Script for 2 Way Control over RS232

Hi all,

I wonder if this has been done or any help would be appreciated. I want to control my z-wave devices sitting in HS3 via a rs232 link to an HVAC controller.

HS3 will need to open the com port and keep it open listening until it gets an ASCII string like LITEZ120050\x0d then action it and go back to listening for and others but i also need feedback so if anyone used HS app to turn the lights on etc then HS3 will need to send out something like the above.

The ASCII string broken down is LITExxxyyy\x0d xxx=hs3 ref yyy= value for light to go to.

Virtual Thermostat - Smart Home Skill

A little late to the Echo party but I decided that I should give it a go, I use the smart home skill for ease but I would like to get my thermostats working. I don't have a real thermostat but instead have a number of other devices and scripts that mimic a thermostat and control is afforded through HS.

I've created two new devices as per the SDK that says that the root device is what Alexa looks for (in terms of name) and then it looks for a child device that has the control use pair set to heat set point to control the device. I've set the device type API on the root device to a thermostat and on the child device to a set point which the SDK seems to suggest is needed.

I've rediscovered devices in Alexa and the thermostat devices show up however when I issue a command it simply says 'the thermostat does not respond'. The device does not change either - does anyone know what I am missing here? It is not a plugin and hopefully I don't need to have it be one.

We have a sensor that monitors temperature, humidity, and luminescence and when one of them falls below/above it should be sending an email except none of the events are working. We are using office 365 to send the email and here is a screenshot of one of the events:

1.1.17228.28 is not working for me. Anyway to rollback? I rely on this plugin 3 times a day or more. Thx

I see nothing in the log at all, I rebooted the MyQ controller itself also.

Here's all i get in the logs...

Having trouble updating firmware on dimmers

I keep getting the following message:

Click the button to choose a DIFFERENT firmware file provided by the manufacturer, to be uploaded to the device.
To start the transfer, press the button on the unit, then press Start. The current file is: /opt/HomeSeer/temp/HSWD100_5_19.hec
Error reading firmware file: Not Intel HEX file.

The file is directly downloaded from the homeseer website. I have tried re-downloading it and trying again, but that hasn't helped. Any ideas?

Untangling Capi Control, Associations and Linked Devices!

August 23, 2017, 3:02 pm
$

Hi,

Looking for advice on the correct approach on a simple scenario.

3 way Dimmer (One Master Dimmer, two slave dimmers).
expected behaviour:
- Turn on Master to Dim 50%, Lights Dim to 50%, Slave Dimmers move to 50% Dim.
- Same behaviour should happen if one uses a slave.
- Same behaviour should happen if On/Off/Dim is triggerered by Homeseer interface or events.

If I put Associations in all three devices to the remaining two - and turn on/off/dim from a physical dimmer, this works.
But if I turn on/off/dim a device from HomeSeer, the associations aren't triggered and the two remaining devices are now out of sync in their display state.
If I add a link two devices to each other in Homeseer then those two devices stay synced even when sent a CAPI Control...but of course the 3rd doesn't.

I must be doing something basic and wrong! Love some advice!

Thanks.

Z-wave interface failed out of the clear blue

I happened to manually activate a sprinkler and a few minutes later, I couldn't do a darn thing. I don't think the two are related but the bottom line is my z-wave system is dead as a door nail right now.

Here's a screenshot of where I stand. I did go from .140 back to .130, to no avail. There is no node info for the z-net. The Aeotec doesn't have any nodes right now, but that was a test I was doing a few days ago.

I need help, but I'm not sure what could have possibly gone wrong to end up with a mess like this.

If I put a Minimote in my car, can HS3 detect when the car is away via the z wave node disappearing? I'm still using a cheaper RFID tag in the car. It works but it will probably fail soon[emoji53]

Question: best way of keeping track of device values for a condition

August 23, 2017, 5:44 pm

So, I have a plugin and for one of my conditions I need to track the value of the device. That is to say I need to know the value before the change and then set the value to the new value. I am doing this via HSEvent and all is working well.

My question is on what is the best way to store this. Right now I'm using a SQLite database to hold the values, but this obviously has some downsides such as the time to retrieve and then save the values as they change. I was wondering if anyone thought it would be better to just store it in memory while the plugin is running. My concern about using memory was that if a user adds too many conditions, it would use up too much memory and then managing the triggers might be a pain (though I could use Linq to filter them, so may be not).

So which would probably be the preferred method for storing the values? Either way I have to reset the stored values on plugin initiation.

Plugin out of service for now.

All,

I feel you're owed an update on the situation.

From what I'm seeing in the debugs and packet decodes it looks like Chamberlain has made another attempt to derail any 3rd party items from working with their interface. They've made some major changes in the communication between the server and the web browser.

They have embedded encrypted functions in the web page that is used to redirect the web browser to a one time use login post page. This prevents my application from being able to post at all to the expected login page.

Essentially the login page is now a moving target that changes with every login attempt. The location of the login page is encoded in a dynamically changing javascript function that the webpage hands to the browser each time it visits the page.

Long story short, there is no quick fix on my part. I essentially have to build a function into my plugin that is able to interpret the javascript function and use it to find the new login page and then post back to that for login info.

I will keep you all posted as I have more updates, but as it sits right now, there is no ETA for a fix.

Air Conditioners (HVAC) integration question.

Greetings HS community! This is my first post here.

I have one question. I hope you can help.

How do you deal with Air Conditioners? AFAIK they don't connect directly to HS, but I need tu use Z-wave or IFTTT Thermostats to access cooling, heating, fans.... I would like to turn off the AC as the Window gets open using multi sensors etc....

I found some wiring diagrams and explanation about 24V 5 wires connection. But the question is. Does every AC model have those HVAC connectors that I can wire thermostat to? I guess cheap $200 AC will not provide option for 24V wired remote control, or should it? I don't seem to find it in user manuals.

How do you connect AC devices to HS? What is the best practice?

Thank you very much!

If you don't agree to the new Sonos EULA your devices might not work

Sonos is starting to collect user data and if you don't agree you won't receive updates and who knows what else will happen down the line.

http://www.zdnet.com/article/sonos-a...e-to-function/

""The customer can choose to acknowledge the policy, or can accept that over time their product may cease to function," the spokesperson said."

"That "functional data" includes email addresses, IP addresses, and account login information -- as well as device data, information about Wi-Fi antennas and other hardware information, room names, and error data."

No bueno.

Reverse triggering

First of all I have:
  • Hometroller Zee
  • Omni II panel
  • Hai/Omni plugin
  • Alexa service
What I want to do is add a few Zwave door sensors and have their status communicate back to the Omni Panel via the Zwave receiver built in to the HS-Zee. I won't be using them as alarms, just sensors to determine if a gate is open or closed at bedtime. It would be nice to ask Alexa if the gate is open or closed, but that would just be icing on the cake.



I realize I can buy a Zwave PIM for the Omni and I *think* I can do it that way, but I'm trying to use what I already have.


Is this possible? :confused:

plug in setup help

Hello,

I am new to HS3 and trying to get everything setup. I have a DSC panel with an EVL3 that has functioned flawlessly for years.

I have been unable to get the plugin up and running and was looking for some help.

There doesn't seem to be much to the setup so I'm scratching my head here. I am able to login to my evl3 either using http://envisalink or its local ip address, which is 192.168.1.8. It shows as being online and all parameters are green with firmware 1.12.180. I have tried setting it up using 192.168.1.8, and also as 192.168.1.008, which is how it is presented when I login to the board and go to the network page.

When i go to set up the plug in, I use the evl3 ip address, and the same 4 digit pin i use to login to the board. I specified the number of partitions and zones and successfully named all of the zones.

Homeseer successfully created all of the appropriate devices. I see the root device, but the user access device status is unknown, and partition 1 status is not ready. This never changes regardless of the DSC panel's actual status.

Every time I make a change in the envisalink config page, I disable and reenable the plugin.

Nothing seems to work. Am I missing something obvious?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Haven't used the feature in a long time and has been disabled in Setup.
Now wanting to use it again but enabling in Setup gives me

"error - Object reference not set to an instance of an object" when I go to the View/Energy tab

I noticed there wasn't an energy.hsd file created so I tried restarting HS - no change.

I'm running HS 3.0.0.318 and Zwave 3.0.1.87.

Have I missed something else like is the Zwave plugin version adequate for the feature.

Help please.
