New Plugin for openhr20

---

Hi folks,

i want to announce my first plugin which handles openhr20 devices

One can install it by typing npm i pimatic-plugin-openhr20
Never used coffeescript before but found its quite handy.

WOW!! That’s great!!
Another heating control system for pimatic!
Thx a lot for your efforts! Feel free to continue to pimaticand mantain your nice plugin!

If I would have known about it earlier … sold my old Honeywell Rondostat HR20 some weeks ago (I use max! thermostats for years now)

found a nice tutorial here
https://piontecsmumble.wordpress.com/2013/02/25/openhr-20-tutorial-part-0-introduction/
and some information in German
https://www.myembedded.de/2016/07/29/openhr20/

Great to see that its already available in the repository. Thanks a lot

Worth to mention that the plugin depends on sqlite3 which takes about 15 minutes to compile on a raspi3.
Although i had problems installing the plugin as root. I had a weired error that says that root has no access to the /root/.node-gyp directory while compiling sqlite3.

Chowning all files to pi:pi and installing the plugin as user pi solved that problem but thats not very clean imo. Do you have thought about that?

The tutorial you found is that i have used to build my openhr20 environment. It was my first arduino based project but worked like a charm.

This error should not occur if pimatic installs packages. Please provide log files in case. If you get this when installing packages from the command line you can avoid the error by using the “–unsafe-perm” option, i.e. npm i <package> --unsafe-perm

Thanks. I will try it out in the evening and report back.

I had to fix a bug that flooded the events log. hence i was not able to test an update via frontend today.
