OpenHABian install failing

Wed, 15 Aug 2018 10:23:24 +0000

Good Day all

I'm tried to install OpenHABian yesterday on my Pine64+, but on first boot, it hangs at the wlan detection phase.

A few questions:
1. Can I comment (#) out the wlan ssid and wlan psk settings in the openhabian.conf file?
2. Will this allow the OpenHABian install to find my ethernet network automatically?
3. Or do I have to make other changes on first boot?

I have tried the OpenHAB documentation, but found no fixes, only not to, include the ssid and psk settings in the config file, then it should automatically go to your wired network for setup. But in my case this fails.

Any suggestions would be helpful.

Thanx.

GPIO binding

Fri, 12 Jan 2018 08:56:06 +0000

Anyone got GPIO binding working without running openHAB as root?
My hardware level tested and confirmed working by running python scripts, but no luck getting it to work under openHAB.

Boot from USB/msata

Thu, 26 Oct 2017 20:57:58 +0000

Hi,

I read in other forum threads that it's possible to just have the boot image on the SD-card but then boot that actual OS from USB (or in most cases also from USB->msata connectors but in OpenHAB forum I didn't find a single thread about this.

Is nobody worried about sd-card corruption as openhab is writing logs and stuff constantly afaik.

Anyhow, what do I have to change (probably in boot partition) to actually boot from USB/msata SSD and how to copy OS Partition from card to ssd given I only have a windows machine (no linux with cardreader available).

Would greatly appreciate any help on this.

Best regards,

Marc

Show Hubpanel on pine64 display

Sat, 15 Apr 2017 11:44:54 +0000

I´m just started with openhab and have a short question:

Is it possible to run openhab on the pine and use the pine touchdisplay to control the habpanel at the same time?
Or do I have to use another device to run openhab and use the pine with linux or android to show the habpanel on the display?

the backgroud is that I want to use some kind of wall-mounted display to control openhab.

Help connecting to web interface - Newbie

Sun, 12 Mar 2017 22:27:19 +0000

Hello,

I have spent two days searching online before writing this, so please forgive me if the info is indeed out there somewhere.

I am fairly new to much of this as well as Linux but am determined and have struggled my way to having installed openhab on pine64 1Gig model with 16g SD card, bt/wifi module, and z-wave module. I have read and followed rabbit trails of links and forum threads and with much treasure hunting finally found the openhabian password and username and was able to log in and execute the "sudo openhabian-config". Clicked on pretty much all the options in the openhabian configuration tool, connected to wifi no problem.

In trying to find out how this 'easy', 'hassle free' connection all works. The link to the 'start here' and 'beginner tutorials' all seem to point to the open hab guides which show a screen of which package to choose, although I would love to get to this off my pine64, I cannot get past the command line to find any sort of UI or GUI, or know how to connect to myopenhab. Like when it says "will become available"...I need how to access, or know if it's become available.

I managed to find my IP address, as the tutorials said "will be a few more minutes until localhost becomes available" I am stuck!

I am obviously missing something, please, please don't point me to the wiki getting started guide, as I have gone through pretty much every link I could find on the topic, and I still can't find out how to make it past:

openhabian@openHABianPine64:~$

I would LOVE to see something I can click on...like this paper UI or something...

A couple hints would be greatly appreciated.

Pine64 with Openhab2 - Starting guide/accessories

Fri, 03 Mar 2017 12:53:41 +0000

So, with Openhab2 available I thought I might get myself into home automation.

Could anyone please let me know what do I need to start?

Do I need to get the Pine64 Z-Wave module or I'm better off with a USB stick instead?

What would you recommend me to buy in terms of accessories/peripherals as absolute basics to start with the project?

Many thanks!

openHABian for pine64 available

Sat, 18 Feb 2017 03:07:28 +0000

Good news for openHAB on pine64. The raspberry pi automated install has been updated to support the pine64.

This means a complete image including Ubuntu and all openHAB prerequisites. Only takes a few minutes now to get things running.

Details here: http://docs.openhab.org/installation/pine.html

And here: https://community.openhab.org/t/openhabi.../13379/737

Simple quesiton

Mon, 09 Jan 2017 03:06:01 +0000

Need some basic help since the packaging didn't provide any clues and I haven't been able to find anything in my searches. I have the Openhab configuration with zwave card and serialapi_controller_static_ZW5304_USBVCP_US.

Where does the Zwave card get 'plugged' into?

The same question for the serialapi ... Also just guessing this provides a serial interface to get console access? Maybe useful if you are not connected to a lan?

Also it looks like they shipped a push button but don't know the use of this or where it would get 'plugged' in. Guessing it is some sort of reset button so you don't need to pull the power.

Thanks

Help with Openhab2 please

Sat, 07 Jan 2017 14:33:24 +0000

Im trying to get Openhab2 to run on my Pine64 with my Aeon Zwave gen5 stick.
Lots of problems with the the device not found. If I use the openHAB Image 20160915 base on Ubuntu Linux Longsleep image everything works great.
The problem is I would like to use Debian Base (3.10.102 BSP 2).
I have seen that I must use 32bit java so it will work.
Looked everywhere for a 32 bit version for the pine64. There is so many different versions and so confusing.
Would anyone know the steps I need to do to get it working?

Configuring WiFi Module via SSH

Fri, 11 Nov 2016 19:23:00 +0000

Hi All,

I have been trying to setup my wifi module that came with the Pine64.
It seems to be recognized in iwconfig:

openhab@openhab:~$ iwconfig
eth0 no wireless extensions.

lo no wireless extensions.

However when I try configuring I get an error:

Error for wireless request "Set ESSID" (8B1A) :

Any help on how to get this connected to my secured network?
I can connect via my network currently with the pine plugged in and have access to http://openhab:8080 but havent seen wifi configuration tool in web interface. I'm new to both openhab and commandline operations...

Thanks for any help!

Pine has the Linux version of OpenHAB 2.0 functioning now.

zwave module not available

Sat, 01 Oct 2016 14:28:09 +0000

Hi,

I'm using the pine64_openhab_20160915_8GB.img image with the zwave module and adapter for the PI2 GPIO header but it seems as if the zwave module is not detected. The module should turn up as /dev/ttyS2 but from syslog all I get is:

Sep 24 07:57:58 openhab kernel: [ 8.285353] uart2: ttyS2 at MMIO 0x1c28800 (irq = 34) is a SUNXI

And then in openhab.log:

Any ideas on what could be wrong?

Hi there,
I am starting with my Pine64 board and want to install OpenHab. As it is, I have an empty SD card. So my question is how to proceed to get up and running with openhab.
Thanks,
