Take your pick

wizzo · November 8, 2018, 8:20pm

Where do I find those assoziation groups?

OMR · November 8, 2018, 8:31pm

In paperUI:

Try associating Group 5 with Controller.

In Habmin:

wizzo · November 8, 2018, 8:39pm

Thx a lot, that does triggger a lot mor reportings into the console (log) Is it possible to define a “state” like if somethign is chaning from 0 to >0 it is interpreted as on and if the value is changing from >0 to =0 it is hjandled as off?

wizzo · November 8, 2018, 8:48pm

Hi it does not save the reporting setting.

Do I need to select somethign for the IN 1

OMR · November 8, 2018, 8:50pm

I think you can assign both a Switch and a Dimmer to the switch_dimmer channel:

Example from an Ikea Trådfi item that was changed in order to comply with other OH2 items and the Eclipse SH framework:

Switch TradfriP5State             (kitchen, lights)      { channel = "tradfri:0220:gwb072bf25aee1:65585:brightness" }
Dimmer TradfriP5Bright            (kitchen)              { channel = "tradfri:0220:gwb072bf25aee1:65585:brightness" }

In your case:

Dimmer	EsZi_Lampe_Dimmer				"Esszimmerlampe Dimmer"		(gEsZiLampe)	{channel="zwave:device:daa8ab19:node3:switch_dimmer"}
Switch	EsZi_Lampe_Switch				"Esszimmerlampe Dimmer"		(gEsZiLampe)	{channel="zwave:device:daa8ab19:node3:switch_dimmer"}

Worth a try …

Also, during a test period, you could change the rule trigger to ‘received update’ and add a log line:

Example:

rule "Trumpet 4 - Effect"
when
    Item vBulbTrumpet4Effect received update
then
    logInfo("deconz", "vBulbTrumpet4Effect=" + vBulbTrumpet4Effect.state)
end

When you get that working, you will see what happens, and change back to trigger ‘changed’ etc…

gimme a few minutes :-D…isn´t there a chat function available?

OMR · November 8, 2018, 8:55pm

Known bug in paperUI. Just try again until it sticks.
If you don’t need reports from the 1-4 inputs, you are fine.
If you do, search the forum for detailed instructions.

wizzo · November 8, 2018, 8:56pm

I believe the “wall switch” is the IN1 so it should report to z-wave controller as well I assume
my HABmin does not save anythign either do I need to change something?

OMR · November 8, 2018, 8:58pm

Check:

wizzo · November 8, 2018, 8:59pm

found the stuff in habmin…lets see if that does any difference
