Hi,
Since I was able to enable Openhab and Velbus I was wondering how an automatic time/date sync could be done from the Pi to the Velbus system. Is there a command able to do this?
Thanks again,
Jona
Hi
Iām reliably informed that itās on the to-do list.
When creating āmyā scripts (https://github.com/StefCoene/velserver), I included the option to sync the date and time.
I do this every night at 4 oā clock so the time is corrected after it changed due to daylight saving.
I also added an option that loops all glass panels and configure them so they transmit the temperature every 60 seconds.
In my setup, some of the glass panels forget these settings after a while.

Iāll check it after this sunny WE 
Enjoy your WE and thanks again for your helpful replies.

Hi Stef,
just to make things clear to meā¦
After I upgraded to Openhab 2.3 on the pi, I enabled the Velbus binding 2.3.0 Snapshot This is probably not the same binding as in your Velserver (see above)? So this means that in this 2.3.0 Velbus binding no time sync will be done?
Thanks for your time.
Best regards,
Jona
where can I find the script to reset the temperature settings, Greetings Joram
Iām told that time updating is under test right now 
As are plenty of other great featuresā¦
Looking forward to it Steward. Thanks for sharing this information.
Big thanks also to the developers!
Best regards,
Jona
Hi Jona
Have you tried any of Cedricbās recent versions of the OpenHab2 Velbus binding?
I believe that time & date updating has been in there for quite some time now.
Cheers,
Stuart
Hi Stuart,
Havenāt seen your latest reply because found it in my spam folder todayā¦
Believe I tried the one of 1 month ago. Canāt test it right now because Iām on holidays for 1 month in Canada. Will download latest version upon arrival home. Cedric confirmed you the time and date update in the latest version?
Will let you know when it works.
Thanks as always for your kind help!!!

Hi guys
Any news on this? Also, how can I set this up?
Iām still relatively new to OpenHAB 
Grtz!
Hi
Time updating for Velbus within openHAB2 is taken care of by either of the Velbus Bridge Things.
If you want to adjust the update interval, itās in the āShow Moreā section of the bridge.
If you want a stand alone app for Velbus time updating, @jeroends has written a great little app that runs alongside his VelServ TCP server.
While weāre talking about the Velbus Bridge Thingā¦
Thanks to your help in another post I got the Velbus Network Bridge running.
But when I reboot my rpi the connection is lost, so I have to enter the IP address + port again (127.0.0.1).
Maybe I can make a Velbus Network Bridge Thing āhard-codedā, so not in Paper UI, but in whatās-it-called-where-you-make-your-own-things-so-you-can-use-them-in-eg-Habpanel?
Or would you know another reason why I have to enter that IP every time the rpi reboots?
Thatās never happened to any of the setups Iāve created, on all kinds of machines.
The only person I know that is running a network bridge on a Pi is @RossJe
And as he hasnāt said anything, Iāll assume itās all working perfectly.
Is there anything else in your setup that behaves strangely after a reboot?
is it only after a reboot, or does an openHAB2 restart have the same result?
As for hard coding, (PaperUI stores everything in a JSON file in /var/lib/openhab2 so it should be protected / backed up on each restart) you can look at creating a Text Things file for the Network bridge, but as someone on the community.openhab.org forum says regularly, āits better to find the fault, than create work aroundsā 
As a thought, the next time you have to enter the details, as soon as itās working.
Run these commands to make sure there is a zip backup and a backup of the JSON files.
systemctl stop openHAB2
This will stop openHAB2 and create JSON backups
openhab-cli backup
This will create a Zip file of your whole config
systemctl start openhab2
This will restart openHAB2 for you
No, not reallyā¦
Did the stop-backup-start
Same problem.
As you can see, blankā¦
Edit ā Just saw that the time interval (which I changed to 60) is set back to 360.
So the entire Velbus Network Bridge seems to be a/the problemā¦
Thatās really strange.
What happens if you create a whole new network bridge ?
(Donāt bother linking it to anything, just create a bridge (with a slightly different name) and see if it resets after a restart)
systemctl restart openhab2
Result 
So thereās an issue in the JSON file for the first Velbus bridge
Now just edit each (sorry, canāt think of a way around this) of your Velbus Things and get them to use your new bridge.
Then delete the original one.
Please let me / us know if that works after a reboot / restart
