Re: Problems with changes to trigger_code.pl and item referencesin triggers

2009-12-23T16:12:48Z

I found the problem, but I need some feedback before I can commit a fix. I found these lines in the setup subroutine, which gets run before the items are defined:

# This was taken from lib/trigger_code.pl so that libraries involved with serial ports

# and sockets could create new triggers. See lib/Weather_daviswm2.pm for an example of

# why this is a good idea.

&triggers_read;

I don't understand what "so that libraries involved with serial ports and sockets could create new triggers" means. I looked at the Davis and didn't see why it would need to have its trigger defined so early in the startup process. I'm inclined to remove these lines, since triggers_read is already run after the items are defined. Is anyone using a Davis WM2, and can help me test?

Subject: [mh] Problems with changes to trigger_code.pl and item referencesin triggers

I just recently upgraded from v2-105 to the latest svn revision on my main system. Im now having trouble with some of my triggers and I believe it is due to code that David Norwood introduced in lib/trigger_code.pl. For now I commented out the eval() and related if {} block and all seems to be working. While I understand the reason for the eval() I must wonder if that code has the right context for evaluating code that will otherwise run in the polling loop.

The error I received is:

After doing some print_log() tests, Ive come to the conclusion that the item objects do not exist when lib/trigger_code.pl tries to eval() the triggers. Is there another way to define the triggers so they reference item objects in such a way to keep lib/trigger_code.pl happy?

WMR968 rain fall reset

2009-12-22T21:19:28Z

I’m using a WMR968 weather station and I wrote a little code to take the $Weather{} and put it in a MySQL DB. However, for $Weather{rainTotal}, it has the total amount of rain for the station since the last station restart. Is there something I can do at midnight every night to reset that?

Thanks,

Mick

Re: Problems with changes to trigger_code.pl and item referencesin triggers

2009-12-22T19:27:46Z

Yes, I think you are right about the items not being defined yet. I just looked at my triggers and they are all time based events. Let me look into this problem and get back to the list. Good catch.

0252 is the message prefix indicating that the PLM has received an x10
message. The remaining zeros indicate that the received x10 message is
a unit code = "D".

mh does not provide a way of setting the PLM into monitor mode.
Assuming that the PLM is not in monitor mode, then the PLM will only
"see" insteon traffic that is directed to it. Only linked devices will
explicitly send traffic to the PLM.

Insteon PLM parsing serial data

2009-12-21T21:13:56Z

I've seen some posts similar to this, but not quite. I see for
(usually) brief periods of time in the log the following:
12/22/09 12:04:08 AM [Insteon_PLM] Parsing serial data: 02520000
I thought maybe I had a LampLinc going bad, so one at a time I unplugged
the LampLinc modules, but there is still the occasional flood. My PLM
is only a few weeks old, (my last one died unceremoniously).
My Insteon environment is pretty reliable, or was until last night, when
one of my LampLincs started convulsively switching its load on and off.
My wife thought I was taking her back to disco days. At the time I did
not have Insteon debugging enabled, but there was nothing in the log to
show that device being switched on and off.
Questions:
What, if anything, does the serial data 02520000 mean?
If some controller that is not linked to the PLM and MH went haywire
(I'm thinking ControlLinc) would MH see it in the log? I'm thinking
not, based on wiki reading, but not sure.

TIA,
Dave Stenhouse

Re: X10 DS10 strange behavior

2009-12-21T12:50:31Z

If you haven't already done so, my first move would be to replace the
DS10A. I've seen other reports of these things going bad and sending
false positives. They're not very expensive.

Re: Insteon EZIO Support

2009-12-21T12:04:53Z

Sorry for the confusion. I have 1 PLM connected to Misterhouse, and a second one connected to the EZIO8SA module. The only way to get the EZIO module to respond/send Insteon commands is through the attached PLM. I didn't use a PLC for configuration of the EZIO module. I did a manual link from the EZIO module to the misterhouse PLM using the Finish linking as responder function in misterhouse.

Wait, why does it need to PLMs?

(also I thought the EZIO stuff actually required a PLC for easy
configuration but could then be controlled through a PLM...)

Re: Insteon EZIO Support

That is correct, I have two. I had purchased the combo kit from Smarthome (31273P) and it included the PLM with it. --Bob

Hi Bob,

Did I read the documentation correctly that the unit requires a second
PLM to function, separate to the one I use for mister house?

Re: Animated face

2009-12-21T07:05:19Z

Thanks! I wish I had known about this before starting on my project. I have one of those animated Bucks (the mounted deer head) and already tore it down to get the PC board, and servos/motors. I also have plastic eyes coming from China and just got my latex mask to cover everything. But this Boris would have been MUCH easier to work with. Oh well, if this does not work out as planned, then Boris might be my next attempt.

Thanks again,

Tom

If you're going the animatronix route, a good base could be the Boris talking skull. I use that and the jaw moves in sync with the speech and eyes light up when it talks. I think a few others on this list are also using Boris.

X10 DS10 strange behavior

2009-12-20T11:38:24Z

Hello,

Recently my DS10 that I use for a garage door sensor has been going wonky. I have a main MH instance, and the X10 controlled through a proxy instance. This has been incredibly reliable for years. I'm at a loss to figure how to start troubleshooting. I've been in the garage and haven't seen the DS10 light up each minute, so I'm thinking that something else on the powerline is causing 'false positives' leading to errant notifications.

I've removed notification to prevent misterhouse from constantly speaking about the garage door, however I would like to have this back as it is quite useful for us. Any ideas?

My items.mht

RF, F3, garage_ds10
DOOR, garage_ds10, garage_door

My code

if (state_changed $garage_door ) {
print_log "Garage Door is now $garage_door->{state}";
if ( state $garage_door eq 'open' ) {
speak (rooms=> "all", mode=> "unmuted", text=>"Garage Door has just opened");
set $t_garage_door 30*60, 'speak (rooms=> "all", mode=> "unmuted", text=>"Garage Door is still open")',4;
if ($Dark) {
print_log "Garage open, turn on outside lights";
set $outside_light '100%';
}
}

elsif ( state $garage_door eq 'closed' ) {
unset $t_garage_door;
speak (rooms=> "all", text=>"Garage Door has just closed");
}

else {
print_log "Unknown Garage Door event: $garage_door->{state}";
}
}

New gedit syntax hightlight for *.mht

2009-12-18T20:59:47Z

Hi all,

I have created a syntax highlight file for Gedit for *.mht files. Right
now it is very simple but if anyone wants to add to it and send me
updates I'll put it on the wiki, if people are interested.

In the future I'll add highlights for numbers etc.
On Ubuntu, put it in /usr/share/gtksourceview-2.0/language-specs.
Should be similar for Fedora, Debian and others.

Cheers
George

Re: Animated face

2009-12-18T18:40:29Z

Thanks. I will take a look. But in the last few days I decided to build an animatronic head. I changed my "Rosie" to "Hal" (changed the voice to male and plan to make a male head). The benefit to an animatronic head is it will offload the processing power from the PC. I hope to have a working model in a couple weeks or so.

Re: Insteon EZIO Support

2009-12-18T16:11:34Z

Hello,
I hope I send this along correctly, I have not used a list like this before.
I've been using Misterhouse for about 2 years now, and I really like all the
flexibility.

I purchased an EZIO8SA about 9 months ago and have been using the input
sensor channels for monitoring my two garage doors, a water sensor on the
floor as an alarm, and a water pump run time monitor. I just linked the
input sensors to the PLM like they were a switch, so when any of the input
channels triggered I would get an ON/OFF in Misterhouse. I didn't figure
out how to run the relays using the Insteon code, so I set them up with X10
commands to open and close the doors. I would have used it for an HVAC
control setup if the X10 commands were more reliable, my LCD TV really
creates a lot of noise on the line. Switching to Insteon commands would be
great.

I would be interested in helping with testing and any coding to be able to
control the relays.

Thanks
Bob Bensen

translation: "if you can figure out how to do it yourself, then it
should be possible". Maybe I can offer a few paths of possible direction:

1) "Do it yourself option". The EZIO command set (per your link above)
looks remarkably like Simplehomenet's EzFlora (aka EzRain). You could
consider using lib/Insteon_Irrigation.pm as a point of departure. That
doesn't mean "hacking" Insteon_Irrigation.pm, but rather making a copy
of it, renaming and modifying as needed to get it to run w/i your
personal lib directory. I can probably help a bit with questions about
Insteon_Irrigation as I helped some of the users get it going. Realize
that Insteon_Irrigation does not provide complete support for EzRain
either--although apparently enough to satisfy the current users.

2) "Wait for me to do it". It will be far more easy to get a fully
functional class working within the new insteon class hierarchy than
what exists now such that the majority if not all of the EZIO
functionality can be leveraged. But, it will have to wait until I get
the new core insteon complete. From a timeline perspective, I will
probably commit what I have into a new branch in early January with
hopes that I can get others to help test through February. That would
mean likely not getting very far on a new EZIO class until February or
March. I have not yet ported Insteon_Irrigation.pm as it currently
exists to utilize the new framework.

Option #1 possibly yields more quick results (depending on your
inclinations). However, anything done there will still have to be
"ported" as part of #2 eventually.

Re: mySQL and misterhouse

2009-12-18T11:06:41Z

I was able to use your advice and got it to work great. My two problems were
that it was running every mh cycle, which was a huge oversight on my part,
so I just threw it in a voice command so I can manually run it if need be
and that fixed my connection problem and then also you had the correct usage
of the weather vars. So now it's updating, just need to tweak it a bit to
get it all set. Thanks for the help!

If the above is not doing what you want it to do, then a common
troubleshooting technique would be to simply print out the string that
you are trying to build to rule out anything going on with the DBI libs.
So, for example:

print "INSERT INTO weather (tempOutdoor) VALUES ('$TempOutdoor')\n"

Second, I believe that you are correct that you are incorrectly using
Weather_Items. Instead, I would have used:

$dbh->do("INSERT INTO weather (tempOutdoor) VALUES
('$Weather{TempOutdoor}')");

> #disconnect from database
> $dbh->disconnect or warn "Disconnection error: $DBI::errstr\n";

Do you know that you can use the built-in DBI DB connection support in
mh for connecting to a single DB? Take a look in bin/mh.ini (around
line 1039) and search for dbi_. You can then gain access to the DBI
handle via $main::DBI. So, for example:

$main::DBI->do("INSERT INTO weather (tempOutdoor) VALUES
('$Weather{TempOutdoor}')");

> exit;

The "exit" command doesn't belong in mh user code.

Don't forget to wrap your above insert or update statements in a time
test or you'll do an insert/update every mh cycle (which can be lots).

Re: mySQL and misterhouse

2009-12-18T09:45:14Z

It's on a different machine. The too many connection threads might make
sense since it was making 10 or so rows then timing out. I also changed the
code to how you suggested, but now I get the error:
Error in user code: Can't locate object method "execute" via package
"DBI::db"
I use both DBI and DBD::mysql, so am I missing a package? And if I figure
this out and get it to execute, how do I got about troubleshooting the
connection issue? Here's my updated code(I have the 30 in there just to
troubleshoot):

my $dbh = DBI->connect ("DBI:mysql:database=$db:host=$host",
$user,
$password)
or die "Can't connect to database:
$DBI::errstr\n";

my $sql = "INSERT INTO weather (tempOutdoor) VALUES (?)";

$dbh->prepare($sql);
$dbh->execute('30');

Sounds like you have connection problem, not an SQL problem.

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/gone-away.html

Is this on localhost or different machine.

Perhaps you are eating up to many connection threads?

Also, I do not suggest doing the insert the way you are. It is
vulnerable to SQL Injection.

A better way to query the server with variable data is using placeholders:

my $sql = "INSERT INTO weather (tempOutdoor) VALUES (?)";

My wife and I have iphones. In fact, I don't even own
remotelincs/controlincs. I have been doing everything with my iphone or
laptop. I proxy the web interface through apache. It requires client
certificate and password, TFA.

I have also wanted to put linux in my car. Then I can just use the web
interface from the LCD. But, I figured Home Automation was a better use
of my time and money.... for now.

Yes, I'll be looking into that too. The only flaw with that plan is that I
can't use an X10 gateway and an X10 wireless remote since it would be a bit
too easy for someone to open my garage door/front door without the key.

What's your plan for talking to them? Bulky and expensive remotelincs in
your cars?

I subscribe to this feed and see lots of good questions and answers, so hopefully I can get an answer as well. I'm looking to take all my weather data and put it in a MySQL db that I can access from elsewhere. I plan on updating it every two min or so, so I'll just use an UPDATE query, but have the INSERT query to try and get it working. Wondering what I'm doing wrong. When I was testing it by replacing $TempOutdoor w/ '21', it would insert 10 or so rows of 21, but how i have it written is how I would like it to work and now it doesn't put in any data. I just keep getting the "MySQL server has gone away" error, but I got that when i had 21 in there as well. I'm pretty sure I'm trying to use the $TempOutdoor var wrong, so some help with that would be appreciated as well. Thanks all.

# Category=Weather
#@ Loads the weather varriables to a MySQL database

use DBI;
use Weather_Item;
use weather_common;

#definition of variables
my $db="defaultDB";
my $host="localhost";
my $user="fake";
my $password="fakepass";
$TempOutdoor = new Weather_Item 'TempOutdoor';

#connect to MySQL database
my $dbh = DBI->connect ("DBI:mysql:database=$db:host=$host",
$user,
$password)
or die "Can't connect to database: $DBI::errstr\n";

$dbh->do("INSERT INTO weather (tempOutdoor) VALUES ('$TempOutdoor')");

#disconnect from database
$dbh->disconnect or warn "Disconnection error: $DBI::errstr\n";

exit;

Thanks Marc.

I found this EZIO Command documentation:
http://www.simplehomenet.com/Downloads/EZIOxx%20Command%20Set.pdf

Looks like it could be done. I was originally trying to save a few
dollars by getting an EZIO for two garage doors. Looks like it would
cost more after I buy the sensors. Still I might get one so I can
control central HVAC.

Thanks,
Dan

It's unknown.
The best way to know would be to get one with a return policy, and try it
out.

I did that with an I/O linc and it kind of worked:

but it's not fully supported yet.

Insteon EZIO Support

2009-12-17T11:04:48Z

Hello,

I am wondering if Insteon EZIO Controllers are supported. I didn't see
them in the support page, but the Garage IO Controller is.

Thanks,
Dan

Yes

It is linked to other devices as well. I will test a link only to MH
and see.

No I only have about 10 devices.

So I'll test a MH only link when I get home.

Thanks

Well probably between 30 and 50%. Sometimes I can press the button five
or six times before I get response and that is waiting a couple of
seconds between each press.

Cheers

Are you seeing (when it works) both the initial (broadcast) message as
well as the cleanup (directed) message sent from the KPL in your debug log?

Is the KPL button that you are testing linked only to mh or to other
device(s) as well? If the latter, can you test a button that is only
linked to mh?

From looking at your logs, is there any likelihood of insteon traffic
occurring at the time that you are clicking the KPL button?
