AKM868 Binding

AKM868 Binding WIKI

since 1.8.0

Introduction

This binding is for users coming from the proprietary homeautomation-system "IP-Symcon". If you have bought some hardware from them, you can use this binding to enable your AKM868 presence detection system. The following hardware was used to do presence detection with the AKM-868 controller and a OVO868-tracker for your key-ring:

For installation of the binding, please see Wiki page Bindings.

Binding configuration

First of all you need to introduce your LAN-T868 adapter in the openhab.cfg file (in the folder '${openhab_home}/configurations').

################################ AKM-868 Binding ##########################################    
# 
# host: the IP of the adapter LAN-T 868
akm868:host=192.168.1.13
# port: the port of the adapter LAN-T 868 (default is 10001)
akm868:port=10001
# timeout: time in milliseconds. If the AKM-Controller does not send an update within that
# timeframe, the switch item is changing to OFF
akm868:timeout=120000

Item Binding Configuration

In order to bind an item to the device, you need to provide configuration settings. The easiest way to do so is to add some binding information in your item file (in the folder configurations/items`). The syntax of the binding configuration strings accepted is the following:

akm868="id=x,channel=y"

The id represents the ID of your OVO-Tracker.

The channel can be one of the following values:

• 0 = notify on pings from the tracker
• 1 = when the button of the tracker was pressed
• 5 = when the button of the tracker was pressed longer

A sample configuration could look like:

This item would turn the Switch to ON as soon as openHAB receives a PING from the tracker. It will turn the Switch to OFF if the tracker doesn't send another PING within the given timeframe (akm868:timeout value from the openhab.cfg):

Switch PresenceMichael "Key Michael" <present> {akm868="id=9999,channel=0"}

This item would turn the Switch to ON every time the key was pressed

Switch KeyPressedShortMichael "Key Michael" <present> {akm868="id=9999,channel=1"}

This item would turn the Switch to ON every time the key was pressed for a longer time.

Switch KeyPressedLongeMichael "Key Michael" <present> {akm868="id=9999,channel=5"}

Example rules:

    rule "Turn off WIFI if not at Home"
    
    when 
Item PresenceMichael changed to OFF	  
then {
    logInfo("Wifi","Wifi OFF") 
sendCommand(Power_Upstairs_Wifi, OFF)
    }
    end

Limitations

• At the moment you have to have a LANT-868 Adapter. The USB868-Adapter doesn't work.

Workaround for USB868

However, if you own a USB adapter, there is a workaround for utilizing the serial binding.

Items String Presence_AKM_ComPort "Last String from AKM [%s]" { serial="/dev/ttyUSB1" } DateTime Presence_AKM1_LastUpdate "Key 1: Last Update: [%1$td.%1$tm.%1$tY %1$tT]" String Presence_AKM1_Action "Key 1: Last Action: [%s]" Switch Presence_AKM "Presence AKM" <contact>

This rule checks handles an incomming event form the keyfob: `rule "Presence AKM Direct" when Item Presence_AKM_ComPort received update then var String[] buffer= Presence_AKM_ComPort.state.toString.split(",") // var String id = buffer.get(2) // this is the ID of the keyfob. rule could be enhanced to distinguish several keyfobs var String action = buffer.get(3) var String packetValid = buffer.get(4)

if (packetValid.contains("OK")) {
	postUpdate(Presence_AKM1_LastUpdate, new DateTimeType())
	Presence_AKM.sendCommand("ON") 
    switch (action) {
	    case '0' :   {
				logDebug("JK","AKM => Ping")
				Presence_AKM1_Action.sendCommand("Ping")
		    }
	    case '1' :   {
				logDebug("JK","AKM => KeyPressedShort")
				Presence_AKM1_Action.sendCommand("PressedShort")	    	
	    	    }
	    case '5' :   {
	 			logDebug("JK","AKM => KeyPressedLong");
	 			Presence_AKM1_Action.sendCommand("PressedLong")	   	
	            }        
    }
}
else {
		logError("JK","AKM hat fehlerhaftes Packet gesendet"+Presence_AKM_ComPort.state.toString)
}

end`

This rule periodically checks if the there was an update from the keyfob. If there was no update in the last 100 sec, the assumption is that the fob is out of range. `rule "Presence AKM reset" when Time cron "0 0/1 * * * ?" then logDebug("JK","AKM_LatUpdate : " + Presence_AKM1_LastUpdate.state.toString) if (Presence_AKM.state == ON) { var DateTimeType l_akm1 = Presence_AKM1_LastUpdate.state as DateTimeType if ((new DateTimeType().calendar.timeInMillis - l_akm1.calendar.timeInMillis) > 100000){ // 100 sec timeout Presence_AKM1_Action.sendCommand("Away") Presence_AKM.sendCommand("OFF") logInfo("JK","AKM hat Abwesenheit von Key 1 festgestellt"); } }
