Problems with sending to vallox #3

Closed SuperOok closed 7 years ago

SuperOok commented 7 years ago

Taken from #1 from @majherek:

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?

SuperOok commented 7 years ago

No, the error message is misleading: in that case most propably a wrong data type was sent to the PowerState channel. It only supports the OnOffType and not the DecimalType.

SuperOok commented 7 years ago

I enhanced the error messages a bit. PowerState and some other boolean properties require OnOffType commands and not DecimalType commands. If you create a "switch" item in items file and sitemap, it should work. In rules you need to use OnOffType.

See src/org.eclipse.smarthome.binding.vallox/ESH-INF/thing/thing-types.xml for details about the channels. It shows which are read-only and which are not.

Hi,

thanks for explanations. In description of parameter HOST there should be RS485, not RS483 in src/org.eclipse.smarthome.binding.vallox/ESH-INF/thing/thing-types.xml.
