linknx on Raspberry Pi

[chris_14]

Hello,
after long waiting for my Raspi, I got one last week. This credit-card sized Linux-PC is an ideal base for linknx and more.

Based on the debian "squeeze" image from http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads I installed eibd, linknx, etc.. Connetion to the EIB is made with the serial port of the Raspi and an BCU.

Everything is working fine, but not sending emails. At compiling of linknx I got the message:

checking libesmtp.h usability... yes
checking libesmtp.h presence... yes
checking for libesmtp.h... yes
checking whether to use libesmtp... configure: WARNING: libesmtp is compiled with pthread support. This can conflict with pth. If you observe segmentation faults at startup, try to recompile with libesmtp support disabled
yes

.

Any idea, how I can make it work?

Best regards chris

Hi,

This message is just a warning, not an error.
If you remove the warning message in-between, the remainder says:
checking whether to use libesmtp…  yes

What do you get when you execute "linknx -V"? Does it say "E-mail gateway enabled"?

Hi Jean-François,

What do you get when you execute "linknx -V"? Does it say "E-mail gateway enabled"?

it says:

root@raspberrypi:~# linknx -V
linknx 0.0.1.30
- E-mail gateway enabled (with pthread support)

I found out, that it worked sometimes, but most time not. It looks like there is an dependence of objects, that have no group-address. This is my rule:

        <rule id="technikalarm_3">
            <condition type="and">
                <condition type="object" id="technikalarm_aktiv" value="on" />
                <condition type="object" id="stoerung_regenwasser_1" value="on" trigger="true" />
            </condition>
            <actionlist>    
                <action type="send-email"  to="xxxxxxxxxx@gmx.de" subject="Technik-Alarm" >Sammelstoerung Regenwasser!</action>
            </actionlist>
        </rule>

Since I removed the condition "technikalarm_aktiv", it works now.
It's nonsatisfying, but in the moment I don't know how to find out, what exactly happens.

Hi,
Just for information, with a newer Debian-Image for Rasberry Pi its working perfect since several month. If someone needs support, please leave a message.
