Hi all,
I am now using the binding for around six months and it is working well. However, when starting openhab, I still get a warning message for each and every item:
2026-06-07 23:03:50.992 [WARN ] [core.thing.internal.ThingManagerImpl] - Failed to normalize configuration for new thing during update 'freeathome:device:sysap:<ID>': {thing/channel=Config description channel-type:freeathome:config for freeathome:device:sysap:<ID>:ch0000#brightness-alarm not found, although we checked the presence before.}

The warning message itself is not a problem but it slows down the start. Does anyone see the same messages? It seems to be connected with the dynamic channel discovery but I don’t get that with other bindings. @UhA gave me that hint, but I was not able to fix it.
Thanks for your experience and view…
Best, Lui
