gemakers / green-bean Goto Github PK

I have a Raspberry Pi that I have connected to my GB. I've been connecting the GB to a Viper and a Hawk.

While (slowly) learning about the data that comes back from the appliances, I've been connecting the GB to either the Viper or Hawk and leaving a trivial "status.js" program running in a "screen" for a week or so (I capture all the data for later analysis) -- see source here: https://gist.github.com/jsquyres/feb45fe7b34ffe0a034d

status.js runs just fine and outputs all manner of wonderful data (I leave it connected to a single appliance during these runs -- e.g., I'm not connected to the washer for a while and then unplug/replug into the dryer during a single status.js run).

However, after a few days, status.js stops and returns to a shell prompt for no apparent reason. There's no error, and I don't know why the program would just stop (none of the node.js subscriptions should have exited, so the loop should keep firing AFAIK...?).

In some cases, status.js terminates during the middle of a Hawk/Viper cycle. In other cases, it terminates not during a cycle (i.e., a cycle completed, and I don't have a data point for exactly when status.js terminated).

Is this a known issue? If not, is there anything I can run on my end to further diagnose this issue?

Is this an issue related to network/proxies etc?

P.S: I am using Windows 7 (64bit) & using npm version 1.4.28

Can't find anything on the website, nor is google finding any source other than to that site. Is the module even still available?

Hello,

I am trying to communicate with a washer using the green bean and a Windows 7 notebook. I managed it to get everything installed but unfortunately it seems that there is no communication to the green bean at all.

If I run the following simple script in cmd.exe as admin I always get the same error message regardless of whether the washing machine is plugged to the green bean or not.

console.log("Program started.");
var greenBean = require("green-bean");
greenBean.connect("laundry", function (laundry)
{
   laundry.cycleStatus.read(function (value)
   {
      console.log("cycle status:", value);
   });
});

Program output:

Program started.
events.js:141
      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
      ^

I would be glad if somebody could tell me what to try to achieve a proper communication.

I am trying to install green-bean inside of node.js using npm but I am getting an error:

..\hidapi\windows\hid.c<23>: fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'windows.h': No such file of directory [C:\Windows\System32\node_modules\green-bean\node_modules\gea-adapter-usb\node_modules\node-hid\build\binding.sln]

I installed Visual Studio 2005 and looked in the include folder and didn't find windows.h. How can I solve this problem?

I am running windows 7 32bit.

Hi folks,

I originally posed this question on the 1B forums, but @MylesCaley recommended that I open an issue here as well.

I recently started doing some testing with my laundry pair and discovered an oddity with how the gea-sdk handles more than one Green Bean (and it's associated appliance) attached to my development machine. For example, if I call appliance.modelNumber.read() it will fire once for each connected appliance. This also seems to happen for the subscribe() function. Since there is no clear source to what GB/appliance is responding to the read() and subscribe() functions it can lead to confusion in handling the results.

Per @MylesCaley's suggestion, I tried defining different addresses for two sample applications (0xE5 for the dryer and 0xE4 for the washing machine), but this seems to have no bearing on the behavior. The first script to run appears to claim all the USB-attached Green Beans, resulting in a USB read error when the next script is started. I have posted full details of the scripts and the output to Gist here.

Hello,

I noticed that the hyperlink for the "This Table" link does not work. Please send guidance for working with connecting to appliances.

Sincerely,

Seth

My greenbean works fine with my macbook and GeoSpring 50, but I seem to be missing something when trying to talk to it through a Raspberry Pi Model B. The node npm installs go fine, and the device enumerates fine, but then node-hid fails to open the device:

/home/marc/development/greenbean/water-heater/node_modules/green-bean/node_modules/gea-adapter-usb/node_modules/node-hid/index.js:24
this._raw = new (Function.prototype.bind.apply(binding.HID,

Here it is with lsusb:

This is a pretty vanilla up-to-date raspbian image. Am I missing some kernel module or userspace package?

Thanks!

Has the information on the green bean been moved to a different location?

Tried install on a ARM Pi and Intel laptop - same result. I dug in and manually installed a bunch of dependencies (libhid and such) to see if I could get it to complete but it still petered out. At the moment there's no way to use this library, and my new green-bean is sitting there lonely.

Hi,

How can I get a Green Bean? I have a Geospring water heater (the newer model) and I'd like to control it with my Raspberry Pi. I was pointed here by William Burke on Twitter. I can't find any information about this project anywhere. Help!
