Hello everyone,

I would like to introduce my youtube channel mainly focused on OPENHAB

DomoticsDuino - SMART HOME with OPENHAB...and other stuff

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSztTkb7J70

So I just upgraded my OpenHAB install to 4.2.2 on my raspberry pi 4 and I noticed that my time-based conditions were firing at the wrong times. I checked the frontal log viewer and found that the timestamps are all 7 hours ahead! I double-checked and even reset the timezones and then rebooted. I checked and confirmed that the time on the Raspberry Pi is correct, but the timestamps are still 7 hours ahead, and my conditions are still applying at the wrong times! Is this a known issue? Is there a way to fix this? Any ideas where else to check?

Hi All

I'm looking for a way to add or define a custom stylesheet for layout pages created in openhab.
I'm trying to create a interface that renders on a raspberry pi touch screen (720x480), with a complete custom design.

So far I've created a few custom widgets, but because everything is based on the framework7 components, a lot of styling is added to these elements that I don't need.

Is there a way to add a css file to the page, which would allow me to reset or overwrite a lot of the framework 7 styling (background colors, borders, spacings, shaders, ...) as well as define some custom variables (like for colors) to be used in different widgets etc.

There's also quite some difference in the design view (below), and the actual result (above):

Thx for any advice.

Hello everyone!

Here we are with yet another milestone for the openHAB 4.3.0!

GitHub release:
https://github.com/openhab/openhab-distro/releases/tag/4.3.0.M4

Community communication and discussion:

https://community.openhab.org/t/openhab-4-3-milestone-builds/158138/3

Make sure to check out the release details, there’s tons of binding updates, from mqtt. Homeassistant , Shelly, unify, hue, mikrotik and many others!

Hope this is of interest :)

Runs on esphome, fully local, sensor is working too though it looks like unless the fan is spinning it won’t keep polling data. (Which is fair. If you can’t ensure air is moving how can you be sure that the data is correct.) and the channels are fully recognized by the esphome binding too!

Hello

I'm looking for advice on how to integrate two 10 year old SMA-38000 inverters into OpenHAB. The inverters only do RS-485. I've read folks doing some stuff with RS-485 usb adapters. I've also seen talk about "speedwire". Which seems to be SMA's trademarked word for Ethernet.

I've seen a SMA COMGW-US-10 Communications Gateway. That proxies for lack of a better term RS-485 data to "Speedwire".

I've also seen Modbus is an option. If the SMA COMGW-US-10 Communications Gateway did Modbus I'd buy it and be done as its a few hundred bucks. However reading the SMA docs it's not very obvious if it does.

Thanks for any help

Update: Well, it looks like something is borked on the rs-485 bus. I was gonna disable one inverter at a time and see what was reporting but, sunpower monitoring is down for me. So, rather than trying to replace cards in older inverters I'm just gonna buy some zigbee clamp meters and call it a day

Hey there, so im working with this system that has sensors and an hmi. Usually, when it comes to sensors, id define them in my things, then items, and then go from there, but this time, we took out the HMI because were catering to a specific client. The original code would look like below where all of the sensors and relay have an id of 1, then the HMI would assign the sensors their respective id's. But now, when theres no hmi to assign the id's, how do I alter this so that I can still get a reading?

Hey all,

I'm pretty new to openHAB, but managed to get it installed on a rpi4, and got everything configured and running how I want it. I'm using it for an exhibit, and now need to change the wifi settings.

I've tried openhabian-config, but there's no wi-fi setting - I saw elsewhere online that it should be option 36.

No wi-fi settings at option 36

I've also tried directly editing wpa_supplicant.conf, but it doesn't include any wifi settings at all.

Contents of wpa_supplicant.conf

Any suggestions on what I should try next?

Hello,

I need some basic dependencies like "requests" but they are not included in the environment.

How can I add these deps ?

Thanks

PSA:
Changes to the Google assistant interface with OpenHAB are live. There are breaking changes coming (of the top of my head: light groups and fan speeds) so please review them and update your setup if needed. I believe that for now the old and new coexist but eventually they will stop working.

More info here:

https://community.openhab.org/t/openhab-google-assistant-v4-release-scheduled/156228/

If you have fans or air purifiers, check them out again, we’re getting sensor state information (pm readings ?) and also the ability to add modes to purifiers. Pretty darn cool!

Hi, I’m a HA user currently. I’m very concerned about the long term plan to effectively phase out text config and go UI only.

OH looks really promising, but I’m wondering about the long term direction and if it’s clear what role non-UI configurations will have.

Hi, I bought a Raspberry 4 and wanna try to Install openhab for showing the Output of my Huawei PV (incl. Luna Battery), my Growatt Micro Inverter and to use with my Home Automation ( Shelly, Homematic IP and Hue).

Are there any good Guides or starter Tipps for me?

Thanks in advance

Hey everyone, Quick news today! New milestone is out!

Hey openHab community - I have not forgotten about you - I am working on some new videos and they should be out soon.

I just released a new review/install video for the Aqara U100 Smart Lock https://geni.us/YlOW74 its on sale this weekend so I thought I would share! Number of ways it can connect including matter and zigbee - I have not set it up in openHAB yet, but will be trying it for an upcoming video.

Check out the new video, and if you have not all ready - subscribe as openHAB videos are coming soon!

Hello,
i try to connect my Siemens Logo 8.3 (0BA1) to openHAB 4. But the binding always shows a connection error.

Does anyone have any experience with this or have a tip on how I can integrate the whole thing?

thanks

Hello,

I'm using the SmarthomeJ Tuya Binding since a few months now. Recently, it can't connect to my temperature sensors anymore. It's always showing "Waiting for IP Adress". After adding the IP Adress manually they are staying shown as "offline". My door contact sensors are working fine. Has anyone else faced this issue?

Hello,

I have a Tibber Pulse on my electricity meter which has the local webserver enabled. The webserver has an endpoint /data.json, which - despite the json ending - returns binary sml.

I'd like to get this data into openHAB, but the smart meter binding needs a local port. Is there a way to read the sml data from the http endpoint and get it into the smart meter binding?

I know I can get the values from the Tibber Binding but the data returned by Tibbers API is often hours behind and also I like to use local data where possible instead of relying on cloud stuff.

Hi

I have Openhab connected to Sonoff dongle-e and connected mix of aqara and sonoff sensors.

Everything works but there is one weird thing. On random, after weeks of working some sensors fail and go offine.

After they are deleted and paired again the work. I can’t figure out what is wrong here?

I am currently running HA, but I've decided to try openHAB, because the Semantic Model and its separation from physical view on things, which is described in Concepts, fits more the reality.

I did setup openHAB, Mosquitto and Zigbee2MQTT for experimentation, using another ZigBee stick, and successfully created a thing and item, and locations.

However, configuration is quite a tedious process. And, I love to store the configuration containing my decisions of how things should be in versioned fashion using git.

Is it possible to have workflow like this:

1. configure things in GUI (experimentation part),
2. export the configuration to text,
3. store (verify differences) in git,
4. direct text config edit:
   • do manual edit (i.e. massive search & replace),
   • or add things textually (i.e. copy paste of some pattern),
   • or even generate things for patterns,
5. load back to openHAB,
6. store in git if all works.

I haven't found an export option.

Hi,

I am testing openhab on my appartment. I gkt a bunch of wifi and zigbee devices mostly but recently added zwave device (shlag connect lock).

I purchased a hubitat hub to enable that.

Everything so far is connected to Alexa.

I dont see an obvious way to integrate my zwave devices to openhab.

Use cases i can think of so far are:

• Managing lock codes from home assistant
• Sending a telegram message when specific codes are used
• Saving battery level to influxdb
• Send telegram for battery alert

Sending telegram message when not home and lock is open

I plan do have most of my next devices (blind, ringbell, led strip,...) Onto zwave so that is an important feature i m looking for.

Any guidance from the community ?

Thx !
