Re: How to change web console to use HTML buttons rather than clickable divs

Page commented by Richard Turner

Hi Andrew,

I've only just seen this post regarding the Web Console. If you need any more assistance with what you are trying to do then please let me know.

I am still working on the Web Console 2.0 so things are changing a bit. I resorted to using divs in the button widgets as it gave me more flexibility than using GWT Button components (Which will revert to using native HTML buttons).

Anyway I'm watching this page now!

Thankfully, it looks like this will not be necessary.

I haven't tried the virtual command yet, but I will probably experiment with it this weekend just for fun. I will however wait with my XBMC implementation until you guys have time to implement the functionality I need. But I do like what I have seen so far about OpenRemote. Keep up the good work, it's really appreciated.

Re: Format a command based on the response from a previous command?

2012-01-25T23:24:27Z

Page commented by Marcus Redeker

Having a button to trigger a rule is high on the list , but unfortunately not available in the moment

You could try the "In-memory virtual command".
Create a command using that protocol with address "dummy" and command "on"
Create a command using that protocol with address "dummy" and command "off"
Create a command using that protocol with address "dummy" and command "status"
Create a switch sensor with the virtual status command.
Create a switch with that sensor and the on and off commands.

Now you can use the rule engine to use that status sensor.

In reply to a comment by Fredrik Dahlberg:

Thinking about it there is a flaw in our reasoning, or at least in mine. Creating a command that returns the id and a sensor that holds it works fine. But if I use the rule engine to trigger a second command to turn off the player as soon as I get an event from the sensor means that as soon as I turn on a player it will be turned off again. Is it possible for the rule engine to recognize a button press from a button without a command and then let that rule execute a command to turn off the active player? Or is there another/better way to do it?

Re: Minido - Which protocol do you recommend to link with OpenRemote ?

2012-01-25T22:06:52Z

Page commented by Eric Bariaux

Not sure why you say it's mainly based on polling. If the protocol supports it, OR will receive async notifications. That's what we do for instance with KNX or Lutron.

If you implement the server to push status update as soon as they happen on the physical bus, you can implement the client in OR to receive those without any polling.

In reply to a comment by François Delpierre:

Sorry Eric, but I still can't imagine that a modern home automation software is mainly based on polling to get status updates from the home automation system.

I have more than 100 devices that might generate events, including presence sensors in the rooms, and window/door opening detector on 3 floors.

If I want my light to switch on less than 0.1s after triggering a presence sensor, or get my web page status updated with near to no delay when I switch on a light or open a door, I would have to poll more than 1000 times per seconds permanently ???

Re: Z-Wave support ?

2012-01-25T16:02:14Z

Page commented by Marcus Redeker

Unfortunately the HSC-40 (at least not the version I have) is not purely ASCII based which means a pure TCP solution is not possible.
So I created a special HSC-40 protocol which supports the device and it can be used to control switches and dimmers for now.

I will write a How-To for this which will be available here: http://www.openremote.org/display/docs/OpenRemote+2.0+How+To+-+Z-Wave+with+HSC-40

A demo video is available here: http://www.openremote.org/display/project/2011/11/25/OpenRemote+Z-Wave+Demo

In reply to a comment by Marcus Redeker:

Well, if you have a device that speaks ASCII over IP support is there through the socket protocol.
This is what I am testing with the HSC-40 device.

If you want to control a Z-Wave network from a Z-Wave USB stick this is currently not supported.

Re: Samsung TV Remote Protocol

2012-01-25T09:22:30Z

Page commented by yann philippe

Indeed, Good news for you.
I'm not sure the Samsung TV is supporting the WOL feature. The standard samsung remote application (on iPad and Android) has the same behavior. As explained in Samsung Doc, The TV has to be turn ON for the IP remotes to work.
May be we can find a solution around this place: http://www.samygo.tv/

In reply to a comment by Adolfo Amo:

Hi! (I'm happy!)

I've made some successful tests with vol_up and vol_down buttons, i'll try to explain my experince to those who have this same "problem":

1.- With Openremote 2.0.0_SNAPSHOT_20120103: It works fine and as spected.

I have de feeling that this version is heavier than the "stable" release 20110611, therefore...

2.- With Openremote 2.0.0_SNAPSHOT_20110611: I've copied the samsungtv folder classes to "webapps/controller/WEB-INF/classes/org/openremote/controller/protocol" on this release and configure "config.properties" and "applicationContext.xml" from "webapss/controller/WEB-INF/classes"

config.properties: Add my tv ip as seen on the how-to.

applicationContext.xml: Add the line

<prop key = "samsungTV">samsungTVCommandBuilder</prop>

to the commandFactory bean. And the samsungTV commandBuilder bean in the correct place (search for "COMMAND BUILDERS")

<bean id = "samsungTVCommandBuilder" class = "org.openremote.controller.protocol.samsungtv.SamsungTVRemoteCommandBuilder">
<constructor-arg index="0" value="${samsungTV.interface.ip}" />
</bean>

Then restart openremote. The pannel buttons works fine in this two cases.

The only thing missing in the manual is to be explained that the tv must be turned on and when you press a button on the panel for the first time, the tv asks for allowing access to openremote (ip) and WIRELESS remote control. You have to accept and then all works fine.

On the other hand i can't turn on the tv, because the ip interface is powered off, and therefore the tv is not listening for ip requests... I'll try to make tests with WOL but at the moment it doesn't work... Have you any idea?

You have to define a "statusDefault" attribute for the command. Then that will be used if regex does not find a match.

I'm pretty sure the OR web console uses server push (and if it's not the case, it should use this or something similar). The iOS and Android consoles do use that.

Also, just want to stress that the communication with the consoles (UI) and the communications with the devices (Minido in this case) are totally decoupled. So polling on one side does not imply/influence polling on the other side.
This is particularly important because OR is not only a control system but also an automation system. So for instance rules can be triggered based on status change from a device without any UI being involved.

Hi Michael,

We can find several reason for that: your panel design or KNX implementation.

First, on the panel design side, you can have a look at that thread: http://www.openremote.org/display/forums/KNX+via+Android+%28beginners+question%29?focusedCommentId=19432702#comment-19432702

If the panel is OK, this can come from your KNX implementation. A first test can be to validate the KNX commands within the ETS project and check if you're receiving the status feedback when switching ON/OFF on your bus monitoring.
If yes, please make sure you're using the correct group address in the commands created in OpenRemote Designer.
If no, that means that you've first to create that feedback in your ETS project and then use the associated group address for the status in the OpenRemote Designer.

Re: Format a command based on the response from a previous command?

2012-01-24T16:32:08Z

Page commented by Marcus Redeker

So, you need 2 commands and one sensor.
The first command returns the id. Then you create a sensor "readId" which holds the id.
The second command sends the id. The id has to be replaced with "${param}" which later is replaced with the real id.

Now you create a rule like this:

rule "Execute command with ID from sensor"
when
$evt : Event (source == "readId")
then
execute.command("doSomethingWithID", $evt.getValue());

That should work

In reply to a comment by Fredrik Dahlberg:

How do I store the output of the first command? My first thought was to use a sensor. But it seems that they have to be defined in the UI to work and I don't want to display the current player-id.

This will change with the next release of the designer.

Don't know if it fits in this thread, cause you are concentrating on (G)UI items. Don't know if there are right API's in place on the different platforms neither but how about supporting some kind of speech recognition element's. For instance Siri support on IOS.
Would be great to have a scenario like : 'Please switch the lamp on in kitchen' or 'start kino environment' which forces to switch on my TV, close down the blinds and starts a lighting scene for a romantic evening
That would be really a multimodal interface, giving verbal input and getting the actual states out visual. Definitely worth to look deeper into it.

Well, telnet is just easier to test, and so might be easier to implement with other protocols or systems.

If I have to start from nothing, I would prefer Openremote to talk JSON over STOMP; this is really made for asynchronous updates, and also easy to debug as you can connect as many clients as you want.

But all of this really makes sense if the openremote webinterface is using Ajax Server Push/COMET and/or Websockets to asynchronously update the client.

Hi guy's first of all I want to say that this is an excellent project. Something I am looking for and getting this close on what I want.

I use a Qnap TS219 Turbo NAS (3 years old) and want to install the openremote on it. Unfortunatly I am already getting stuck to get java installed, see tread: http://forum.qnap.com/viewtopic.php?f=163&t=15689 The zip file is not available any more.

The reply I got from QNAP support:
[9:43:51] Bjorn: Hi I try to download the the file from http://ftp.qnap.com/QPKG/ARM/JRE_6_arm-x19.zip but it is not available anymore. Can you send me the zip file? I want to run openremote on my 219 Turbo nas
[9:55:53] Text chat only. Service hours:09:30~24:00 (GMT+8, Mon.-Fri.).: JRE only for X86 model , not for Arm NAS
[9:56:51] Bjorn: Well it use to be supported see link I send
[9:57:03] Text chat only. Service hours:09:30~24:00 (GMT+8, Mon.-Fri.).: No
[9:57:32] Text chat only. Service hours:09:30~24:00 (GMT+8, Mon.-Fri.).: even you install it on your TS-219 that could not run up either
[9:59:47] Bjorn: what alternative do i have to run java on the TS219 ?
[10:00:36] Text chat only. Service hours:09:30~24:00 (GMT+8, Mon.-Fri.).: No idea how to do that , you can have your issue on the forum.qnap.com

So basicly as I understand it my NAS will not be able to support this out of the box. I will post a tread on the QNAP forum to see what is possible.

If you guys have suggestions feel free to let me know.

Causus:
I am using a A/V Receiver NAD748 that can be controlled trough RS232. This is done by connecting it with an ATC-1000 serial to tcp/ip converter. From the computer Win7x64 it works like a charm. Now I want to control this unit by openremote custom control on an Android device. As I have a Qnap I just simply thought I run the server software on it instead of my computer as it is on 24/7.

Anyway looking forward to get your replies.

In reply to a comment by Eric Bariaux:

The Telnet protocol implementation in OR will not provide asynchronous support or stay connected, works the same as UDP or TCP.
If you implement a custom protocol, you could use telnet, keep the connection open and have a thread listen for incoming messages.

But if you're implementing the server, I don't see added benefit to telnet (over plain TCP/IP), unless it's easier to implement on the server side.
(OK, there might be a small advantage to testing the server side manually when using telnet).

I think the Samsung protocol implementation that Marcus did might be the closest to what you'll be doing when integrating with a TCP/IP protocol. I'll talk to him tomorrow or he might chime in for more information.

There is no SNMP module right now. This has been mentioned in the past and as there are a few SNMP stacks in Java, should not be too difficult to implement.
If somebody wants to have a go at it, we'll be glad to provide support through the forums.

Hi,

I think you can find most of the responses to your questions into that thread: http://www.openremote.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=19432914

This Samsung TV Remote Protocol is implemented on the current Controller (developer) release. You can download it from this address: http://www.redeker-consulting.de/openremote/OpenRemote-Controller-2.0.0_SNAPSHOT_20120103.zip

But don't forget that the current implementation is requesting to param the controller. Auto-Discovery with UpNP is not yet supported and you have to configure your TV IP-address within config.properties

Samsung TV Remote Protocol

2012-01-23T12:41:20Z

Page added by Adolfo Amo

Hi all!

First of all I want to congratulate all the work done with openremote. It is a very powerful tool!
I would like to collaborate with documentation about the different processes for the design of an installation and configuration of openremote. I think that you are lacking in documentation

On the other hand I have seen on the web designer, there is a protocol called "Samsung TV Remote". I've been testing with the controller version "2.0.0_SNAPSHOT_20110611" but apparently, as seen on the logs, this protocol is not implemented. It is possible to obtain a controller with this protocol implemented?

Thanx a lot and congratulations!

The telnet command supports a responseFilter which is a regular expression. You could probably use that to extract the id from one command. Then create a second command and use the rule engine (upcoming 2.0 release) to trigger that command and give the result of the first one. This is just an idea and it might work.

OK, then the best is to implement a custom protocol in OpenRemote. You can leave the connection open and start a thread to listen to messages from Mindo-Unleashed and update the status cache asynchronously.
There is not a ton of doc on how to do this but if you're a Java programmer, it's not too difficult, you can look at implementation of existing modules and we can guide you via the forum.

Thanks Eric for your quick reply.

The reason why I moved to Twisted is that I really want no delay in the update of an event, so no polling.

I would prefer to avoid reconnecting and/or polling, and have one connection that keeps open, and that also received the updates from Minido-Unleased in realtime.

That's fun. I in fact discovered the project by looking in the Fosdem Lightening talks. Is it you that make the presentation ? I will certainly join, except if I go for some skiing

In reply to a comment by Eric Bariaux:

Hello François,

The TCP or UDP/IP commands are pretty simple.
They take an IP address, a port and a string to send.
They are stateless, each time a command is executed, the connection is established to the given IP/port, the given string is sent and any string returned back by the server you're talking to is the return value from your command.

So in Minido-Unleashed you could implement something like when you receive

RELAY-1=ON

you turn that relay on.
In OR, you would simply send that string and ignore the return value.

You could also have a command such as

RELAY-1-STATUS

that returns

ON

and in OR create a command to use with a switch sensor to have the feedback from a relay.

Hope this already helps.

PS: I suppose you're from Belgium, where I'm also located. I'm thinking about doing kind of a "user group" meeting in February. I'll post the details on the forums when I know more.

Page edited by Fredrik Dahlberg

I have just installed OpenRemote and started to configure my controller to controll XBMC via JSON-RPC. Sending commands via Telnet works great. But if I want to stop playing the current video/song/etc I first need to query XBMC for the ID of the Active Player and then use that ID in the Stop-Player command string. How can I do that in OpenRemote?

Example:
Query for Active Player:

Command: null|{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Player.GetActivePlayers", "id": 1}
Response: {"id":1,"jsonrpc":"2.0","result":[{"playerid":0,"type":"audio"}]}

Stop Player (PlayerId = 0)

Command: null|{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Player.Stop", "params": {"playerid": 0}, "id": 1}

Minido - Which protocol do you recommend to link with OpenRemote ?

2012-01-22T13:24:51Z

Page added by François Delpierre

Hi,

I'm the happy owner of this very cheap Minido home automation and Alarm system from AnB S.A. in Belgium.
I wrote the decoding part of the Minido using the excellent Twisted network event based Python framework, and a STOMP message broker (Currently orbited) used to communicate between software pieces to transfer data (JSON encoded). This software is called Minido-Unleashed.

I did not yet write any web interface for the latest release (twisted based), and I am really interested in plugging OpenRemote on Minido-Unleashed.

Which protocol should I implement in Minido-Unleashed to allow OpenRemote to connect to it ?

TCP/IP or Telnet ? Where can I find docs for tcp/ip ?
Or maybe is there any message server already in OpenRemote ?

P.S. : It's not possible to think about plugging OpenRemote directly on the RS485 Bus because Minido is extremely simple. For instance there is no way to change a relay state without redefining the 7 others on a 8 relays module, and it's not possible to query the states, so Minido-Unleashed software permanently sniff the bus to build & keep internal state tables.

Regards,

François

Switched rack PDU

2012-01-19T14:07:11Z

Page added by David

Hi, i have a apc switched rack pdu lying around witch i am trying to control with openremote.
It has 8 switchable power outlets and has its own basic web interface to control them.
The web interface uses html post to send the commands (one page to select wich oultets and what to do with them and one to confirm)
It also had ssh acces and with console u have to go tru a sequence of menus to control the outlets (mostly while typing numbers)
I have tried both the html command option (but saw no option for post parameters) as the telnet command option (by giving the login and number sequence with enters into notepad and copy pasting it to the telenet command field) What would be the easiest way to make this work ? And if it is possible are there some examples i might follow ?

Can you try the latest snapshot Marcus has prepared (download from : http://www.redeker-consulting.de/openremote/OpenRemote-Controller-2.0.0_SNAPSHOT_20120103.zip) and see if the error is the same, or if there's more detailed error message (some updates have gone into handling errors and logging so this may help in debugging the issue).

If the error is still the same we need to peek into the logs to see if anything relevant shows up there.

See the attachment for the snapshot of Richard Turner's version 2.0 (Alpha) of Web Console from Dec 28th.

You will need to get the Controller snapshot that Marcus created recently which is here: http://www.redeker-consulting.de/openremote/OpenRemote-Controller-2.0.0_SNAPSHOT_20120103.zip

The 2.0 alpha of WebConsole won't work with older versions of the controller.

Drop the webconsole2.war file in the controller's webapps directory. The webconsole should show up at http://localhost:8080/webconsole2

The initial config screen is still work-in-progress but enter the controller URL (http://localhost:8080) and your panel's name (which you entered in the designer). You'll have to sync your controller with the designer first to make the panel available, which you can do at http://localhost:8080/controller

(Instructions written off the top of my head, may contain mistakes).

I will have to rewrite some stuff and support multiple configuration properties.
Since the change of the configuration of the controller is another TODO (ORCJAVA-183), I will wait.

In reply to a comment by Marcus Redeker:

OK, good point. I can take a look and see if it's easy to extend.
Right now the implementation only supports one device

The future plan goes into the direction that the controller will disvover everything that is discoverable and that he supports and will give that information to the online designer after giving the controller your online credentials.

The designer would automatically see that you have multiple Samsung devices, a KNX gateway and maybe some other stuff.

All you need todo then, is to say which devices should be controlled and create a remote for it or choose a layout from predefined remotes (eg. TV, DVD, ...)

But this will take a little longer until all our dreams come true

The code is available in my current developer branch: http://openremote.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/openremote/workspace/mredeker/Controller_EP_SNAP_DateTime_WOL

Auto-Discovery with UpNP is not yet supported and you have to configure your TV IP-address within config.properties.

The protocol tag is called 'samsungTV' and you need to configure the commands with one property 'keyCode' which takes a String like:

KEY_CHUP
KEY_CHDOWN
KEY_VOLUP
KEY_VOLDOWN
KEY_MUTE
....

All supported keycodes can be found here: https://openremote.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/openremote/workspace/mredeker/Controller_EP_SNAP_DateTime_WOL/src/org/openremote/controller/protocol/samsungtv/Key.java

Maybe not all of the codes will work for your TV. Mine eg. does not support "KEY_POWERON" but maybe others do.

When I give up and logout - I get a string of errors then the designer start to load images again (briefly) before logging out.

I don't know if a have an error somewhere in my config.

I quite often see the "bad gateway error"

Thank you Juha,

I do have a lot of junk in my Templates list. While I was messing around with them I was creating templates, but these do not show in the Templates list, however if I create a "new screen from template" I can see that all of my test templates do exist, I just can not get access to delete them.

I would be happy if you could delete all of my templates for me

There's couple of locations that set maximum limit on POST request size. It's possible that somewhere this limit is being hit. I'll see if I can reproduce the issue and track down which component in the stack might be limiting.

If you have saved earlier openremote.zip files (from before the error occured) that would help.

This seems to be a bug we've introduced between Designer versions on serialization format. I still need to find which change caused this and then come up with a fix.

Re: Ability to execute shell commands on Windows

2012-01-12T22:22:37Z

Page commented by Marcus Redeker

How did you configure that in the designer?
"/bin/sh" as full path to executable
and
"/volume1/homes/admin/GoogleMeteo.sh" as additional command param?

If not, then that would be the problem.

Other way would be that "/bin/sh" is the first line in "GoogleMeteo.sh"
like this "#!/bin/sh"

and then you just put the full path to "GoogleMeteo.sh" as path to executable and you have to chmod +x the file.

#1 They're same accounts. Just somewhat confusing terminology. Thanks for pointing out the inconsistency.

#2 It's just an INFO message, not an error. The native libs are not necessary.

Does OR provide a way to program events? I mean, for example, trigger some actions based on device status, temperature values, time or daylight.

Thanks in advance.

UIDesigner restore failed. Incompatible data can not be restored to panels.

Hi Guys

I can no longer edit my panels using the online designer. When loading the panels in the Designer I get the above error message.

I tried emptying my browser cache and restarting but that made no difference. If I do an online sync in my controller everything works fine and my devices have my last edits.

Any ideas?

Garry

Unable to login to OpenRemote Controller

2012-01-10T22:37:01Z

Page added by Joakim Henze

Hi,

I'm new to OpenRemote controller and have a problem to login to the OpenRemote Controller.

This is what I've done:

1. Registered a new an account for OpenRemote Online Designer
2. I am able to login using my credentials
3. Succesfully installed Java SDK 6u29 (I'm running Windows 7 64 Professional)
4. Succesfully started the server (openremote -run) with 1 error message:
INFO: The APR based Apache Tomcat Native library which allows optimal performance in production environments was not found on the java.library.path: D:\Download\OpenRemote\Controller\2.0\webapps\controller\WEB-INF\lib\native
5. I verified my server installation by entering http://localhost:8080/controller in the IE9 browser
6. I get a login screen which says "Welcome to OpenRemote Controller" where I should enter my username and password for my Modeler account
7. Entering the same credentials as in step 2 above (Online Designer) and clicking on "Sync with Online Desinger" I get the following error message: "The username or password you entered is incorrect."

Questions:

1. Is my Modeler account not the same as the Online Designer account? If not, what is the Modeler account? The text at the bottom of the login screen at least indicates it should be the same, or?
2. Why am I getting the INFO message in step 4 above? How come things are missing in a folder which was just unzipped from the download? Where can I find thee Apache Tomcat Native library to make my installation complete for optimal performance.

Any ideas or suggestions are welcome.

Regards

Jokkohama

How to change web console to use HTML buttons rather than clickable divs

2012-01-10T19:44:17Z

Page edited by Andrew Ball - "fleshed out question"

Good afternoon.

I've been working with the web console and the Firefox Mouseless Browsing plugin. Unfortunately, that plugin cannot handle clickable divs. How would I go about changing the code to use HTML button elements instead?

I'm looking at modifying the constructor for org.openremote.web.console.widget.ButtonComponent so that it adds an instance com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.Button instead of the Label and Image controls as it does now ...

If this works out, I'll probably try to make some kind of accessibility mode so that I can avoid having a special version of the code.

Hi John,

I'm sure Juha just hasn't got round to responding to you but if there's some functionality that you want to get stuck into developing then there is nothing stopping you checking out the existing source and coding away.

Hi markus,

Thanks for the linkand the snapshot.
I tried to install it on my synology but failed.
The designer is up2date and I was thinking the controller too (I overwrited the old files with the new ones, changed the Port to the one I used, but each time I try to uplad my new design to the con,troller it failed. I have also other java error when running).
Is there a release date for this new version ?

I just created a snapshot of the latest controller to download.
You can try this version: www.redeker-consulting.de/openremote/OpenRemote-Controller-2.0.0_SNAPSHOT_20120103.zip
The "Shell Execution" protocol was also added to the online designer, so you don't have to edit any xml just go online and create a "shellexe" command and link to a button.
