Hello Cedric
Any news?
Thanks

Hi Ciceron,

I have a new build that should support the vmb1dm, vmb2bl and vmbp8.
However, I havenā€™t found the time to test it properly yet.
You can already give it a try if you want, but I wonā€™t be able to make any changes before the end of next week.

vmb2bl vmb6in vmbpb8 are all reconized.

BUT

1-Vmb2bl doesnt work

2-Dont know how to add as item vmb6in and vmb8pb

\3-Vmb1dm is accepting commands but only after multiple clicks, we had same problem in velbuslink, problem was fixed The time parameter that is set in the packet, was wrong. according to VEL448
:slight_smile:Velbuslink 9.82 and vmb1dm problem

ā€˜ā€˜Meaning that the last two bytes should be 0xFF 0xFF to have the fastest dimtime.ā€™ā€™

Hi Ciceron,

The timing problem of the vmb1dm should be fixed in the last version I send.
The binding should now send exactly the same packets as in your screenshot of the VelbusLink logging.

I build a new version with extra logging:
https://we.tl/EBXvhmibAT

This version will output the packets that are send for the vmb1dm and vmb2bl modules in the openhab.log file.
Can you try it and compare the packets with the ones that are send from VelbusLink?

unfortunatly not working.

for all things i receive:
2018-05-04 18:45:34.517 [hingStatusInfoChangedEvent] - ā€˜velbus:vmb2bl:289df891:D6ā€™ changed from INITIALIZING to UNINITIALIZED (HANDLER_INITIALIZING_ERROR): org.eclipse.smarthome.core.util.HexUtils.hexToBytes(Ljava/lang/String;)[B

I tried older Bindings in same config, no issue in statusā€¦

tried the whole day, no luckā€¦

Thank you

Hi Ciceron,

Can you share the full log file?
The message seems to say something about the hexToBytes function, which is used to convert the ā€œaddressā€ setting of your Thing to a byte. But from the portion you posted I canā€™t see whatā€™s going wrong.

sur right away
I think all that time i was installing repository binding, have to check :frowning:

44

openhab.log (95.6 KB)
This the log of repository binding not latest one.
i am preparing a log with latest snapshot binding

I am experiencing same problem even with repository bindingā€¦now

45

i deleted everything.
rebooting computer.
reinstalling 2.3 snapshot
putting your snapshot binding in addon folder
launching start.bat
opening http://localhost:8080/start/index
choosing simple Ui
configuration>system>access remote repository OFF / autoignore ON/ autoapprove ON / simple mode linking ON > SAVE
Configuration>thing + >Serial Com choosed ONLINE

  • seaching for things

Output: no thing found, but listed in configuration>things as UNINITIALISED

AM I doing something wrong??

This is the log of YOUR latest SNAPSHOT binding.

Hi Ciceron,

I found the following line in the log file:
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.eclipse.smarthome.core.util.HexUtils.hexToBytes

Actually, the hexToBytes method is a method that has been added to the openHab snapshot version only a few weeks ago.
The fact that the method cannot be found could indicate that you are not running on the latest snapshot version of openHab, either because you are running on the Stable version, or because your Snapshot version is from before the addition of the hexToBytes method.

If you are running on a raspberry pi, can you try to switch to the latest snapshot version using openhabian-config -> openHAB related -> openHAB unstable?

hi i am running on windows
where could i find latest snapshot, couldnt find latest
i have 2.3.0 snapshot of 26/03/18.
many thanks

Ok, that explains it, the hexToBytes method has been added on 31/03/2018 :slight_smile:
You can find the latest snapshot version on CloudBees:
