Hi,
I followed the link, found the amazonechocontrol_3.2.10 and installed it via kar-file.
My linux knowledge is still quite limited - and by doing this I know have 2 versions, both are listed as active and of course openhab uses the wrong one…
openhab> kar:install file:/etc/openhab/tmp/amazonechocontrol-3.2.10.kar
openhab> list -s | grep amazon
330 x Active x 80 x 3.2.0 x org.openhab.binding.amazonechocontrol
331 x Active x 80 x 3.2.10 x org.smarthomej.binding.amazonechocontrol
What can I do to fix this and how I can I do it right?
Any help or helpful link to fill my knowledge holes is really appreciated!
Kind regards,
Stefan
Thank you for the fast answer! I followed your guidance and it works again!
The echoControlBinding isn’t any longer shown as installed now.
Should I expect difficulties with next update?
No, if you don’t click on “install” again, you’ll not run into issues. But you’ll not receive updates for the binding, if you install the .kar manually and the binding will not show up in the “installed bindings” list.
That’s what I expected - no updates…
I tried to uninstall the older version in karaf, but I must have done something wrong.
When I want to uninstall the newer version is this the right syntax?
What is the „old“ version? The one from the distribution? Then uninstall it the same way you installed it (UI/addons.cfg). The manually installed .kar? Delete it WHILE OPENHAB IS RUNNING.
Hm, I’ve also installed the patched amazon binding 3.2.7 a while ago via addons folder. Now I just updated to OH 3.2.0. Now I’m wondering if that version already provides the fixed version or if I should keep continue using the latest (SNAPSHOT) version of the binding. What is the recommendation here? Thanks!
Ok, then I stick with 3.2.10 kar. Seems to work. One last question If I may ask. In the release notes there’s talk of the new UI in 3.2.0 for the alexa binding. Looking at it, it looks like before :). Is it coming with 3.3 then?
I think there is new metadata. This however is related to the „other“ direction: using Alexa to control openHAB. This is done via the cloud connector and the Alexa skill and has nothing to do with the binding.
