And i was doing soooo good! And the the weather binding kicks me in the gut…
Installed the 1.9 binding through paper ui.
i get this in the log:
Weather location setting ‘location…home.name’ is missing its location. Check openhab.cfg.
Incomplete location config for locationId ‘’. Check openhab.cfg.
so i know there are two … there between location…home. i fixed that a long while back.
i do not have an openhab.cfg file. i have a weather.cfg file just like it needs.
location configuration, you can specify multiple locations
I tried uninstalling the binding and removing the weather.cfg and weather.items file, rebooting and then reinstalling. no joy. i get that same message.
just seems like its looking for something in the wrong place.
The naming of a location is a bit tricky, the “name” with which you can call all channels ( like temp visibility, etc) is the word after “location.”.
You don’t have to use “home” in here!
The label ( or the channel" name") is set using the “location.NameofYourLocation…name”.
Using different words for the name and label would help.
The following worked for me:
config:list
config:delete org.openhab.weather
After you’ve done this, do a REBOOT (I forgot and then it didn’t work) - that solved a lot of problems with the binding and a missing for me, and should work on other references to weather.cfg.
Excellent! that did the trick. back in business! thanks for your help. would not have been able to figure that out and searching on the forum did not turn up that link. hopefully this will leave a trail for someone else!
