TellStick Duo

Hi,
I've had some great success using Eventghost and appreciate all the help I've had from Forum Posts.
I'm not a developer so apologies for my newbie query.
I get all events listed for my Oregan Sensor, I now want to be more selective and have configured for Monitor Change only events. However I still get all events.
By adding some "print" I have followed the plugin code to this section at Line 519.

Code: Select all

    def SaveOregonTHSensor(self, msg, m_key):
        #Make status data persistent if it has changed
        m = msg
        #print 'm: ', m
        tr_e = False
        try:
            if msg != self.sensor_state_memory[m_key]:
                self.sensor_state_memory[m_key] = msg
            tr_e = True

Am I correct in thinking that "tr_e = True" should be within the "if" indent of the "try:"?

Code: Select all

        except KeyError:
            if self.bDebug:
                print self.text.keyAdded
            self.sensor_state_memory[m_key] = msg
            tr_e = True

From my testing it seems to work but I'm not sure if this is just a coincidence and that I may be impacting other logic.
Many thanks for looking at this

Dear PJ,

Thank you for your report!

The code was actually intentionally written like that because I had in mind that every event from the sensor should create an EG event. However, you can have the modification in your version if you prefer. What will happen is that there will only be an event created in EG when it is different to the previous one.

Thank you for your testing,
Walter

Many thanks for confirming your "by design" Walter.
I have crudely added some timers to both the TellstickDuo and ClimateDataCalculation plugins to reduce the amount of Log, but at the same time allow me to write some rules for managing my Home Heating. All of this from reading your helpful responses to others and your code.
I still have to work out how to store status values for restart/failover as I read eg.globals should be steered clear of, started to look at managing persistent data - I'll get there.

Don't know if there is a process for closing out queries or posts, if there is could you please oblige.

Thanks again.
PJ

Hi!

this is my first question in this forum.

im using a tellstick duo and eventghost, i use the toggle on/off function on one of the switches, but it switches back so off to fast, is it possible to delay the on/off toggle for about 3 seconds?
so when i push on och the button, it will switch to off after 3 seconds, not emideately as it does now.

thank you

Hello,
The use case is relevant. I have added a new action (ToggleOnOffWithTimer) to keep the compatibilty with existing user configurations.

Updated version uploaded & available

[tjabas]

Thank you very much, really apreciate it.
But how do i install it?

[bongolf]

When building an arduino-sensor I saw that the Oregon-Protocol has a flag for battery status.
I can see that the "packet" the sensor sends out looks different when the flag is set, but in Eventghost the event looks the same.
Would it be possible the get support for the battery-flag in this plugin?
Or is it something that is not supported in the Tellstick?

[krambriw]

When the plugin first was written, battery status flag was not supported by the Telldus firmware, it was added in later version and I have not yet bothered to consider it. I will check and see if it can be detected & presented

[krambriw]

Battery status is unfortunately not possible to indicate, it is not supported by the library used (TelldusCore.dll)

[bongolf]

Ok, thanks for looking.
I had my hopes up after reading this blogpost (but it was only for Tellstick Live):

Perhaps its time to get the RFXtrx...

I just bought two Proove temperaturesensors that show up perfectly in Telldus live but they dont show up in eventghost.

Are they not supported by the plugin?

Best regards
A very happyuser of the Tellstick Duo Plugin

[krambriw]

Might be they are not supported.

Telldus is unfortunately not keeping the development of Live and Telldus Center synchronized in respect to supported devices. The plugin for Eventghost (EG) is depending on drivers & library files installed when you install Telldus Center. Only thing you can do is to verify that you are running the latest version of Telldus Center (I have version 2.1.2 I believe is the latest).

Once you have Telldus Center installed, you can check if the sensors are recognized there by entering the following screen:

If the sensors are shown there, we have a chance to show them in EG as well, might also be I have missed something in the coding of the plugin

[Henrik4223]

Dear Krambriw

I have version 2.1.2.

And the sensors are showing up in Telldus center - see the screenshot (sensor number 167/168 and 151).

Does this help?

[krambriw]

Do you receive any events in EG for the sensors if you enable raw events?

[Henrik4223]

YES - I get data like thins:

TellStickDuo.RawEvent: class:sensor;protocol:fineoffset;id:167;model:temperaturehumidity;humidity:44;temp:20.8;Duo_ID:3
