#openhab — Public Fediverse posts

Ha! Der letzte Urlaubstag war ein guter:

✅ Integration #KNX in #HomeAssistant via Gateway
✅ Erster Test mit LED-Reihe im Wohnzimmer

Die sündhaftteure KNX-Installation durch den #Elektriker aus 2014 endlich anzubinden, war seit Jahren ein offenes Todo. Mit HomeAssistant war es eigentlich gar kein Problem. Mein erster Versuch mit #openHAB vor 7 Jahren war weniger erfolgreich, kann aber auch an mir gelegen haben. In der Ruhe liegt die Kraft...

Jetzt habe ich Zugriff auf alle Bus-Systeme im Haus (KNX und #Zigbee ). KNX bringt alle Rolladen, Steckdosen und Schalter im Erdgeschoss. Der Rest des Jahres wird nicht langweilig.

@messieass es empfiehlt sich so oder so, auf eine lokale Lösung umzustellen. @evcc oder #openEMS bieten dafür Lösungen an. Wahlweise integrierbar in eine Hausautomatisierung #openHAB #homeassistant #iobroker #fhem etc...

Ich tendiere zu uWR, die ich dann per #openDTU auslese. Speicherbatterie mache ich nachgelagert, bspw mit #Victron.

@evcc habe ich als #EMS in Planung, das ich dann in #openHAB einbinden will.

Fragen über Fragen: Kann #evcc mit mehreren uWR klarkommen? Wir haben mehrere Unterzähler im Haus, klappt das? Worauf sollte ich bei Wahl der #Wärmepumpe achten? SGready ausreichend? ...

OpenHAB lost all my settings. There was a notice about persistence plugins, three were selected and I was supposed to configure them, but I forgot about them since they were not mentioned at all in the guides I used. I did not expect that I have to do anything to have it save my config, wtf. The folders exist, it just seems to have cleared them all on next startup.

@wildrikku Good job. You can find help on the forum. The #openhab community doesn't seem to be very active on the Fediverse. – Someone proof me wrong, pls. 😀

I now own three and not one Zigbee LED and so I am trying out OpenHAB. The devs did a great job of holding a new user's hand, but oh wow is it necessary to hold hands, setting up a thing like this is not trivial and even though I survived the quick start assistant, I now get a simple "communication failed", my command does nothing and the log I found does not even mention it.

Huch, mein #OpenHAB hat fast zwei Wochen keine Daten von der #Wärmepumpe emfangen und ich hab es nicht bemerkt 😳

Ich muss mir dringend einen Sensor programmieren, der mir bei ausgefallenen Things einen Alarm zusendet.

Schwiegermutter heute: "Bekomme ich dann auch so Copmuter-Heizungsdinger wie ihr habt?"

Sie meint elektronische Heizungsthermostate, Fensterkontakte und #openHAB

Ich hab da auch schon mal drüber nachgedacht. Allerdings wird das System (EQ3 Max!) das wir haben nicht mehr hergestellt. Muss mal nach einem Cloud-Freien Nachfolger-System suchen.

Ok, Fortschritt. Ich hab jetzt dank https://dongle.sonoff.tech/guide/zbdongle-e/connecting_to_openhab/ und nachdem ich den Port in /etc/default/openhab explizit als /dev/ttyUSB0 angegeben habe, einen funktionierenden "Ember Coordinator" und meine Fernbedienung und die Leuchte als Things. UND der Ember ist "online"!
Die Leuchte hängt allerdings auf "Node has not completed discovery" und ich finde nicht heraus, worans hängt ...

Ideen?

#OpenHab #HomeAutomation #Zigbee

So, meine ersten Schitte in Sachen #OpenHab waren nicht so erfolgreich. OpenHabian installiert, läuft (zugegeben auf nem RPI 3B) eher zäh, aber läuft. Zigbee Bridge installiert. Dort dann den Sonoff Zigbee Dongle - E (!) als Controller hinzugefügt, der steht allerdings dauerhaft auf "Initializing". Und dauernd muss ich rebooten, damit Dinge umgesetzt werden.

An zigbee2mqtt hab ich mich noch nicht gewagt, da müsste ich den Stick wohl mit Firmware flashen ...

An die SmartHome Bubble:
Hatte gestern ne Deckenleuchte getestet (andere Größe, aber sonst die hier: https://www.globus-baumarkt.de/p/eglo-led-deckenleuchte-moradillo-z-schwarz-60-x-60-cm-rgb-dimmbar-0773181744/), sehr ernüchternd. Lampe ließ sich nur mit App und Account steuern, auch nur wenn GPS aktiv. Fernbedienung bekam ich gar nicht zum laufen.

Gibts für solche Geräte andere Lösungen? Muss man da gleich OpenHab aufsetzen, und wenn ja, wie? Ich will eigentlich nur ne gute LED-Leuchte mir RGB.

Openhab von 5.0 auf 5.1 upgegradet. ✅

Ärgere mich wieder einmal über die nutzlosen Fehlermeldungen. "Wir haben unsere Anforderungen geändert, deshalb musst du deinen Code ändern, aber ätschi-bätsch, wir sagen dir nicht was oder wo!"

Der Interpreter stolpert ja über eine bestimmte Skriptzeile, was die Meldung auslöst. Ist es wirklich so unmöglich, dabei die Nummer der Zeile in die Meldung mitzunehmen? 🤦

#openhab

nach unendlich langer Zeit habe ich #openhab bei mir installiert und alles eingebunden, was irgendwie Daten liefert. Meine PV und besonders den Viessmann KW200 Gaskessel mit Solarthermie. Am Kessel läuft ein Raspi mit mqtt, der die Werte via vcontrold und einem Optolink an Openhab sendet. Funktioniert perfekt (bis auf das instabile WLAN am Raspi) und ich konnte so ziemlich einfach die Heizkurve optimieren, ohne dass wir frieren müssen. Als nächstes kommt die Solarthermie hinzu (KM-Bus)

IME, a lot of good information on how to achieve things with the #OpenHAB Rules DSL requires good searching on the OpenHAB forums or mining through the Javadoc.

I thought I'd use Claude over the weekend/last night to help generify some stuff in my config, and it suggested a cool approach whereby I could put metadata against items and then use that metadata in my rules to customise behaviour.

It's also described here: https://forum.aqara.com/t/exploring-openhabs-rule-design-with-metadata-for-enhanced-flexibility/20956

Unfortunately, Claude seems to have just completely made up how to _read_ the metadata (validated against the Javadoc). It then proposed an alternative approach, which again seemed reasonable - but completely made up (again, validated against the Javadoc).

Trying a third time got it to say:

> Let me check what's actually available in OpenHAB for accessing metadata from rules

...and then:

> Unfortunately, accessing item metadata from Rules DSL is quite limited in OpenHAB. The documentation confirms that "Metadata can be added and removed, but not read" from Rules DSL

I know none of this is news; but... yeesh.

I had an insane push this weekend to get #HestiaPi & #OpenHAB to be compatible with a heat pump HVAC system. I'm testing it by running LEDs through the relays to see when they flip on.

I have one prototype that I manually configured. I have the basics down: heating, cooling, ruining the fan, 2-stages for both heating and cooling.

Next up, boosting and tons of regression testing. I rewrote huge parts of many of the roles and made serious logic/flow changes.

I need sleep too!

Re-sharing publicly my fun #openHAB rule to have my microwave's clock always set to the right time by briefly cutting its power at midnight every night.

Tomorrow we'll see if it works 😅

The house didn't properly wake up this morning, so that needs debugging today.

It seems there were some changes/fixes to groups in #OpenHAB, so it could be that (maybe).

This morning I upgraded #OpenHAB from 2.5 to 4.3. Mostly things are working. Mostly.

I also tried to use `adb` to disable background stuff like Alexa on our #Philips #AndroidTV - if nothing else to try and get the Channel 4 app working reliably.

It is not better 😡 - happily shows adverts but then crashes when it gets to the programme proper.

I have a much better opinion of #musicassistant. It's still very buggy but in this case I can understand. Media streaming is complex and messy, I think the Music Assistant developers are doing a good job overall. I wish it had better integration with #openHAB. I guess I'll have to take care of that myself.

I honestly don't understand why people like #homeassistant so much. It's confusing, full of limitations, it literally runs random Python code it finds in the MQTT broker without asking (https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/mqtt/#value_template), but most importantly...

How can you stand the level of enshittification it has reached? They make everything so hard to do locally unless you buy their hardware and their shitty cloud based subscription.

I really do not understand how it came to be this popular.

I get that #openhab uses more memory and it has a bit of a learning curve to set up, but so does Home Assistant! It would take me an entire weekend to sort that awful dashboard in Home Assistant, and I've already hit a brick wall trying to get my Garmin smartwatch to control HA.

Please, people, I beg you, give openHAB a shot. It's a great, well designed project, built by an organization that is *actually* not for profit (https://www.openhab.org/imprint.html). It's already great, let's make it more popular, attract contributors and make it even better.

Linux Box Dev Edition brings Armbian Linux with Home Assistant support

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://linuxgizmos.com/linux-box-dev-edition-brings-armbian-linux-with-home-assistant-support/

Four weeks (One Month) since #HomeAssistant published their intent to deprecate http.server_host for all installation types, because it doesn't spark joy (apparently breaks Supervised Backups, I don't know) for them.

https://github.com/home-assistant/core/issues/157961

There have been _zero_ responses by Home Assistant team members.
I'm contemplating moving away to #OpenHAB.

My #openHab instance has started throwing 401 errors for `strict-origin-when-cross-origin` without me to my knowledge changing anything.
I'm using a #nginx reverse proxy, and I'm having trouble figuring out if nginx or openHab itself are generating the 401 errors.
And unless I don't understand this at all, the origins are correct

#openhab Wechsel von Raspberry zu Debian VM hat keine 5 Minuten gedauert, dank openhabian Backup. Damit hab ich nicht gerechnet 🔝

Plus: openhab 5 schleift soviele Ecken und Kanten, dass es mittlerweile grandios einfach ist, ein "smartes Home" ohne Datenschutzprobleme oder Vendor-Lockins zu haben 👍
