Tasmota, Sonoff, and OpenHab

$ Openhab-rules.md

Add rules

vim $OPENHAB_CONF/rules/default.rules

1. rule "email Backyard Temperature every morning and every night"

• OU_Backyard_Temperature must be defined in an .items file

import org.eclipse.smarthome.core.library.types.QuantityType
import org.eclipse.smarthome.core.library.unit.SIUnits

rule "email Backyard Temperature every morning and every night"

when
  Time cron "00 40 06 ? * MON-FRI *" or
  Time cron "00 15 08 ? * SAT,SUN *" or
  Time cron "0 0 21 1/1 * ? *"
then
  val QuantityType<Temperature> myCelsius = new QuantityType<Temperature>(OU_Backyard_Temperature.state, SIUnits.CELSIUS)

  // convert a quantity state into a different unit:
  val myFahrenheit = myCelsius.toUnit("°F")

  val msg = "Temperature = " + myCelsius + " (" + myFahrenheit + ")" +
     "\nHumidty = " + OU_Backyard_Humidity.state + "%" +
     "\nWifi = " + OU_Backyard_Wifi.state + "%"

  val dateStr = String::format( "%1$tl:%1$tM%1$tp %1$tB %1$te", new java.util.Date)
  logInfo("Temperature Notification", msg)
  sendMail("{MyOpenHABUserEmail}@email.com", "Temperatura afuera " + dateStr, msg)
end

2. rule "Rule update light status on openhab startup"

rule "Rule update light status on openhab startup"
when
  System started
then
  logInfo("RuleParsed", ruleFilename)

  val actions = getActions("mqtt","mqtt:broker:ee9988bb")
  actions.publishMQTT("tasmota/cmnd/sonoff-basic-999/POWER", "")
end

All Tasmota devices

# SetOption65 1 will turn off fast power cycle detection device recovery. This will avoid reset to default
# firmware settings if there are several reboots or brownouts. Warning: there will be no way to reset
# settings without physical access to the device

Sonoff Basic R1

A slight modification of the Tamosta rule cookbook #14

"Using Timers, you can be set to turn on and off a light for iluminate a street/patio by night. But if the Sonoff Device has no power at the trigger time, then, when it powers up, the light will be off all night. So, as a failsafe, can be implemented a conditional control to be checked at Sonoff Startup with rules."

Also as an ehancment to the existing rule, after a 10 second delay, check the current power state, so that MQTT message is published. This is better than a retained MQTT message, so that OpenHAB gets the latest POWER state after a reboot of the ESP8266 Sonoff device.

# Handle case when mains power was cut off and then turned back on
# If before midnight and after sunset, or if before sunrise and after midnight, then turn on the light
# If daytime then turn off the light
Rule1 ON Time#Initialized DO backlog event checksunrise=%time%; event checksunset=%time% ENDON
ON event#checksunset>%sunset% DO power1 1 ENDON
ON event#checksunrise<%sunrise% DO power1 1 ENDON

# reboot everyday at 10am. It was unreachbale via Wifi once, so see if this does anything
Rule2 on Time#Minute==600 do restart 1 endon

Turn on those rules

backlog Rule1 1; Rule2 1

# Set saving of paramters if there are "changes" every 600 seconds

Sonoff TX T3

Still an open issue with Ghost switching because of capacitor hardware problem with the Sonoff TX switch. NOT the more talked about MQTT ghost switching problem when retain is on. This is attempt to resolve that issue, making the touch screen less sensitive

# - this buttondebounce is still debatable 2020-July
# - poweronstate power OFF after reboot
# - Stop detecting input change on the button GPIO. Solves #5449
# - SetOption40 Active only when SetOption1 1 and SetOption13 0. This disables all long press functionality. 
#     Must reverse to configure the IR remote

Install Openhab

xzcat ./openhabian-pi-raspbian-201908050414-gitca0976f-crc6a66b5a1.img.xz | sudo dd bs=4m of=/dev/diskN

• Open the file openhabian.conf in a text editor
• Uncomment and fill in wifi_ssid="My Wi-Fi SSID" and wifi_psk="password123"

Configuration and maintenance

• Fix issue with openhab rules that have cron jobs. Perhaps openhab started before time sync since internet at this location is slow
• Thanks: https://blog.debiania.in.ua/posts/2020-11-27-howto-delay-a-systemd-service-until-the-clock-is-synchronized.html

# Confict between ntp.service and systemd-timesyncd.service. Just remove NPTD
sudo apt remove ntp ntpdate sntp chrony
sudo systemctl enable --now systemd-timesyncd.service

# make time-sync.target wait until the clock is synchronized
sudo systemctl enable --now systemd-time-wait-sync.service

# edit openhab service
sudo systemctl edit openhab.service

• Add to openhab service config

[Unit]
After=time-sync.target
Wants=time-sync.target

# verify after reboot
sudo journalctl -b -u systemd-timesyncd.service -u systemd-time-wait-sync.service -u time-sync.target -u openhab.service

maintenance

• Openhab log files tail -f /var/log/openhab2/events.log -f /var/log/openhab2/openhab.log

• Mosquitto conf

log_dest syslog

# Tag as LOCAL0 for rsyslog
log_facility 0
log_timestamp false

• Append to /etc/rsyslog.conf

# append to /etc/rsyslog.conf
local0.* -/var/log/mosquitto.log

• MQTT logs

  • rsyslogd is the SYSLOG server process logging to /var/log/user.log. All the remote MQTT clients are remote logging to this SYSLOG server
  • The Mosquitto server is configured to log to syslog and the rsyslog conf is sending LOCAL0 to the mosquitto.log file

  tail -f /var/log/user.log -f /var/log/mosquitto.log
  

• backup

sudo systemctl stop openhab2.service
sudo systemctl stop mosquitto
sudo openhab-cli backup

• sync backup file to a local machine

rsync -avz -P openhab-machine.local:/var/lib/openhab2/backups/openhab2-backup-19_06_18-17_08_54.zip .

Logging

• Karaf console change logging example

ssh -p 8101 openhab@localhost
log:list | grep -i mqtt

log:set DEBUG org.eclipse.smarthome.binding.mqtt
log:set DEBUG org.eclipse.smarthome.binding.mqtt.action
log:set DEBUG org.eclipse.smarthome.io.transport.mqtt
log:set DEBUG org.openhab.binding.mqtt

logout

• Directly edit debug config file
