Astro binding doesn't initiate at start up

Add-ons Bindings
1

Hi,

I just updated to OH beta 3 and I found that Astro binding only works when I create the “thing”. After reseting the Raspberry, it doesn’t work any more.

I made some tests, and if add a “channel” (anyone that was not activated before) on Sun astro biding, it automatically start working. But again if the Raspberry is restarted it doesn’t work anymore.

I leave here the logs.

As far as I remember, if you define Things manually, you have to shutdown openHAB properly e.g. through

systemctl stop openhab.service

to save these settings. After that, openHAB should load the Thing at startup.

I checked it and still nothing.

Astro was working, I stopped OpenHab using
-sudo systemctl stop openhab
then
-sudo systemctl start openhab

Once started, astro data is not there…

I tried manually and also adding it as a thing, in both cases I have the same problem

There’s a Bug filed for for this (I had the same issue). I usually fix it by unlinking and relinking one of my astro items

Yes, unlinking and relinking solves it…

Can you please post here the bug link so everybody can follow it?

Thanks
