OpenNethome - an open home automation project

You are welcome, I am glad to help! I did try this for Philips Hue, as it looked in the API as it would work - it did not. When it comes to the IKEA lamps, they have not released any API Documentation (that I am aware of), so I have had to reverse engineer and rely on others on the net that has done...

Aha cool!
Yes, you are right, the ValueTrigger-Item is the right one, and you may have to use multiple if you want more levels. I have been thinking about adding "ActionOnBetween" and "ActionWhileBetween" on the Item, so you can at lease cover three cases with one Item.

ah, that was a clever workaround! I agree with your point previously, that it would make sense to configure rooms in the sending device. There are two problems involved: First of all, the events does not currently contain information about the sender. Either I would have to add that code to all lamp...

Ok, now I am finally understanding what you are trying to do. The problem is still that all these special characters mess things up when Java tries to execute shell commands. Try to build a script that takes parameters without special characters. say for example that the script looks like this: /bin...

Well, there are a few complications here. First of all, the TCPCommandPort does not allow the "exec" command. This is simple way to reduce the risk of malicious use of remote access. You can go around this by first create a Scene-Item where the first action is the exec you want to do. Then...

Hi I am not sure what you are exactly trying to do here, but one thing to notice is that the exec-command does currently not return any result values, so doing an exec with a echo does not do anything. Also you have to start with an echo if you want to pipe into netcat. Here is one example that turn...

Ok, I am really glad that the problem seems to be solved! I am still very surprised about the cause though... I find it hard to understand how either of those two causes could have had the effect that it worked for a while and then stopped (but not for the app). Well, hardware related issues can be ...

That would make a lot of sense from the user perspective, since the room indicate physical location. Unfortunately it would be harder to implement. The way it works right now, the lamp-Item sends an event on the internal event bus to send the ON command. This event can be picked up by any other Item...

Hi PeterS, Thanks, I am glad you like the stuff!! Your problem is not new, this subject has been brought up before. There are currently only two solutions to the problem: One is to separate the two transmitters so far, so they do not interfere with each other. The other solution is to use different ...

There is another possibility - that the GW changes port is uses. I have now implemented an updated version where the GW-Item also reads the port from the mDNS reply, and also updates the port (and IP) if it changes in later mDNS entries. It is in the nightly build.
