OpenNethome - an open home automation project

So, now I have built a first rough version of the Belkin Wemo Insight switch Item. It is still a little rough around the edges, but it would be good if someone could test it a bit. It currently logs a bit extra while I am trying it out. To use it you must first create a UPnPScanner-Item. After that,...

Well, this being a hobby project, the response times are not really predictable... The precious hours i get to spend on this have to be carefully householded. But I usually try to prioritize if someone have some kind of problems, and I did not realize that this was something acute, so it was a bit f...

Well, I am getting closer. I can now find my Insight Switch with UPnP, and I have a HomeItem that can turn it on and off and read the power consumption. Right now I am refactoring the auto-creation framework so it can handle auto-creation from the UPnP-Events. It goes a bit slow when you only get th...

Well, it sort of is, but you actually have to restart the server for that change to take effect. If you are running on a raspberry you run the shell command: sudo /etc/init.d/nethome restart After you have changed the port in the GUI. I guess it would be possible to make this change take effect imme...

Hmm, you are right, that handling of lost connection does not look too good. I will have to do some improvements there.

Well, I am actually working on that integration right now. I have a WemoInsight switch that I am experimenting on. The UPnP stuff it uses for discovery was a bit more complicated than I expected, but I am getting close now...

Unfortunately I think Linux will assign the COM-port a new name when you plug it in again. I will check a bit more in detail.

Ok, this was a bit embarrassing... I had made the change and tested it - but... I had failed to commit the change to GitHub, so it was not in the nightly build. I have done that now, and I tested to download from nightly build and it worked. So it should be ok now.

If you want to see the strings from Tellstick, you can create a DebugManager-Item. Set the LoggerContext to "nu.nethome.home.items.tellstick", and the WantedLogLevel to "Fine" and press Apply. After that you select "ApplyLogLevel". After that, the messages from Tellstic...

Well, it is a bit more complicated... The states of the Items are only saved directly when you actually edit an Item and then press save. Apart from that, all Items are automatically saved once every hour. I don't want to save them too often, as this will wear down the flash cards too fast on a Rasp...
