Toon as a domotica controller?

[Ierlandfan]

Here's the original update script for 3.0.29.

[al_n]

Thank you for that Ierlandfan.

Now I just need to see how to pull the packages that I need.

[wwolkers]

packages are only available if you have the vpn up & running, since they come from http://feed.hae.int/feeds

[al_n]

Yes, I've got them

I think I can safely install all beside of firmware-ma. Any other thoughts?

[Ierlandfan]

You're welcome
You probably want to check /etc/inittab for (if not auto-added by opkg install)

Code: Select all

# HCBv2 static stuff
qtqt:245:respawn:/usr/bin/startqt >/dev/null 2>&1

Also funny:

I was just about to ask this

[al_n]

Well, I did the upgrade semi-automatic, I've downloaded the packages myself and then deleted the firmware package, than I used the script from Ierlandfan to execute the second phase.
The upgraded ran and then I've got a RED screen saying something went wrong and I have to contact tech support.

Shit, I reboot.

...


Everything looks ok I've got the QT version but I did lose my ssh. Will have to re-root it again.

[al_n]

second time is easier, the terminal was still active. The only problem was iptables. Something in the process re-patch it. Got to keep that in mind for next time.

[Ierlandfan]

By the way, you need to edit the iptables.conf every time Toon is software updated (And so SSH is again firewalled)
Edit: even if you upgrade manually!
So better way is to make a custom start-up script which modifies the iptables every time Toon reboots. Multiple ways of doing that. If anyone wants to write that part, "go your gang" as some soccer trainer probably will say some day

[marcelr]

So better way is to make a custom start-up script which modifies the iptables every time Toon reboots.

That's not really going to help you when all boot scripts are replaced in an update ( from /etc/inittab to /etc/default HCBv2). Better keep a small 3-pin plug dangling from your serial port to the outside of toon, just in case. The boot loader will not be replaced that often, if at all, so serial access through /dev/ttymxc0 wil not be compromised that easily.

Can someone please repeat the following test;
Please go to http://10.10.10.7/hdrv_zwave?action=getDevices.json (use your toon's IP) and compare the results of CurrentGasQuantity with the daily gas usage on the toon's screen.

I get 6,83 m3 on the toon's screen and 669490.00 from the json reply and I don't understand why.
The electricity readouts are accurate.

on http://10.10.10.7:7080/happ_pwrusage?ac ... rrentUsage

I get only avgValue for gas of 298.10 which makes no sense either.

If anyone knows of another way to get the daily gas usage than I'll be happy to know.

[marcelr]

I get 6,83 m3 on the toon's screen and 669490.00 from the json reply and I don't understand why.

Mine has "CurrentGasQuantity":"5914146.00", and 5914.211 m^3 on the meter. The meter has the actual value (in m^3), while gas readings through the M-bus to the P1 port are updated only once every hour, on the hour, in liters. Electricity data transferred to the P1 port are updated every 10 seconds. These data include total consumption and production, for the current tariff, the actual tariff, actual power uptake and power production (in case of solar panels or microWKK).

For gas, daily consumptions are calculated by toon, as are the burn rates. Burn rates get updated more than once every hour, so there is some guessing/estimating going on in the software. The gas meter only transmits the total gas usage to the P1 port (through the M-bus).
So, to get daily consumption, record CurrentGasQuantity, take the number measured just after midnight, and subtract from all following readings. Update the midnight measurement every night to get accurate data every day.

This makes sense, and is actually also what is happening inside toon. happ_pwrusage has a data structure called midnightInfo. There just isn't any web handler to get it

[marcelr]

No, but you CAN get the UNIX timestamp.

Code: Select all

 return file_get_contents( $toon_url.':'.$toon_port.'/happ_thermstat?action=printTableInfo');

Fill in your own URL and port number, YMMV.
Parse the file and you're good to go.

Divide the timestamp by 86400 (seconds per day) and when the remainder is less than 3600, you're between 24.00h and 01:00h. Gas readings in that period are your starting value .
