Ok but how do you set scenes with the sitemap?  
 
I still have some disconnects because I tried setting the security mode and it didn't work.  Lots to figure out! Thanks for the help!

 

[swamiller]

I've had to do quite a bit of trial and error.  As you may have noticed the binding is still a work in progress and there isn't much documentation yet.
 
I don't have an elegant example of scenes to share.  Mine currently has a switch for each scene.  I think I can make a "map" selection type of a switch but I haven't done that yet.
 
Here is my alarm set up:
 

My alarm items:

String    AlarmModeDisarm           "Disarm [%s]"                       (Areas_House)            {channel="omnilink:area:home:1:disarm"}
String    AlarmModeDay              "Day [%s]"                          (Areas_House)            {channel="omnilink:area:home:1:day"}
String    AlarmModeNight            "Night [%s]"                        (Areas_House)            {channel="omnilink:area:home:1:night"}
String    AlarmModeAway             "Away [%s]"                         (Areas_House)            {channel="omnilink:area:home:1:away"}
String    AlarmModeVacation         "Vacation [%s]"                     (Areas_House)            {channel="omnilink:area:home:1:vacation"}
String    AlarmModeDayInstant       "Day Instant [%s]"                  (Areas_House)            {channel="omnilink:area:home:1:day_instant"}
String    AlarmModeNightDelayed     "Night Delayed [%s]"                (Areas_House)            {channel="omnilink:area:home:1:night_delayed"}


Group:Contact:OR(OPEN, CLOSED) Zones "All Zones [%s]"
Group:Switch:OR(ON, OFF) Alarms      "All Alarms [%s]"


Number    AlarmStatusSelect
Number    AlarmMode                 "Alarm [MAP(area-modes.map):%s]"    (Areas_House)            {channel="omnilink:area:home:1:mode"}
Number    ConsoleBeep                                                   (Areas_House)            {channel="omnilink:controller:home:beep"}
 
Sitemap alarm mode selection:


Frame label="Security"{


Selection item=AlarmStatusSelect label="Select Mode" icon="shield" mappings=[0="Off",1="Day",2="Night", 3="Away",4="Vacation"] 
        Text item=AlarmMode  label="Current Alarm Status"  icon="house"
 

 
I'm not sure of the designed functionality, but I was able to make the alarm set using my user code (replaced by "XXXX") by creating a rule:



rule "Set Alarm"
when
    Item AlarmStatusSelect received command
then
    if (AlarmStatusSelect.state==0)
    AlarmModeDisarm.sendCommand("XXXX")
    if (AlarmStatusSelect.state==1)
    AlarmModeDay.sendCommand("XXXX")
    if (AlarmStatusSelect.state==2)
    AlarmModeNight.sendCommand("XXXX")
    if (AlarmStatusSelect.state==3)
    AlarmModeAway.sendCommand("XXXX")
    if (AlarmStatusSelect.state==4)
    AlarmModeVacation.sendCommand("XXXX")
end
 
I haven't figured out if there's a way to dynamically enter a user code.  User codes are new for the OH2 version of the binding. 
 
You'll also need to add the "Map Transformations" binding from the Paper UI (Add-ons>Transformations).  Add a "area-modes.map" file under the /Transform folder in your config directory (same as the items and sitemaps files). 
 
Save the following content in the area-modes.map file:


0=Off
1=Day
2=Night
3=Away
4=Vacation
5=Day instant
6=Night delayed
9=Arming day
10=Arming night
11=Arming away
12=Arming vacation
13=Arming day instant
14=Arming night delayed

 
This will translate the alarm status codes to words.

So just now my family and I are getting ready for school and the lights in the kitchen are blinking on and off every second.  Very very strange.  I kinda blame this system because in the about 10 years I have lived here that has never happened?!

 

[heffneil]

Is there a push button type - not a switch style switch?

 

[heffneil]

Sorry can you show me the sitemap for the family room? I just need to see how this is laid out.

 

[heffneil]

Ok I found the PUSH button which works well.  Also I found out my button names.  Mine aren't logical like yours for some reason.  For example:
 
omnilink:button:8d1a3831:1ress
 
 
Thats a quick gate - not sure why this is that and yours seems so clean.  Any thoughts on this?

 

[swamiller]

My lights sight map is pretty simple:


Frame label="Lights"{
Group item=Lights
}

In the sample above you'll notice the items file, the group names associated with each group of lights with a room name and with the top group just labeled "Lights".  The sightmap will group all the like name lights under the main group "Lights" on the sightmap.
 
For my item setup, the reason mine is clean is a lesson learned...when you set up the controller (the first time) you can add the name of the controller or leave it at the default which is an odd set of letters and numbers.  I named mine "home" 

 

[heffneil]

Crap how do I change it
 
I miss the rest of the code for your sitemap I don't think it came through properly?
 
I don't know how to setup the scene switches properly - its not working for me as expected.

 

[swamiller]

This may be TMI, but here are all of my lights.  The small piece of sitemap code was all of my lights.  Below is my .items file.  The trick is the groupings:

Notice I have a group name for each room (Lights_Family) (Lights_Kitchen), etc.  Then there are "GROUP" names above each room's lights.  The top group is the (Lights) group and the second is the group that includes the rooms lights into the main (Lights) group.  The sitemap simply has 
 

Frame label="Lights"{
Group item=Lights
}

All of the lights will group up (including the scene switches) under the lights tab by room.   As I mentioned before, I think there is a more elegant solution to the scene switches but I haven't set mine up.

TMI is best! I will parse this tomorrow and try to get it to work!  I am enjoying learning this piece by piece - I hope to get this nice and fancy down the road!

 

[swamiller]

I've been toying around with OpenHAB for the last year and I like it.  It has come a long way in the last year.  WIth Haiku getting flaky I started looking for a viable replacement.  I think OpenHAB is it.  I not only can get notifications like Haiku (no extra software required) I am also able to tie my mis-matched multimedia equipment together using global cache iFlex devices and control all of it with my Harmony remote.  
 
Admittedly, the learning curve is not as easy as programming directly into our Omni's and the rule engine is a little cryptic for non-programmers like me but it is all totally learnable. the OpenHAB forum has lots of good information.

 

[heffneil]

Yeah I am researching.  It seems powerful! I haven't even reviewed the notifications.  Are they working on your iphone?  
 
I want to pop cameras when a zone goes not ready like I have in Haiku but with ip cameras which are modern....

 

[swamiller]

You have options for notifications but I landed on the "Pushover" binding.  Pushover is a service and it works great on iPhone.  You configure notifications through rules.  
 
Most IP cameras that have a webstream work, although I don't have any set up.  I've been watching Github and there is someone working on a Blue Iris binding that interests me.  There is already a ZoneMinder (http://zoneminder.com) binding. For most IP cameras, half the battle is figuring out the web address for the stream you want to view..

 

[heffneil]

The webstream isn't a problem I have that from working with Haiku but it won't work with RSTP vs MJPEG.
