Doorsensor state does not work

#1

Hi, when i try to use my door sensor, the state in basic UI is just a small line like this https://gyazo.com/7165c6cfb44732ba7d0df6099c0048f2 Not open or closed. Mqttfx does show the state correctly.

ok, so i got the state to work properly. Now i only need help to get the notifications to work

//This is the rules file

//Side Door Sensor Is Open
rule "Dør Status Sensor"
when
   Item DoorSensor1 received update OPEN
then
       if(SecuritySystem.state == ON)
       {
           sendBroadcastNotification("DØR HAR BLITT ÅPNET!!!")
       }
end

Your rule seems correct, so it should work. Just try opening and closing the door to see the status, the notification should appear on your smartphone .

#7

Thx it worked lol. Probably just a bug

#8

how did you make it work? I am having the same issue (the status is not displayed in the UI while working fine in MQTTfx)and can’t find a way out.

#9

You should try to check /var/log/openhab2/opehab.log

#11

Have you figured it out yet?

#12

How did you get it to work, I too have the same issue. I have made a seperate posting with pictures. Can you check it out and see where the error is.

Ill post here if that is more convenient for you

#13

I had the same issue. I realized i didn’t setup MQTT properly when I SSHed into my PI.

#14

Hi there. How do you solve the state problems? I’m facing the same error. I’ve reinstalled mqtt binding, and follow everything in this forum, but nothing change. Help me please
