Alternative Firmware for https://www.obi.de/hausfunksteuerung/wifi-stecker-schuko/p/2291706

Attention

The Development of this repository has stopped! Every further development will be done in this repository.

New OBI Wifi Socket since late 2018

Find the new repository for new OBI socket here.

Precompiled Firmware

Attention - update OTA from 1.1.x to 1.2.x

If you like to update from firmware 1.1.x to 1.2.x over the air (OTA) please first flash firmware version 1.2.0migration.

If you try to update direct from 1.1.x to the current 1.2.x firmware version you will get an "out of memory" error

Due to a new memory model the firmware will reset all settings to the default values

Find the precompiled firmware in the firmware directory.

Compile

This is a PlatformIO project.

OpenHAB

OpenHAB - HTTP Binding sample

Switch LivingRoom_Power "Living Room Outlet" {http=">[ON:GET:http://wifi-socket.ip/on] >[OFF:GET:http://wifi-socket.ip/off]"}

If you like to read the state of the socket by OpenHAB. First create a file getState.js in the transform directory with the following content:

JSON.parse(input).state;

add

<[http://wifi-socket.ip/state:30000:JS(getState.js)]

to the Switch definition. Every 30s the state of the socket will be checked.

OpenHAB - MQTT binding sample

Switch LivingRoom_Power "Living Room Outlet" {mqtt=">[broker1:socket1/in:command:*:default], <[broker1:socket1/out:state:default]"}
