AW: BlueHome: new visualisation for Android

I use it with twelve blinds and it works fine.

[Stefaan]

I guess whomever programmed ETS for ADH92 mixed up "1" and "0" for down and up...BlueHome follows the KNX standard definitions for "up" and "down", but many controllers allow you to choose how to react to a 0 and 1 on the bus. In his case, the guy programming his system (ADH92 himself maybe :-) ) used the opposite from the standard...

Das Projekt habe ich nicht programmiert. In der ETS kann man die Jalouise Aktoren nicht umkonfigurieren. Die Aktoren sind von 1998.

Ggf. am Aktor die Adern für Auf und Ab "drehen" (lassen).
Habe es selber im Einsatz und es gibt beim Rollo keinerlei Probleme.
Du kannst es ja auch selber mal in der ETS testen.
Gehe auf die GA für Rollo fahren --> Wert lesen/senden. Dann bei Datentyp 1.008 und bei Wert dann entsprechend Auf oder Ab.
Wenn Du da dann einen "Dreher" bei den Fahrtrichtungen drin hast ist deine "Installtion" nicht ganz korrekt.

Ist am Jalouiseaktor vertauscht.

@liteville

Yes, this is one of the first items on my todo list...you are not the first to ask this :-)

Cheers,
Stefaan

I´m still waiting for your new update...

could you also put in the generic sensor the datatype
DPT 14.056 "active power kW"
DPT 13.010 "active energie kW/h"

if on my tablet, (galaxy tab 10.1) blue home is open the tablet is off in standby and i wake it up, i have to push the button connect again to reconnect.

Hi,

I have been very busy lately with non-Bluehome related stuff...I accidentally started work on BlueHome again yesterday evening :-) I will upload the update before the end of the week. I will also add the additional datapoints for you.

Cheers,
Stefaan

@liteville,

Version 1.2.2 is on Google Play.

It adds both your requests...

For the connection problem: which version of Android is the Tab running? Normally it should automatically reconnect...it should also try to reconnect whenever you use a device (like a switch or something). I will try to get my hands on a galaxy tab 10.1 and see what the problem is...

Hi Stefaan

Thanks for the update, but there is still this problem with the connection, so as soon as I turn on the mobile data connection Bluehome can't find the connection.

If I reboot it also does not go, only when I turn off the mobile data connection and then reboot the phone BlueHome find the connection again, please if possible fix this yet, probably has to do with the Phone IP that you can not adjust for your app.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Young S6310N Android 4.1.2.

Otherwise, a super app!

Hi Jurgen,

What do you (and other people reading this - as this would also solve VPN problems) think of this solution:

Instead of automatically detecting your mobile phone/tablet IP address, you will be able to add as many IP addresses of your device as you want (assisted) and for each of them you can either manually enter the gateway IP or try to auto-detect it. You will be able to flag one of these IP addresses as "favorite".

Whenever BlueHome needs to connect to the gateway, it will first check all your current IP addresses (including mobile data connections, VPN, etc.). If your "favorite" IP is amongst them, it will use that IP and the connected gateway IP. Otherwise it will take another address that you have setup. If there is no match, it will not be able to connect. The address matching can be "very loose" in order to solve DHCP servers that hand out a different IP (192.168.1.100 would match 192.168.2.61).

At any time you can add/remove/change "preferred" IP address in the settings...what do you think?

Hi Stefaan,

that sounds good, so it will work, also to choose the appropriate Phone IP with Gateway IP for VPN, ever thank you if you can implement that.

Kein Buszugriff

Hallo Ich benutze als Hardware ein HTC One X und als Schnittstelle eine BJ 6186/32 und bekomme leider keinen Buszugriff...

Hi,

ist ein bischen heikel, geht aber schon, Mobile Daten aus, WLAN an, Handy neu starten dann klappt die Verbindung.
