I am trying to make a virtual air conditioning control work but I am having difficulties

Isn't there already a port for Tasmota?

Hi,
I'm trying to port some code from ST to Hubitat here Sinope TH1120RF-3000 Drivers From Smartthings. I'm having difficulties here:

data.location_list = resp.data

It says java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot set property 'location_list' on null object (StartCommunicationWithServer)

Another question what's the difference between:
data.deviceId = null
and
data?.deviceId = null

Thanks!

nh.schottfam · October 12, 2020, 8:31pm

Guessing here a bit

where is data in your first example defined? There should be a

Map data

or

def data

somewhere. Ideally setting it to [:]

There is no difference on the left side of the = for

Normall it is used to avoid null reference errors on the right

ie

def a = data?.deviceId

if data was null, the ? would avoid the null reference exception and a would become null.

It does not have meaning on the left side, it is usually caused by the author doing global search and replace trying to big hammer null reference exceptions.

Thanks for you info! Good to know about the '?'.

About the data, the first occurrence of location_list was here:

		data?.deviceId = null
		data.devices_list.each{var ->
			try{
				def name_device=var.name
				name_device=name_device.toLowerCase().replaceAll("\\s", "")
				if(name_device==deviceName){
					data.deviceId=var.id
						data.error=false
						state.deviceName = deviceName;
						state.deviceLocation = settings?.locationname.toLowerCase().replaceAll("\\s", "");
						return data.deviceId;
				}else{
					data.code=4001
				}
			}catch(e){
				data.code=4003
			}
		}

And the second occurrence is here:

		case "deviceList":
			httpGet(params) {resp ->
				isExpiredSessionEvent(resp)
				data.devices_list = resp.data
				if(resp?.data?.error?.code == "USRSESSEXP"){
					askForSessionReset();
				}
				
			}

I don't know if it answers your question. Thanks for you help!

I would like to thank you for your help and ask for more help with a driver that I am modifying.
The intention of this driver is to function entirely as a virtual air conditioner, only as a command to trigger events in the webCoRE.
Everything that I need is already appearing on it, however, I am not having the status of the device. For example, when I set the device to on, it does not appear on it, this is happening in all functions. Could you please take a look at the code? Thank you very much in advance.

dman2306 · October 13, 2020, 12:58am

What do you mean by “doesn’t appear on it”?

ogiewon · October 13, 2020, 1:23am

That Virtual Air Conditoner Device Type Handler from SmartThings appears to have been designed for the ‘New’ ST App. Porting that DTH a to Hubitat may present some challenges compared to more traditional ST DTHs.

What not just use the Hubitat Virtual Thermostat, which is built-in to the Hubitat platform?

jorgespneto · October 13, 2020, 1:28am

I'm trying, but here in Brazil we don't usually use a thermostat, we only use the air conditioning control manually, without this automatic temperature adjustment.
I just need a virtual air conditioning control.
I'm trying anyway to use the thermostat but it's not working properly, which is making me very frustrated.

ogiewon · October 13, 2020, 1:35am

Can you please explain more? I am curious what exactly you’re looking for in a Hubitat Device Driver.

As you mentioned, a Thermostat is designed to maintain temperature to a target by turning on/off either a cooling or heating device - in other words, a form of automatic control. Of course, a thermostat can simply be set to OFF to prevent the automatic control from occurring. However, this does not allow for manual control of the cooling or heating device.

So...I am trying to understand what exactly you’d like in a driver... Since you mentioned air conditioning, I assume you have some sort of air conditioning unit, correct? Does it have a built-in thermostat? How do you plan on having Hubitat interface with the air conditioner? You mentioned above that you don’t want thermostatic control from Hubitat...so do you simply want manual on/off control?

If you can describe in detail the requirements, the community may be able to come up with a simple solution.

jorgespneto · October 13, 2020, 1:58am

Thank you very much for the response and consideration. The air conditioner already has a thermostat inside it, so I Send the HVAC IR remote control code like this
IrSend {"Protocol":"COOLIX","Bits":24,"Data":"0xB2BF00","DataLSB":"0x4DFD00","Repeat":0,"IRHVAC":{"Vendor":"COOLIX","Model":-1,"Power":"On","Mode":"Cool","Celsius":"On","Temp":17,"FanSpeed":"Auto","SwingV”:”Off,”SwingH":"Off","Quiet":"Off","Turbo":"Off","Econo":"Off","Light":"Off","Filter":"Off","Clean":"Off","Beep":"Off","Sleep":-1}}

I am thinking in some way to incorporate the other possibilities of the the native hubitat driver, I believe that some difficulties that I'm having is due to my knowledge being limited in programming.

jorgespneto · October 13, 2020, 2:07am

These are the possibilities that we need in a virtual air conditioning control

"Power" :

On, Yes, True, 1
Off, No, False, 0

"Mode" :

Off, Stop
Auto, Automatic
Cool, Cooling
Heat, Heating
Dry, Drying, Dehumidify
Fan, Fanonly, Fan_Only

"FanSpeed" :

Auto, Automatic
Min, Minimum, Lowest, 1
Low, 2
Med, Medium, Mid, 3
High, Hi, 4
Max, Maximum, Highest, 5

"SwingV" : vertical swing of Fan

Auto, Automatic, On, Swing
Off, Stop
Min, Minimum, Lowest, Bottom, Down
Low
Mid, Middle, Med, Medium, Centre, Center
High, Hi
Highest, Max, Maximum, Top, Up

"SwingH" : horizontal swing of Fan

Auto, Automatic, On, Swing
Off, Stop
LeftMax, Left Max, MaxLeft, Max Left, FarLeft, Far Left
Left
Mid, Middle, Med, Medium, Centre, Center
Right
RightMax, Right Max, MaxRight, Max Right, FarRight, Far Right
Wide

"Celsius" : temperature is in Celsius ( "On" ) of Farenheit ( "Off" )
"Temp" : Temperature, can be float if supported by protocol
"Quiet" : Quiet mode ( "On" / "Off" )
"Turbo" : Turbo mode ( "On" / "Off" )
"Econo" : Econo mode ( "On" / "Off" )
"Light" : Light ( "On" / "Off" )
"Filter" : Filter active ( "On" / "Off" )
"Clean" : Clean mode ( "On" / "Off" )
"Beep" : Beep active ( "On" / "Off" )
"Sleep" : Timer in seconds

What I need is to make a virtual driver that has these possibilities.
If I can do this I can properly control my air conditioner

ogiewon · October 13, 2020, 2:11am

Wow! That’s not exactly a trivial driver. Now I see why you’re trying to port the code from ST. I am still not clear exactly how a virtual air conditioner driver would ever end up sending Infrared Commands to your air conditioner. What device is sending the IR commands?

jorgespneto · October 13, 2020, 2:20am

I'm using Tasmota on Tuya IR bridge model UFO - R1
If I could get a virtual driver with these possibilities I can send the information via WebCoRE to UFO-R1

ogiewon · October 13, 2020, 2:26am

Isn’t there already community support for Tasmota? I’d recommend posting your questions in the Tasmota thread.

jorgespneto · October 13, 2020, 2:29am

Because in these commands I have everything that I need to guide the webcore piston
