Announcing openHAB 2.2

Hmm, I don’t know this issue, maybe there is a difference to Mac OS X version. (I use Windows 10)

Mine is looking (since a very long time) like this:

But you can also try:

.\conf\services\addons.cfg

ui = homebuilder

Launching the openHAB runtime…
-Djava.endorsed.dirs=C:\Progra~1\Java\jdk-9.0.1\jre\lib\endorsed;C:\Progra~1\Java\jdk-9.0.1\lib\endorsed;C:\OpenHAB_2_2\runtime\bin…\lib\endorsed is not supported. Endorsed standards and standalone APIs
in modular form will be supported via the concept of upgradeable modules.
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.

I did a fresh Win10, JAVA 9, OpenHAB 2.2 install and got the following error above. Any idea?

Reading the docs would give that explanation:

As for now, a pre-release Java 9 installation is not recommended and is not yet supported by openHAB 2.

openHAB 2.2 on Ubuntu (Ubuntu 17.10)

Guys many thanks for providing another new version of openHAB.
When I migrated from my old system to openHAB 2 (now 2.1.0.1) I used the standard Ubuntu repositories to install openHAB.
I was wondering how and when the new release may show up there? Does anyone of you know that process?
Do you recommend an alternate repository to refer?

Thank & Merry Christmas.

Wanted to also reply and thank everyone for the great work, I upgraded this weekend on Debian from 2.1 to 2.2 without any issues. Reading some of the comments, I do like the idea of having a 2.2.x branch for critical fixes to end up in so we can continue to have even more rock solid builds.

Thanks for the quick answer for both of you Alex and Jurgen, I downgraded JAVA to v8 and and it works.

And well deserved …
You and the entire development team are to be congratulated.

I have already upgraded from version 2.1.0 to 2.2.0 and everything is now working, with some improvements already implemented.
Not until after a few difficulties, which were only exceeded after having performed an installation from scratch. So I got a “new” and “clean” system.

Once again, thank you very much for the excellent results.

A Very Happy New Year to the entire openHAB community.

Whenever Canonical decides to update it. I don’t think we have any input into that process and when I use other open source programs they almost all universally say not to use the very outdated versions that come in the Ubuntu repos.

See http://docs.openhab.org/installation/linux.html#package-repository-installation to install the OH repo and update and install from there.

Hi!
I’d like to update! Since it’s my first update i have some thoughts:
Are there any instructions, suggestions on what to do/backup?
I don’t want to lose my setup (i have a hard copy) but i want to update as smooth as possible.
Or does nothing get lost after the update (bindings, habpanel etc.)
Thank you!

It would help if would know from which OH version you are intending to update and which hardware you are using.
Other then that a look into the documentation would help.
Migration from OH1.x
Upgrade on a Linux system
Update on a Windows system

Oh sorry you are right.
I use a raspberri 3 with zwave shield thats running oh 2.1.

Why not make an image of your SD card before you start? That way you can always go back to your current state. I also upgraded and had no problems. Just make sure you answer ‘yes’ if asked to change some files.
Backup as stated in the docs an I think you’ll be fine (but I’m no expert as some of the other guys here though)

I already created an image and i frequently backup my config folder. Just wanted to make sure that i did not forget anything important before upgrading. Thank you!

@Kai
Are there any plans for a proper KNX binding / support?
If I understood the various github discussions correctly,some groundwork on openhab2 needs to be done to get KNX 1 or 2 binding properly running like on openhab 1.x without flooding the bus with echoed telegrams

Thanks

This is exactly what I needed to fix logging in my openHABian instance an my apt-get upgrade to 2.2… like others, I elected to keep the old config files.

Hi all,

just to document it in this thread too: There seem to be a problem with starting oH 2.2. via LaunchDaemon on macOS. (OH2.2.0 unable to start via LaunchDaemon on macOS).

Cheers
Norman

I am using OH 2.2 on Ubuntu 16.04, have loaded the Home Builder add on, and am not finding anywhere how to launch it. Is it accessed via localhost and a port?

Once installed it should appear as a new UI in your dashboard (ie. when you go to http://ohserver:8080 where ohserver is the ip address or hostname of your OH machine.

Made a new installation openHAB2 # 1222
At the first start, I chose the standard.
In the paperUI, the Home Builder was deleted and restarted openHAB2.
Home Builder again :slight_smile:
