RaZberry: a full featured Z-Wave Home Controller

[Phil]

I get

[ ok ] Restarting network daemon:: mosquitto.

[krambriw]

Fine, so we now that mosquitto is running...

I will make a simple python script just to test that we can connect

[krambriw]

1) Copy the attached mosquitto.py file to EG's \lib26\site-packages folder

mosquitto.py

(77.48 KiB) Downloaded 130 times

2) In EG, create a Python Script and paste the code from below

3) Change the ip (the ip of your Pi)

Run the script and study the log if it connects and receives events

Code: Select all

Depending on the results from the test described in the previous post, it might be better to use a separate MQTT Client to verify that the Mosquitto broker is working correctly in your Pi.

Hi
Weirdly, after a further reboot of the machine with event ghost running on its started working

07:52:00 RaZBerry Z-Way: Remote Socket OFF
07:52:01 Main./zwave '0 Device_3_Instance_0_off, 0'
07:52:02 Main./zwave '0 Device_3_Instance_0_off, 0'
07:52:04 Main./zwave '0 Device_3_Instance_0_off, 0'
07:52:05 Main./zwave '0 Device_3_Instance_0_off, 0

At least the remote socket part has, I havent altered the section for the sensor yet, thought id start easy!

Really not sure what changed with the reboot, maybe it was a windows update causing issues or.... ??

[krambriw]

Good, looks as you have it working. If you don't want repeated events that Z-Way sends out, you can adjust the delay in the plugin setting. Maybe 5 seconds is a good choice.

[V_J]

I'm just following the thread, and it is interesting... I don't have z-wave devices, but was considering controlled sockets and some ip-zwave bridge (so I could interface it with a Loxone home automation server). The RazBerry seems like one of the best options so far, and I learned about it here. Thanks! The EventGhost functionality is an added bonus. Any Z-Wave things are still on long term planning, but it is good to know options.

[Phil]

I think I now have the temperature working,

10:45:43 Main./zwave '0 Device_2_Instance_0_temperature, 20.1'

however the fibaro also has a luminance detector as well, how do I add that?

I need to wait for some movement to know if the motion detector is reporting!


I've also noticed that if I reboot the pi it doesnt start reporting again until I go into the MQTT Client on eventghost to reconnect (unless I am just too impatient!)

[Phil]

The motion sensor is working as well. You mention I can add a delay in the plug in, I can't see where though?

[krambriw]

You mention I can add a delay in the plug in, I can't see where though?

This is where main.js is needed to modify. The basic functionality is that you have to 'bind' to events in the Z-Way. Like it is done for temperature and switches it needs to be done for luminiscence events so we need to add a section for this in your main.js (eventually we need to add a new function as well), all this is rather straight forward. A very optimistic guess is that the code to be added to the main.js could look like this:

Code: Select all

function sensor_luminiscence (device, instance, theValue) {
    device += "";
    instance += "";
    theValue += "";
    eventString = 'Device_' + device + '_Instance_' + instance + '_luminiscence';
    publish_mqtt(eventString, theValue);
}

zway.devices[2].instances[0].commandClasses.SensorMultilevel.data[3].val.bind(function() {
    sensor_luminiscence (2, 0, this.value);
});

To verify, please post here the response you get from the browser when you are entering the following url's where 'pi' is the ip of your Pi:

Code: Select all

http://pi:8083/ZWaveAPI/Run/devices[2].instances[0].commandClasses.SensorMultilevel.data[1].val

Code: Select all

http://pi:8083/ZWaveAPI/Run/devices[2].instances[0].commandClasses.SensorMultilevel.data[2].val

Code: Select all

http://pi:8083/ZWaveAPI/Run/devices[2].instances[0].commandClasses.SensorMultilevel.data[3].val

it doesnt start reporting again until I go into the MQTT Client

The MQTT Clients should try to reconnect automatically, at least they do for me. I think I have to check if I am running a newer unpublished version...

Best regards, Walter

EDIT: I just realize, sorry for that, that I have made several improvements since I published the plugin. You can try this one instead. When you upgrade
1) Disable the current MQTT plugin and all MQTT Clients, save and exit EG
2) Replace the __init__.py file in the MQTT plugin folder
3) Start EG
4) Open MQTT plugin config and click OK
5) Enable the plugin
6) Enable the MQTT Clients and execute (run) them, check in the plugin that they are started and running

Wonderful.
delay sorted (was looking in the wrong plugin )

data[1] is providing temperature
data[3] is providing luminescence

data[2] - Error 500: Internal Server Error
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'val' of undefined
(maybe its the battery level or the movement alarm sensor)


I've updated the plug in but still it doesn't automatically reconnect after the pi is rebooted.

Also, please let me thank you for all the help you've given me with this, as a non-programmer large chunks of information are meaningless to me and you have been a great help.

[krambriw]

No problem, cool that you got it working. Having a MQTT broker on board in the Pi makes it really useful, you can subscribe and publish events from any client in any type of system, not only EG and Windows.

After you did the url test, I think the code above for the main.js should work. You can copy & paste it into your existing main.js and then restart the z-way-server, hopefully you will get the luminiscence value. Maybe you have to configure how frequent it shall be reported (if it is possible, you will find it inthe zway gui).

I've updated the plug in but still it doesn't automatically reconnect after the pi is rebooted.

I just rebooted my Pi and this is what I get in the EG log, my client is automatically reconnecting correctly and after a while events are popping in

Code: Select all

15:59:33   MQTT Client: Trying to reconnect with.../zwave/# 192.168.10.248
15:59:43   MQTT Client  Z-Way: Succesfully connected with MQTT broker...
15:59:43   Subscribed: 2 (0,)
16:00:20   MQTT./zwave u"Device_6_Instance_3_temperature, 20.43"

[Phil]

Im now getting motion, light and temperature readings which is fantastic.

When the pi gets rebooted I get

Code: Select all

14:27:12   Exception in thread Z-Way:
14:27:12   Traceback (most recent call last):
14:27:12     File "threading.pyc", line 532, in __bootstrap_inner

14:27:12       resp = mqttc.connect(self.host, self.port, 30, "")
14:27:12     File "C:\Program Files (x86)\EventGhost\plugins\MQTT Client\mosquitto.py", line 569, in connect

14:27:12   error: [Errno 10061] No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it
14:27:12   

then no reconnection happens.

I see now, this is related to the mosquitto.py module itself. Actually, this is some time ago, I also made modifications to that one to overcome several problems similar to the one you experienced.

Try to replace with the attached one

Hi
Do you know if there are issues with recent RaZberry software updates? ?
I've updated both the version of raspbian and the z-wave software, the mqtt connects but im not getting anything notifications though.
I've checked the custom script is still in main.js and that mosquitto is running correctly.

thanks
