xsherlock Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Hi, I see that on a German forum there is nice discussion on the Beta OH2 bindings, I wish we have the same here in English./ What is the status of the binding?, is it any good for production use? Can we have some documentation? I'm just starting a new major automation project that will be OH2 based and wonder if I can start using that binding or I have to rely on the custom Python/MQTT bridges for all of inputs and outputs.

rtrbt Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Hi, The bindings are still in beta, but everything should be working, there is only some polishing missing, but I've been occupied with other projects for the last few months. There will be some changes to the modeling of some Bricklets, for example input pins of the IO Bricklets are currently OnOffTypes but will be changed to OpenClosedTypes. We actually have documentation available here: https://www.tinkerforge.com/en/doc/Software/API_Bindings_openHAB.html#api-bindings-openhab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xsherlock Posted September 21, 2020 Author Share Posted September 21, 2020 Ok, but in the docs somehow I can find of the basic thing definition example by text , hope that is still possible by the text file, and you are not relying on the PaperUI.

rtrbt Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Currently the Bindings only work with PaperUI. I've tried implementing support for the text files, but using them causes strange behaviour where things and channels are duplicated. I'm not sure if this can be fixed easily, as I'm assuming this is a problem with the dynamic thing and channel creation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xsherlock Posted September 21, 2020 Author Share Posted September 21, 2020 meh, this is a no go for me, I need a text file config as often I do auto generate things from a template file for repetitive controllers. (like when I have 10 roms with 4 fancoil heaters each). Would that still be a problem when a user would be very careful not to do any things in PaperUI?

dewitpa@hotmail.com Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Hi, Any chances to have a OH3 Tinkerforge binding. I added the OH2.5 jar file in the OH3 addons folder, reboot raspberry and .... no Tinkerforge binding listed. This OH2.5 jar file works fine on OH2.5.9 version but not on OH3.0 Thanks, Patrick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtrbt Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Hi, I'm currently still occupied with other projects, but the openHAB binding development will continue sooner or later. As per the feedback in the german thread, I will probably target openHAB 3 for the "finished" release of the bindings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat28 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Hi everyone, Now that OH3 is out, i do not find the Tinkerforge binding. It was working with the 2.5 version without any problems. Any idea when the OH3 Tinkerforge binding will be available? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtrbt Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Hi, Sorry this will take another few months. I've got a (slowly shrinking) heap of tasks with higher priority, and once that is done, I will port the binding to OH3 and finish it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat28 Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Hi rtrbt, Any chances to squeeze the new Tinkerforge Openhab 3.0 binding between your other todo list? Thank you. Patrick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtrbt Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Hi, I don't think so, sorry. Finishing the binding will take some time, I would estimate about two to four weeks. So it is not really squeezeable. I will continue to work on the binding as soon as the heap of tasks for our charging station is done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat28 Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 Hi rtrbt Did you finish your charging station software? Any chance to have the new Openhab 3.1.0 binding soon? ETA ? Thanks Patrick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtrbt Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 Sorry, I've got no ETA yet. Everyone here is still focused on programming and building the chargers. The project is not dead, but don't expect a new version in the next few months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
