Will there be a "Bosch Smart Home" binding?

Hi,

i’m new here and was about to ask exactly the same question :slight_smile:

I got my BSH Controller yesterday. Pairing with OH seems to work fine, for i can see the OH in the list of mobile-devices in the App. But anyway the Bridge remains “UNKNOWN: Press pairing button on the Bosch Smart Home Controller.”

Any ideas on how to solve it?

PS: Maybe an SSL Issue?

best regards

i’ve just tried with the OH4M4. Controller is Online and seems to work properly.
so it definitely looks like the REST Api Version caused the problem.

it would be great if someone could port back the fix to the stable 3.4.x, as i face a number of issues in 4M4, especially with the Viesmann Binding

best regards

It’s already backported and will be included in next 3.4.x release scheduled for (probably end of) July. Perhaps @davidpace can make a JAR available?

I can build a 3.4.5-SNAPSHOT jar for the Bosch SHC binding containing the fix, but I wonder if there is a more elegant way than a local build on my machine. Do you have build jobs that can build the 3.4.x branch so the JAR ends up in the JFrog repository, for example? If not, is there a standardized way to make JARs available? And how can users deploy -SNAPSHOT JARs in their 3.4 installation?

Hi,

it would be great if you could provide a JAR file either through Artifactory or somewhere else for a download.

openhab> bundle:update [BundleID] [URL.jar]
will do the trick

is this file still available? I get an 404 file not found error

hm … still works for me …

try this one: JFrog

great, many thanks for your support! :star_struck:

Just signed in because i have the same problem.

The Link isnt working. Only Version 4.0.0 is online.

What i am doing wrong?

hmm, now it worked. Thanks.

At work today I noted that my BSH controller got updated automatically. When I came home, I couldn’t operate the blinds anymore and saw that the binding seemed to be broken. A view into the release notes of the Bosch update revealed that they changed the API access.
I thought a good part of my home automation was broken now, until I found this thread. So I upgraded my openHAB from 3.4.2 to 3.4.4 and added the jar @laursen made available. After a few minutes everything was up and running again.
Thanks for the great work and such an active community.

All credit goes to @davidpace and @GerdZanker for taking over the maintenance of this binding and providing many improvements recently. See for example:

FYI, not sure if it’s interesting for you, but zigbee2mqtt now has compatibility with the zigbee Bosch home devices. Including my favorite motion sensor with IR.

Meaning, hypothetically, you can remove your devices from the gateway and add them directly to zigbee2mqtt. Then from there loop it to OH with mqtt :slight_smile:

Local control for the win :slight_smile:
