   I have a problem for the port configuration, I can’t change the 8080 to 18581, when I start the app, I can’t find my panels, because the controller that is discover in the settings of the app, indicates “http://192.168.1.11:8080/Controller ” but never with the good port.

   When I tried to add a new controller manualy with the good port, the app indicates: “Panel List Error panel.xml not found”

   If you know where I am wrong…

   Thanks

      Hi Franck, I finally got around to taking a look at this last night using my iPad as a panel. I think I have fixed that issue, but I had some difficulty trying to make a test button (that could just be me being unfamiliar with the software though). Use my package repository URL to install, that way you will be notified automatically of future versions.

      Sorry, it’s a lot of work making a package. I only did it for OpenRemote because it was very similar in its needs to one I’d already made, and there was a forum post where some other guys had already worked a lot of the issues out. I don’t really have time to look at these other software titles, especially as I have no personal interest in using them.

   Hey Patters,

   Thanks for your labor and efforts to make this world easier to live in! I installed OpenRemote on my Synology DS209 and it works just fine.

   I’m going to try to create my small “Smart home”. And the first thing I want to try is temperature, pressure and humidity measure in my room. I want to use 1-wire sensors as Maxim DS1820, AAG TAI-8540 etc. First I’m concerning about is OWFS. It is said that we should have it installed and configured:

   http://www.openremote.org/display/docs/OpenRemote+2.0+How+To+-+1-Wire+Sensors

   But how? Do you know?

   ++ I also wanted to find find out if you included in your *.spk-OpenRemote package that script that start OpenRemote automatically as DS starts. Or should create that script by our-self as it described here:

   http://www.openremote.org/display/docs/OpenRemote+2.0+How+To+-+Controller+on+Synology+NAS?focusedCommentId=19433213#comment-19433213

      Hi, glad it’s useful to you! I don’t really know anything about 1-wire, but there are a few posts I noticed that suggest that it might be tricky:

      Oh yes, and the package will restart automatically when the Syno reboots – so no need to follow that guide.

   You know I really dig it! It so cool to use my Syno as a head of smart home in addition to other tasks.

   Would you please unveil how d’you use it? So I might add some possibilities too having known that you’ve done it..

   How can I add the Webconsole (Rich Web Client) to the controller?

   Reply ↓
   1. patters Post authorDecember 19, 2011 at 16:13

      It’s not something I’ve tried but it looks like the instructions are here:
      http://openremote.org/display/docs/OpenRemote+2.0+How+To+-+Web+Console+Installation

      The location of the OpenRemote package’s files once installed on the syno is /volume1/@appstore/OpenRemote
      You can’t use the File Browser in DSM to browse this location though, you’ll need to use a terminal session.

      EDIT – just tested it, it works fine. In keeping with the Controller, the webconsole URL would be:
      http://yoursynoIP:18581/webconsole/

      (assuming the .war file was renamed to webconsole.war)
      I may add this to the next version of the package.

   Hi,

   Is there a chance that this would run with Jamvm ?
   That is available as ipkg for my ppc synology.
   You seem to know alot about this stuff.
   So you might be able to tell if its worth investing my time in trying to get it to run.

    Hello,

    Just a quick ping on OpenRemote, there’s a new release (2.0) available at http://download.openremote.org. If you plan on updating the Synology package, you’ll want to include this release.

    The Controller 2.0 also includes (embedded) the Web Console panel (currently v2.0 Alpha2 — still developer version) so no need to prepare separate packages for Web Console. It is running as an additional archive in the Tomcat runtime. Going forward the Web Console will be included in the Controller distribution.

    Let us know if there’s anything we can do to help with the maintenance of these packages.

    Best regards,

    – Juha

       Thanks Juha. I’ll put something together soon, hopefully this evening. With other packages I’ve built more recently I’ve tended to follow a model of using wget to fetch the installation files directly from the website concerned and making any edits to configs and so on by script. I’ll do that for OpenRemote, which ought to make things much easier going forward.

    2. patters Post authorMarch 12, 2012 at 01:13

       Ok, the package has been updated, just Refresh in Package Center and you’ll see the update badge. The modifications to the config files for port numbers are done by script now rather than by hand so new versions can be deployed much more easily. I just thought I’d feed back that the Web Console doesn’t work properly on IE Mobile on Windows Phone 7.5. On my Nokia Lumia 800 if I set IE to prefer full websites rather than mobile ones then it does seem ok, so it might be something quite simple to fix.

       1. Juha Lindfors March 20, 2012 at 17:45

          Thanks for reporting the issue with Mobile IE. This browser was not one which we targeted initially (in fact I was blissfully ignorant that a mobile version of IE existed) so compatibility has not been tested.

          Unclear at the moment if anyone in the dev team has a device with Mobile IE to test with. This may be something we need to have community address and patch.

          The issue can be tracked at http://jira.openremote.org/browse/WEBCONSOLE-45 — it is useful to leave comments if Mobile IE support is important to you.

    Hi, thank you for the package, working in Syno 710+ with DSM4.0.
    It seems that the package use a lot of memory (maybe due to Java 6).
    Is there a way to reduce it?
    When shutting down the package with package center, java process remains actives.
    Is there a way to overcome this?, the one I found i to log in ssh as root and kill java processes.
    regards,

    If someone interested in 1-wire using on OpenRemote with your Synology NAS and doesn’t know how to install OWFS, which is requied to be installed in prior of installing OWFS?

    Here is the instruction(on russian, but prety clear to follow) of how to do that:

    http://www.synology-forum.ru/wiki/index.php/OWFS_1-wire_on_Synology

    And here is the threat on the Russian Forum about 1-Wire & OWFS & Home Authomation(including hardware description):

          Hey Marcus! Glade to hear from you! If you want – you could compile it. But there’s ready-to-install pre-compiled for all verity of Synology CPU.

          Just follow the link from my message above. There is the list of “Ready-to-install packages”. Choose your CPU and download it. Then do this:

          1) Copy the downloaded package onto your Synology DS(let’s say /volume1/temp)

          2) cd /

          3) tar -xvzf /volume1/temp/.tar.gz -C /

          4) mkdir /mnt/1-wire

          Then use the following commands to create two start-up and two kill scripts for the OWFS-services:

          1) S72owfs:

          Create file:

          cat > S72owfs

          Add the following text into this file:

          #!/bin/sh

          if [ ! -d /mnt/1-wire ]
          then
          mkdir -p /mnt/1-wire
          fi

          export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib:/opt/lib

          /opt/bin/owserver -uall -p 3000 &
          sleep 1
          /opt/bin/owfs -s 3000 /mnt/1-wire &

          exit 0

          Use Ctrl+D to exit editing file

          2) S73owhttpd:

          Create file:

          cat > S73owhttpd

          Add the following text into this file:

          #!/bin/sh

          export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib:/opt/lib

          PID=`ps | grep -E ‘[A-z0-9/]+/owserver($| )’ | awk ‘ { print $1 } ‘`

          if [ -n "$PID" ]
          then
          /opt/bin/owhttpd -s 3000 -p 3001 &
          fi
          exit 0

          Use Ctrl+D to exit editing file

          3) K71owhttpd:

          Create file:

          cat > K71owhttpd

          Add the following text into this file:

          #!/bin/sh

          PID=`ps | grep -E ‘[A-z0-9/]+/owhttpd($| )’ | awk ‘ { print $1 } ‘`

          if [ -n "$PID" ]
          then
          kill -s KILL $PID
          fi
          exit 0

          Use Ctrl+D to exit editing file

          4) K72owfs

          Create file:

          cat > K72owfs

          Add the following text into this file:

          #!/bin/sh

          PID=`ps | grep -E ‘[A-z0-9/]+/owserver($| )’ | awk ‘ { print $1 } ‘`

          if [ -d /mnt/1-wire ]
          then
          umount /mnt/1-wire > /dev/null 2>/dev/null
          fi
          echo $PID
          if [ -n "$PID" ]
          then
          kill -KILL $PID
          fi

          exit 0

          Use Ctrl+D to exit editing file

          Copy this scripts into /opt/etc/init.d/ and make them executable:

          chmod +x /opt/etc/init.d/*ow*

          That is all

27. Hendrik October 20, 2012 at 14:35

    Having recently acquired a Synology DS213+ and planning to use Z-Wave, in a first instance for controlling my heating, I discovered your OpenRemote package for Synology.
    Which would be a great solution!
    Even better, the required Java package, made available by you as well, is available for the specific processor of my NAS (QorIQ PPC). Which of course is great news, since it was introduced only a few months ago.

    However, after reading into the matter for several hours, I still have the following questions remaining which I hope you could help me with:
    - Has Z-Wave been included in OpenRemote in general yet and if so, is it included in your package? The OpenRemote main webpage mentions it being compatible with Z-Wave and the Beta tester thread on their forum has been closed. Which all indicate it has been included in OpenRemote. But the situation does not seem 100% clear.
    - Does your package contain (or will it contain) the necessary drivers for Z-Wave sticks directly plugged into the USB port of the NAS? From what I have read, the necessary drivers have to be compiled with the help of a Linux PC (which I do not have at my disposal) and some Linux knowledge (which, again, I do not have at my disposal).

    The resaon for these questions is of course that in case they are answered positively, this would mean my NAS will be the only device I need (and need to keep powered 24/24) to control Z-Wave compatible devices.

    It would be great if you (or another user) could enlighten me on these two questions.
    Even better would be to solve them of course if needed ;-)

    Thank you in advance!

       The Z-Wave Jar for OpenRemote will be released soon. Patters package has to be updated to the latest controller which he can easily do, once we release. Just keep reading the OpenRemote forums. The beta test is closed and I mentioned on the forums that a public version will be released soon. Stay tuned .

       The 2.0.1 version does not include rrd4j. The 2.1-developer-snapshot from sourceforge does. You will have to download that and install over the one from Patters and eventually change some files.

       Designer behaviour has afaik nothing to do with with the controller for which Patters has made a package. Unfortunately I can not help you with the old spk, because at the time I was unable to download it.
       @Patters: I don’t know if you are aware of this: OpenRemote has registered port 8688 with the IANA organisation as default for the controller. Please consider changing the port 18581 into that new number. Makes deploying different controllers less cumbersome.

    is it possible to use the following syno package as a driver between openremote and a Aeon Labs Z-Wave Series 2 USB bridge? :D

    http://wiki.synozwave.com/index.php?title=Installation/en&setlang=en

    (development is in french – english translation with link above)

    Or is there another way to use the Z-Wave USB stick?
    I don’t want to use X10 devices! I prefere a wireless solution.
    And I don’t want a usb-to-whatever converter to use a specific bridge!

    This will be so great!!! just install java, openremote and synozwave….plug in z-wave stick and have fun :D

    – Update Web Console implementation to 2.1.0 (Richard Turner, ORCJAVA-312)
    – Bug fix: sensor status cache was throwing a runtime exception
    which was not handled if a panel requested a sensor status on
    a sensor which failed to start (due to configuration or
    other errors). The unhandled exception caused the client
    call to fail instead of gracefully falling back to default or
    error value. (Eric Bariaux, ORCJAVA-268)
    – Bug fix: logging generated errors (null pointer exception) at
    shutdown (Eric Bariaux, ORCJAVA-222)

    Hi, i was curious about this open remote and so i decided to try it.

    To try it:

    - i opened an account with Oracle
    - i downloaded and installed Java on my synology nas
    - i installed Open Remote on synology
    - i opened an account on Open Remote Designer
    - i changed port value

    Now i start Open Remote Controller from my NAS, try to login and i receive “Authentication failed, please check your username and password.”

    With same credential i can login in Open Remote Designer.

    So i try to write a post in the forum ( http://www.openremote.org/display/forums/User+Forum ) and i found out that my credential are not allowed to write a topic….. ok

    - i opened another account, but when i try, after clicked on Sign UP, i get an error page with hundred of java error lines that starts with:

    “org.springframework.dao.DataIntegrityViolationException: Hibernate operation: could not update: [com.atlassian.confluence.setup.bandana.ConfluenceBandanaRecord#1769477]; SQL []; Data truncation: Data too long for column ‘BANDANAVALUE’ at row 1; nested exception is com.mysql.jdbc.MysqlDataTruncation: Data truncation: Data too long for column ‘BANDANAVALUE’ at row 1
    at org.springframework.jdbc.support.SQLStateSQLExceptionTranslator.translate(SQLStateSQLExceptionTranslator.java:110)

    caused by: com.mysql.jdbc.MysqlDataTruncation: Data truncation: Data too long for column ‘BANDANAVALUE’ at row 1
    at com.mysql.jdbc.MysqlIO.checkErrorPacket(MysqlIO.java:3513)”

    and after the stack trace, at the bottom of the page, there are my data with my password in plain text on html page!!

    Now, what else i need to do to try this Open Remote??

    Thanks very much and sorry for my bad english

       The openremote.org website signup issues should have been resolved now, please try again.

    Hi Patters, over on openremote.org you asked about PowerPC e500v2 support. Did you ever get this? I’ve ordered a DS213+ and am hoping I can get OpenRemote to work. Thanks.
