Feature request - LAN polling

[baudfather]

Is there any way we could move to LAN based polling? This would enable more rapid polling (instantaneous) updates and eliminate the reliance on Rainforest's cloud servers.

Here's a link to the API docs from Rainforest: https://rainforestautomation.com/wp-...ST_API-1.0.pdf

From my experience with other automation software, the "enable security" checkbox needs to be unchecked to allow local access. If there's anything I can do to help, let me know Cheers!

I added LAN polling for legacy Eagle in version 3.0.0.5 of the plugin, available in the Beta section of the updater.

I don't have a legacy eagle box to test with so some things may not work yet. Please test and post your debug logs if you have any problem.

In the web portal you need to uncheck the "security box" like explained here: https://github.com/openhab/openhab1-...inforest-EAGLE
Then from the config page of the plugin choose "Legacy EAGLE - Local" as the device type then enter the local ip of your box and it's mac id (16 alpha numeric characters without 0x at the beginning)

Let me know how it goes. Thanks!

Thanks for the update! Gave it a try, but getting the following error:

Please test version 3.0.0.6 that I just posted

Also, enable log to File, and copy paste from the log file (Logs/Rainforesteagle.txt), because HS logs strips out the xml tags

thanks

[baudfather]

Okay, error's gone, but the HS device isn't getting updated.

Are you sure the MAC ID is correct? It is supposed to be 16 characters
Where did you find it?
Also, please try with lower case for letters

Maybe this isn't a MAC but a MAC is 48bits, so in hex 12 characters not 16...

[spud]

This is not the ethernet MAC Address, I think this is what is referred as the Smart Meter Mac on the smart meter subpage:


If the "Smart Meter MAC" doesn't work, try the "Eagle Zigbee MAC"
thanks

Sorry, saw MAC and assumed ethernet (oops!)

[baudfather]

Okay, now using the Eagle Zigbee MAC, looks to be pulling all the info, but only populating the Instantaneous Demand HS device:

Edit: any way to paste the log without losing the formatting?

[baudfather]

NVM, switched editor. Here's the log text (bit easier to read):

[spud]

Please try version 3.0.0.7, it should fix the error and populate all the devices.

Can you confirm that the "Smart Meter MAC" didn't work, i.e it only works with "Eagle Zigbee MAC"?
thanks

[baudfather]

Awsome! Errors are gone, and Demand and Price/kWh are working, just not the to/from grid items. Let me know if I you need anything else.

Cheers!

[baudfather]

Oh, also double checked and yes, needs to be Eagle Zigbee MAC (Smart Meter MAC throws error).

[baudfather]

Cancel that, looks like it just took a while - from grid is updating now!

Edit - just needed a reboot to get Eagle to show up in Energy DB.

Cheers spud ! Love having ability of instant polling Now just to figure out who keeps leaving the non smart lights on
