Dear all, I just upgraded my docker contained openhab instance from 3.4 to 4. My fronttail is now showing an “item updated to” every time the item was refreshed by the thing. This is new and did not happen in my previous openhab instance.

I give an example to better clarify what I mean.

Contact\_VeluxRoom3 is an item that represents the OPENING state of a window. It is read using the modbus binding from my PLC. The binding polls the PLC every second. I see this in my log:

```auto
2023-07-24 23:37:30.240 [INFO] [openhab.event.ItemStateUpdatedEvent] - Item 'Contact_VeluxRoom3' updated to CLOSED
2023-07-24 23:37:31.328 [INFO] [openhab.event.ItemStateUpdatedEvent] - Item 'Contact_VeluxRoom3' updated to CLOSED
2023-07-24 23:37:32.316 [INFO] [openhab.event.ItemStateUpdatedEvent] - Item 'Contact_VeluxRoom3' updated to CLOSED
2023-07-24 23:37:33.419 [INFO] [openhab.event.ItemStateUpdatedEvent] - Item 'Contact_VeluxRoom3' updated to CLOSED
2023-07-24 23:37:34.466 [INFO] [openhab.event.ItemStateUpdatedEvent] - Item 'Contact_VeluxRoom3' updated to CLOSED
2023-07-24 23:37:35.649 [INFO] [openhab.event.ItemStateUpdatedEvent] - Item 'Contact_VeluxRoom3' updated to CLOSED

```

This is the item definition:

```auto
label: Dakraam Linde contact
type: Contact
category: window
groupNames:
  - Contacts
  - ContactsVelux
  - Contacts_Summed
  - gBedroomLindeVelux
groupType: None
function: null
tags:
  - OpenState

```

This is the item definition:

```auto
UID: modbus:data:plc:coils1:SM_2_H4
label: PLC SM_2_H4
thingTypeUID: modbus:data
configuration:
  readValueType: bit
  readTransform: MAP(invertContact.map)
  writeTransform: default
  readStart: "75"
  updateUnchangedValuesEveryMillis: 1000
  writeMultipleEvenWithSingleRegisterOrCoil: false
  writeMaxTries: 3
bridgeUID: modbus:poller:plc:coils1

```

I also see this behavior for items that are connected to the HTTP binding, the Astro Binding, and several others.

Is this new normal behavior?
