@rob-1 sagte in Open Gate:

@homoran sorry i got nothing installed like this atm. I just wonder if i can do it somehow
atm iam using siri and tell her to open or close gate but i would like it fully automated

I do not know what for Apps are available in your area.
Here some user are working with a geofencing app, connected to ioBroker.

With this you can automate it. But be aware what will happen if you`re coming home from pub not really looking clearly 😉 with the phone in your pocket

@ap2017 sagte in Zigbee device availability detection:

@thomas-braun I thought about it first, but switch does not show power when in ON state with no load connected, don't think load needs to be connected for voltage reading. Tried it with load connected, still does not read voltage. Just in case, I filed an issue at Zigbee github regarding not able to read voltage.

The load voltage state will also not be usable for connection detection. The reason is simple:

A plug which is connected may update this state once every x minutes, with x usually being within the range of 5 to 300. If you power of the plug, it lacks the power to update the value, hence the state will remain at the last state sent by the plug. This is true for any state published by the plug.

There are very few devices which publish their states in a short interval. Most only post changes to their values, and even then have a minimum time difference between posting different values.

The available state has the same issue. It is generated by the adapter attempting to obtain a response from the device using a "ping request". In theory, all line powered devices should respond to ping requests. Unfortunately, there are line powered devices which report as "end devices" and as such will not report to ping requests, i.e. their status cannot easily be verified.

iobroker upgrade admin

Fixed, thank you

@thomas-braun said in Adapter Update Log:

Aber was willst du denn damit machen?

Erst einmal die vorherige Version des Adapters installieren, damit zunächst alles wieder funktioniert. Wenn ich dann Zeit habe, kann ich auf die Fehlersuche gehen.

@ap2017
Hi see this link

this work

@ap2017 yes, the zigbee connection strenght fluctuates also in my case. Since I have only two devices yet, I suppose this becomes more smooth if I have more devices running that create a tighter mesh network. In some weeks I will have some more devices running, let's see.

@normhenderson If the instance connects, the whole problem is usually that not the right registers are configured. I do not have the Victron CCGX but you should carefully read the register documentation of the Victron device and set the right one up in the adapter instance. Regarding your question 2: In my "holding register tab" I cannot find a separate SLAVE ID information. What exactly are you referring to? ad 3: If you configured the right registers, you will find values behind the data objects.
I have to admit that the modbus is tricky if you are not familiar in the details of the protocol.

@david-g thanks my friend I understood what is going on, I will try myself now you had helped me enough, I will translate the words, I will found the solution now
Thank you all for your help

@kristfrizh Thank you for the update!
good to hear it works and good luck and have fun!

@paul53 Naja Formal ist es ein Unterschied (auf einer reinen Datenebene) ob ein State einen Wert hat - und ja formal ist auch "null" ein Wert der eine spezifische Bedeutung haben kann. Damit braucht es eine Abgrenzung zu "es ist kein Wert da" und das ist genau der Fall hier.

Auch das zurücksetzen von Werten (einige Adapter machen bei "Button" States die an sich immer nur auf true getriggert werden extra timeouts damit der Button wieder auf false zurückgesetzt wird (weil User das gern in Visus so haben wollen ... no offense 😉 ) Wenn aber jetzt der Adapter beendet wird oder das Skript nicht mehr läuft bleibt das halt auf true stehen.

Mit expires kann du den Wert automatisiert "clearen" weil das in der Verantwortung der Datenbank liegt (File-DB bzw Redis sorgt dafür)

Mit expires kann man auch durchaus Überwachungen bauen. Zum Beispiel funktionieren die wie system.adapter.alive so, dass diese alle 15s neu gesetzt werden mit einem expire von 30s oder so. So lange also der prozess läuft expired das nie weil es immer neu gesetzt wird.
Wenn jetzt der Adater komisch hängenbleibt, sodass er nicht crasht aber auch nicht regelmässig alive setzen kann wird der state expiren ... das registriert der Controller und reragiert durch kill des prozesses und neustart ...

Also es gibt durchaus sinnvolle Anwendungsformen.

Die die @AlCalzone beschrieben hat könnte man für alle buttons nutzen (wenn es mit alles visus und der User erwartung kompatibel wäre 😉 )

@arteck Don't know what I did but after a lot of fumbling about, I finally got it to work and now see the temperature sensor in HomeKit!

I have installed node js from the node web site but still get the same message when trying to execute the iobroker program

Any one any ideas!

@maniac_on_moon sagte in Migrating rapsberry pi 3+ to rpi 4 simple way:

On the other hand, is there a clear technical requirement for a new installation?

What do you mean with this? Hardware requirements?

ioBroker generally runs everywhere where Nodejs runs. After that, the question is, what adapters you have and how many instances are running. On a smaller home, a Raspi 4 with 4GB RAM should suffice, if you have a lot of stuff going on, running it on a NAS or even a server running e.g. Proxmox is advisable. Using an SSD and not a SD card should be obvious.
