OpenHab Telnet

[kbd...@gmail.com]

Hi

I am new to openhab. but it seems to be a fantastic and very promising platform. so thanks for all the efforts so far

as to the TCP protocol, I am using it to telnet into a control board. the command to turn on a relay is : 'Set Relay 1 ON' or 'Set Relay 1 OFF'

my question is 2 folds:
1- how to send the command string:  the documenttion mentions this example:

{ tcp=">[ON:192.168.0.1:3000:'Set Relay 1 ON'], >[OFF:192.168.0.1:3000:'Set Relay 1 OFF']" }

should i include the ' around the string or should " be used -  or maybe none?!

2- i need to authenticate first. but if i set up the board to skip authentication, then i need to wait for a null to be received

openremote would allow something like: null|'Set Relay 1 OFF'
which means: connect -> wait for null -> send 'Set Relay 1 OFF'

what is the best way to do it on open hab?

thanks

update:how do i verify that the tcpip addon was loaded?

[khome]

in console press enter to get prompt >

then enter 

>ss tcp

openhab should ansver with some number, binding name and the word ACTIVE

thanks for the repl.

any ideas?

thanks

Are you sure that you have copied the binding into the addons folder?

Kai

I followed the standard setp instructions. and I installed the demo, which is working fine. but seems that the system is not load tcp bundle

thanks

[Kai Kreuzer]

I do not even see the http binding in there - its name is org.openhab.binding.http.

If you do a "ss openhab.binding" you should see all installed bindings listed.

Note that the tcp binding is not part of the demo package - so you have to manually add it from the addons.zip.

isn't org.openhab.binding.tcp-1.1.0.jar the right tcp binding jar?

it is already in the addons dir. and it was added from the addons.zip file

thanks

[Kai Kreuzer]

Yes, this looks ok.

Could you start openHAB in debug mode (start_debug.bat) and send the log file from the startup?

Regards,

Kai

hmmm.

osgi> ss openhab.binding

"Framework is launched."


id      State       Bundle

clearly an ss openhab.binding returns nothing in my case. despite that the http & tcp packages are in the addons dir already.

so the problem seems to be not specific to the tcp bundle but is rather that openhab is not seing any bindings in the addons dir.

could it be a path issue on windows?

thanks

Thanks, this only shows that it indeed does not load anything from the addons folder :-(

This is very strange indeed. I could only imagine some access right or path problems.

Does it maybe work if you move your openHAB installation to the C: drive, e.g. into C:\Users\kbdeir?

Kai

Sorry but same thing 

Does not work 

Thanks

I am sorry to report that it does not work even from a different directory

I am automating a villa. I am stuck between openhab and openremote

I am more keen to get openhab working. I think it is better especially the group functionality 

And the modularity.

In this case, I am getting the same problems on 2 pcs and a raspberry pi

They are all not working

So please, I really appreciate your help as I need to decide on one of them really soon

Thanks

Hi,

From my personal perspective, I would say that openHAB is definitely the better choice ;-). Although your current problem casts a damning light on it… I really haven't heard of such a problem so far.

Do I get you right that you experience the same problem on the RaspPi as well? So it is nothing related to Windows then.

May I ask you to try out the latest snapshot version from https://openhab.ci.cloudbees.com/job/openHAB/?

Another thing to check is if the Felix FileInstall bundles is running (as this is the one that observes the addons folder and dynamically adds the found bundles to the runtime). You can do so by typing "ss fileinstall" - it should show "ACTIVE".

Best regards,

Kai

Thanks for the reply.
it seems to be running now.  I ran the latest build snapshot as advised. I will now try to access my board through telnet and will let you know  how it goes.
this is the output from the console:

Again,

Yhank you.

I am now able to control my boards.

I will let you know how the project goes.

Regards

[Khodor Bdeir]

Okay, so the connection is up running, thanks for that again, but I have one more question left:

After opening the connection and sending the command, I'm supposed to receive a reply from my board.

 I opened up a new string entry in the menu, and tried the direct approach through:

String reply "Status" (location in the menu)  { tcp="<[192.168.2.195:23]" } 

But that ended in failure so I tried the same thing but with inserting another command like so:

String reply "Status" (location in the menu)  { tcp=">[192.168.2.195:23:'RSts:1'], <[192.168.2.195:23]" } 

And that also failed so any ideas?

Ok,I have been trying to query the status of the hardware for 6 hours now with no success.

I thought it will be simple. I any one has some reading material then it would be great. it seems the documentation is very minimal in this case.

the task is simple:
1-connect to the board through telnet : 192.168.2.195:23
send command:'RSts:1' to query the status of the first relay
the board answers by 'on' or 'off'

I have been strugling to determine the initial state of the relay. because the relay (or light) is not always controlled through openhab, its status may change as a result of someone turning it on manually. so the interface should query the hardware status frequently or at least once the interface is first launched.

any ideas, or reading material is much appreciated.

Thanks

What Domotica are you using, looks like Easyplus?
