Velbus glass panel button

[MDAR (Stuart Hanlon, UK importer of Velbus hardware)]

But I can’t monitor a press of a button in openhab. I want to control

Hi

Do you want to monitor these button events in DSL rules or NodeRed?

Either is possible.

A DSL rule might look like this

rule "button event"

when

Channel 'velbus:vmbgp2xxxx:xxxxxxxx:xx:ch3' triggered PRESSED // from the channel information of the Velbus Thing (rather than an Item, because Channel Triggers can not be linked to Items

then

// Your commands, which can include feedback led signalling to the Velbus glass panel

end

Node-RED as Alternative Rule Engine

@BrutalBirdie Hi Did you ever find a solution to this issue? I would like to be able to use Channel trigger data in NodeRed flows too. Something like this Channel 'velbus:vmbgpod:d212bf44:2C:input#CH1' triggered or Channel 'velbus:vmbgpod:d212bf44:2C:input#CH2' triggered or Channel 'velbus:vmbgpod:d212bf44:2C:input#CH3' triggered or Channel 'velbus:vmbgpod:d212bf44:2C:input#CH4' triggered Where the possible states are RELEASED PRESSED LONG_PRESSED The only thing I can think of so fa…

Node-RED as Alternative Rule Engine

That’s truly fabulous Thank you so much I’ll post my working statement for others to work from. Cheers Stuart UPDATE So the && (AND Condition) in the IF statements didn’t work for me, but with a switch node after the IF Function, I can see the three different states from the Velbus buttons. The premis is that there are Virtual switches in openHAB2 that can be set in the UI or Voice Commands etc Each Scene switches OFF the other scene switches and set out ITE…

Virtual relais Velbus

On my garagedoor i have a reed switch that’s connected to a VMB7IN. When the garagedoor opens i activate a virtual relais. In the Velbus app on the computer this is working. In Openhab i don’t see the action when the door op open. This is my config: in default.sitemap: Switch item=OpenToe icon=“opentoe” label=“Poort Open/Toe” in default.items: Switch OpenToe “Poort Open/Toe” (garage) {channel=“velbus:vmb4ryno:089ad7e2:F1:CH5”} The virtual relais is on F1 channel 5 in Velbus config applica…

Elegant Push Buttons

If button events are the only thing that is required, then that’s a great suggestion. There is a universal Velbus module that provides that functionality. [image] If your selected switches have LEDs in them, this unit will supply the 1v to drive them With ambient intensity and feedback states. These units also include the standard Velbus time events programming too, for simulating button presses. 2 pairs of changeable alarm ti…

It’s very possible to use two Velbus buttons to control volume, making use of the LONG_PRESS & RELEASE triggers
