Hi everyone, In one of my recent tutorials I’ve showed you how to use AQIcn.org API in order to get Air Quality data. Today I’ve submitted a pull request to openhab2-addons repo with my first binding attempt :slight_smile: The README file explains all the basics needed to get it work in your envi…

@AndrewZ check your configuration in *.things file or in PaperUI. I checked my own configs just now and everything seems to run smoothly. Air Quality Binding is now a part of openhab2-addons ! Thank you everyone for testing, improving and reviewing my code! You no longer need to place a JAR file - …

@rtvb , below is the addons.cfg file remote = true legacy = false binding = astro,chromecast,gpio,hue,ntp,airquality,pioneeravr,yahooweather,mqtt1 persistence = rrd4j #action = #voice = misc = restdocs,openhabcloud,homekit,ruleengine,hueemulation package = expert transformation = map,regex,xslt,ex…

[image] manu74: The things entry is below with apikey masked Thing airquality:aqi:home [ apikey=“XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX”, l ocation=“12.871144,77.593834”, refresh=10 ] You don’t need the word Thing there.

Changed that, still no change. I don’t see any log entries for airquality even after restart of openhab.

Hello @manu74 Have you tried configuring Air Quality binding via Paper UI? I’m using it that way, and it works without any issues. Maybe that would be a good way to test if your installation is faulty, or there is something wrong with a thing file. Best regards, Davor

I don’t see airquality as add-on in Openhab2. The instruction also mentioned that it has to be manually configured. Are you running openhab2 or earlier version?

I’m running snapshot. You may need to install jar manually as described at the beginning of this topic.

Hello! Right now I’m running OH2 nightly that has Air Quality binding as official add-on, but I was using it with older nightly via .jar file too, and it could have been configured using Paper UI. Best regards, Davor

@AndrewZ , @davorf Based on your inputs, I switched to snapshot installation and airquality addon started working. Even the configuration from paperUI is also working. I had tried Official and Beta releases but not the snapshots. Thanks a ton for the help!!!

Until recently I was using the nightly builds with Air Quality binding. A few days ago I switched to stable on openHABian and just copied the jar file from cloudbees to my addons folder. It worked immediately. https://openhab.ci.cloudbees.com/job/openHAB2-Bundles/346/org.openhab.binding$org.openha…

Thanks for this approach. I will like to switch back to beta release. Will try this as well over the weekend and let you know whether putting the jar worked for me or not.
