How to compile...

[majherek]

Hi,

I am new to openhab developement.

If I understand org.eclipse.smarthome.binding.vallox is binding for openHAB 1? How can I compile it? Howto add this binding to openhab top directory?

I successfully compile openHAB from https://github.com/openhab/openhab.git under my Ubuntu.

What is direcotry vallox? Is this standalone JAVA program for Vallox? And again -> how to compile it?

I have trouble with using Eclipse IDE ;-( Normally I use vim + gcc ;-)

And I really want to run this binding.

Thanks in advanced.

Hi,

after some work with eclipse I realise that this is openHAB2 addon.

Program "vallox" use tcp connection to server, which acts as TCP<->RS485 converter? It can't be used with local RS485 com port?

The vallox binding is heavy work in progress. Just in experimental state. I test it by running it from Eclipse with the Eclipse Smart Home in workspace. So far it works fine. Creating a headless build (via Maven Tycho) is one of the next steps.

And yes, I use a Ethernet↔RS485 converter as stated in the readme. I'm not familiar with doing serial (and especially RS485) from within Java. If you provide some code in the "serialWrite" method for accessing the serial interface, I could integrate it and make it a configuration property in the web-configuration. I have no device to test RS485 directly. What device do you want to use?

I now added some stuff (target platform and maven build files) such that a headless build is working:

1. In src directory execute on commandline mvn package
2. On success there should be some target directory within the bundle directory; it should contain one .jar file like org.eclipse.smarthome.binding.vallox-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
3. It is supposed to get installed by throwing it to the OpenHab2 deploy directory; however, it fails for me with some exception, see forum post. Hope to get some hint there

Yesterday, at the evening, I successufully compiled your's project ;-) But I didn't test it yet.

In eclipse installation, I choose: Eclipse IDE for Java Developers. And after that: Github Project -> openHAB -> OpenHAB 2 Add-ons and Eclipse SmartHome Extensions.

Import your's project, and after that export it nito jar file, as described in: https://github.com/openhab/openhab/wiki/How-To-Implement-A-Binding#building-and-packaging.

After I find some soft to convert RS485 to ethernet in linux, I will test the my build and your's build. I successfully compiled it now. (mvn clean install -U).

I use cheapest USB converter from aliexpress. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/new-USB-to-RS485-485-Converter-Adapter-Support-Win7-XP-Vista-Linux-Mac-OS-WinCE5-0/32540188656.html I test it with valloxserial.net on win10. Its work.

Why now in src direcotry there are two dirs: org.eclipse.smarthome.binding.vallox and org.eclipse.smarthome.binding.vallox.target?

I added some more hints in the readme how to compile. You now can compile from commandline via 'mvn package' and copy the resulting *.jar file to the OH2 karaf 'deploy' directory.

The .target directory contains one file, the "target" definition. This XML file contains all dependencies to Openhab and Eclipse Smart Home bundles such that the headless build can download the dependent jars and build the bundle against them. So you do not need to manually setup an eclipse workspace at all. Hope it works for you.

Thanks,

now I can do everything headless linux ;-) There is mistake (should be RS485): Host name or IP address of RS483-to-Ethernet gateway.

I hope, that I write something in java to use local RS485. I will be back ASAP ;-)

Hi,

I finally run the plugin.

I use ser2net package: ser2net - Serial port to network proxy with configuration: 1026:raw:0:/dev/ttyUSB0:9600 8DATABITS NONE 1STOPBIT

1) Is it possible, to implement reconnect in plugin? If i restart ser2net daemon, java lost communication channel to RS<->Ethernet proxy:

2) Is this really true? 2016-11-24 11:15:06.196 [WARN ] [g.vallox.service.ValloxSerialHandler] - Trying to send set-command to read-only channel: PowerState Ignoring. Where can I find which items/channel are read-only?
