Problem with chacon module and rfxcom

[webextension]

Hello, First of all, it's important to say that job is amazing! Thank you very much for this project !! But, I have a problem since I flashed my RFXLAN TX/RX to work with the xplperl firmware provide bu RFXCOM... :-( I would like to expose you my problem, because it's weird !! Every X10/oregon scientific events are received in the XPL-HUB, even chacon events. Chacon events ar recognized by a AC.BASIC SCHEMA, but since I flashed my RFXCOM, every chacon events cannot be catch into my xpl callback ... Here you will have an explanation of what I have done in order to detect this bug... Maybe that's my mistake .... in this case i will apologize for this useless issue...

My xpl callback catch only AC.BASIC schema from the xpl-hub :

$xpl->add_xpl_callback(id => "logger", self_skip => 0, targetted => 0, callback => &acmsg, filter => { message_type => 'xpl-trig', class => 'ac', class_type => 'basic', });

Run the main loop

$xpl->main_loop();

(***) The callback to log the incoming messages : I display every events with the name of the field and the field itself

sub acmsg { my %p = @_; my $msg = $p{message}; my %info;

        # Put field<->value relation in hash-table. Do not put fields with empty value in hash
        foreach my $field ($msg->body_fields) {

                    if (defined $msg->$field) {
                               $info{$field} = $msg->$field;         

                               print $field;
                               print " -> ";
                               print $info{$field};
                               print " | ";
                    }
        }
        print "\n";

return 1; };

The xpl-logger displays every events

xpl-logger -i lo -v -body ...

This is a oregon sensor.

127.0.0.1:47517 [xpl-trig/sensor.basic: rfxcom-lan.0004a31f625d -> * - th1 0xcb01[temp]=17.7] sensor.basic { device=th1 0xcb01 type=temp current=17.7 units=c } 127.0.0.1:47517 [xpl-trig/sensor.basic: rfxcom-lan.0004a31f625d -> * - th1 0xcb01[humidity]=59] sensor.basic { device=th1 0xcb01 type=humidity current=59 description=normal } 127.0.0.1:47517 [xpl-trig/sensor.basic: rfxcom-lan.0004a31f625d -> * - th1 0xcb01[battery]=100] sensor.basic { device=th1 0xcb01 type=battery current=100 } ...

This is my Chacon sensor.

Since I flashed the firmware, chacon events is detected as a 'ac' class module as described in http://www.rfxcom.com/documents/RFXCOM%20implementation%20xPL.pdf

Before I flashed the firmware Chacon events was detected as a "homeeasy" module

Chacon signals are detected but xpl-perl cannot display them anymore !! I have a blank line now !!!

127.0.0.1:47517 [xpl-trig/ac.basic: rfxcom-lan.0004a31f625d -> *] ac.basic { address=0x050a836 unit=10 command=off }

This is the output of my xpl-perl script described here (***)

xpl-trig-ac.basic -i lo -v Listening on 127.0.0.1:44693 Sending on 127.0.0.1 interval -> 5 | port -> 44693 | remote_ip -> 127.0.0.1 | <= Information about the connection to the hub <= When I use my chacon module I have a blank line and I can't see <= When I use my chacon module I have a blank line and I can't see device -> th1 0x6a01 | type -> temp | current -> 18.5 | units -> c | <= First information about my oregon sensor device -> th1 0x6a01 | type -> humidity | current -> 60 | <= First information about my oregon sensor device -> th1 0x6a01 | type -> battery | current -> 100 | <= First information about my oregon sensor <= When I use my chacon module I have a blank line and I can't see <= When I use my chacon module I have a blank line and I can't see

When I try to display address, unit or command value, my script doesn't work

sub acmsg { my %p = @_; my $msg = $p{message};

    my $command = $msg->command;
    my $address = $msg->address;
        my $unit = $msg->unit;

return 1; };

Thanks to Rfxcom we found out the problem.

This 2 paths don't contain the AC.BASIC schema :

 /usr/share/perl5/xPL/schema
 /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.0/xPL/schema/

I copied HOMEEASY.BASIC.yaml to AC.BASIC.yaml and it works.

Thank you very much

Yes. I was about to reply with a similar suggestion. In the next release, due soon I am changing the code to avoid relying on the schema files and the API will change slightly ...

  $msg->$field

will become:

  $msg->field($field)

and class and class_type methods are combined into a single schema field.
