bindingConfig must have a key and a value

Add-ons Bindings
1

Hello,

I am having trouble settings up the astro binding. i have the astro binding and astro action installed. i have in my openhab.cfg the lat/lon. Do they need to be ‘.’ or ‘,’ ?

The latitude

astro:latitude=12,345678

The longitude

astro:longitude=12,345678

I get a error in my logfile. "bindingConfig must have a key and a value’"
2016-02-22 14:35:06.435 [ERROR] [i.internal.GenericItemProvider] - Binding configuration of type ‘astro’ of item ‘Zodiac_Sign‘ could not be parsed correctly.

this is my items file
String Zodiac_Sign “Current zodiac [%s]” (Astro) { astro=“planet=sun,zodiac, property=sign” }

i am running OH 1.7 and the astro 1.7 bindings.

Does anybody know where i go wrong ?

Regards,
Pieter

This is a working example:

################################# Astro Binding #######################################
#
# The latitude
astro:latitude=53.yyyyy

# The longitude
astro:longitude=7.xxxxx

# Refresh interval for azimuth and elevation calculation in seconds
# (optional, defaults to disabled)
astro:interval=3600

Make sure you have only the binding installed, not the action.

And change your item to:

String Zodiac_Sign "Current zodiac [%s]" (Astro) {astro="planet=sun, type=zodiac, property=sign"}

Yes, i got it working. I did a bit to much ‘search and replace’ and apprently corrupted that bindingconfig.

What does the astro binding do and what does the astro action do ?
