rain state

[pergolafabio]

Hi @PLCHome

can you help me out with a sample script to retrieve the rain sensor state? it should be available in the

Seems if the Minvalue !=0 , then its raining

thnx , appreciated!!

[PLCHome]

Sorry, I don't have a rain sensor. Therefore I do not know how this is queried.

np, i can try out , but i think i need to send this command? GW_GET_LIMITATION_STATUS_REQ

tried script below, but it gives an error

any idea? not sure how i need to send that command, quite new to this ...

'use strict'
const velux = require('velux-klf200-api')

velux.on('NTF',(data)=>{
  console.log(data)
})

velux.connect('192.168.0.18',{})
.then(()=>{
  return velux.login('xxx')
})
.then((data)=>{
  return velux.sendCommand({ api: velux.API.GW_GET_LIMITATION_STATUS_REQ  })
})
.then((data)=>{
  console.log(data)
})
.catch((err)=>{
  console.log(err)
  return velux.end()
})

To query the position of a window, the home monitor must be started. Maybe that's the problem here too.

[pergolafabio]

the home monitor is started,if i send other commands like this : GW_GET_VERSION_REQ , i get valid output its because i am also running Home Assistant, that enables the home monitor

i am just not sure how to send those limitation commands

[PLCHome]

GW_GET_LIMITATION_STATUS_REQ has parameter, the call is: return velux.sendCommand({ api: velux.API.GW_GET_LIMITATION_STATUS_REQ , commandOriginator: [int], priorityLevel: [int], indexArrayCount: [int], indexArray: [array of int], parameterID: [int], limitationType: [int] }

[pergolafabio]

was trying this command :

return velux.sendCommand({ api: velux.API.GW_GET_LIMITATION_STATUS_REQ , commandOriginator: 1, priorityLevel: 2, indexArrayCount: 1, indexArray: 1, parameterID: 0, limitationType: 0 })

but gives me :

any idea? probably something wrong with the command array maybe? sorry , quite new to this

[pergolafabio]

also, if i look in manual, you are talking about a commandoriginator and prioritylevel? i dont see that? is it possible that your parameters were wrong?

[PLCHome]

I dont know.

[pergolafabio]

ok, last question then

how do i need to write this?

indexArrayCount: [int], indexArray: [array of int],

for example :

indexArrayCount: 2, indexArray: [1,2]

is that a valid syntax?

There is an issue in the file klf.js: In line 2002 "27" have to replace with "25"

[pergolafabio]

@bergstermann Ah, do you have it working? Can you show your code?

[bergstermann]

I´m using it in node red.

[pergolafabio]

But you have to send the command right? How is your command?

[bergstermann]

The parameter in node red: {"sessionID":1,"indexArrayCount":1,"indexArray":[0],"parameterID":0,"limitationType":1}

Fixed

[pergolafabio]

Ok, thnx for this, gonna try this later

[pergolafabio]

Hey @bergstermann , i was not able to test yet... Have you been able too? What are the values when it's raining/ not raining? Did it also update when the windows was in a closed state?

[bergstermann]

It works. 7 percent ist the limitation of window opening by rain. When the window is closed, the limitation is also sent.

[pergolafabio]

Cool, do you also use Home Assistant?

[bergstermann]

No Redmatic on Homematic CCU3

[pergolafabio]

Is 7, is that the value of the ventilation mode? So it only opens to 7% ?

In my case , when it's raining and the windows are closed, then I can't open them, also not in ventilation mode

Do you read out the minvalue ?

[bergstermann]

Yes, 7% ist the ventilation mode. LimitationType 0

[pergolafabio]

And what is the limitationtype when it's raining? I have heard , if it's NOT 0 , then it means it's raining

[pergolafabio]

i have found another github, with python programming, so i am using that one now :)
