Ich freue mich auf dein Feedback, wenn möglich auf Englisch bitte.
Vielen Dank

Hi Pawel,

I installed the Loxone binding on openHAB and configured the connection to my Loxone Miniserver via the Paper UI.
Unfortunately the Things status remains on INITIALIZING, no change for hours.
After restarting the Loxone bundle on the Karaf console, I got the following message:

openhab> bundle:list | grep Lox
182 | Active | 80 | 2.1.0.5 | Loxone Binding
openhab> Exception in thread "Thread-351" java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.openhab.binding.loxone.core.LxServer.updateCon fig(LxServer.java:518)

at org.openhab.binding.loxone.core.LxServer$LxServerT hread.run(LxServer.java:404)

Do you have any clue how to solve the problem?
Thanks!

Can you please reply to my private e-mail. I need more details to help you with your problem. Thanks.

[bastelbert]

you've got mail!

[Gast]

Thank you for your feedback. A new version with fixes is available on the github.

Hi,

Can you please explain or point me to the documentation on how to install this binding in OpenHab?

Thanks!

Hello,

can you explain, how I can download the jar-files from github? I'm Newbee in using Github, sorry.

Thank you!

[Gast]

New more detailed installation and configuration instructions with pictures are available on the wiki: https://github.com/ppieczul/org.open...ng.loxone/wiki
In the future I'm planning to add instructions how to integrate Loxone with services like IFTTT, Alexa, Google Home and to create custom UI for Loxone combined with services from other vendors.

Hi do you already have an way to link to Google Home that was just released in Europe?

I have not tried that myself. But this page describes how to get Google Home working with openHAB: https://community.openhab.org/t/goog...egration/32947
once you have that working, it should be fairly easy to make both bindings interact through rules (http://docs.openhab.org/configuration/rules-dsl.html) or even externally from IFTTT.

Yes I tried the link, but my Google Home won't connect tomy heu Emulation with Openhab set to port 80

Hi Pawel, ,
Thanks for this great work! loxone binding works well I want to create custom UI for Loxone but it do not get the final link - the control items (switch or selection does not work.

here my item script
switch Garten_Terasse_lampe "Terassen Lampe" <dimmablelight> (gGarten, gLicht, gTerasse)["Lightning"] {channel="loxone:miniserver:xxx:xxx"}
number EG_Licht "Licht Wohnzimmer" <dimmablelight> (gEG, gLicht)["lightning"] {channel="loxone:miniserver:xxx:xxx"}

but it does not work - do you have an idea?
Thanks, Marlies

Pawel when I add raffstores and change postion by up/down icon the value does not change.

For some unknown reason beta config is again working

[Gast]

Can you paste your channel types to which you link items? They are shown in paperui under thing. What are you doing with the items - how do you operate on them, so that you see them not operating? If that is site map, can you share it? Thanks

Thanky for responding so fast - i have solved some minutes ago - it was a typo

[Gast]

Excellent. Btw do you use habpanel ui? If not, I wanted to recommend it a lot, it is really outstanding.

Just updated to the new binding.... Status: OFFLINE - COMMUNICATION_ERROR Error communicating with Miniserver

Anything I can do to help?

[Gast]

Send the logs in (see details in the message above). I suppose it is a network issue or mini server unreachable ( for example when saving new config to it). . Binding will attempt to connect every 30 seconds. If it does not go online after a minute and you can reach manually your mini server from the same machine, the logs will help me solve it.
