Can't remove MyBMW Binding

Setup, Configuration and Use Beginners
1

OH 5.1.4 running on RPI5 Configured entirely with Main UI

Installed MyBMW Binding a while back and had it working briefly, but now that it’s discontinued I’d like to remove it.

Binding doesn’t show up in the bundle:list, but I still have the MyBMW Account Thing in the GUI. Unable to open it from the GUI.

Any ideas on how to proceed?

Hi @brianlay

When in the things list at the top right there is a Select. Click that and pick the item you want to delete and the option to delete will appear at the bottom.

I have the same problem. The thing is in “Removing” a few days after the delete process @BrettLHolmes described. Then it appears with error again…

@timl you can attempt to delete it a second time and you will be prompted to force the deletion because the binding may become unstable. In this case its fine since you no longer want the thing

Hi,You can remove it manually from the console since it’s not showing in bundle:list. Sometimes discontinued bindings leave behind orphaned things.

Try:

  • bundle:list -s | grep -i bmw to double-check if anything is still there

  • If found, uninstall with bundle:uninstall <bundle_id>

  • If nothing shows, remove the Thing from the JSONDB (userdata/jsondb/org.openhab.core.thing.Thing.json) and then restart OpenHAB

Also worth clearing the cache (userdata/cache and tmp) before restarting. That usually gets rid of stuck or ghost bindings.

Thanks. Via list view it was not possible. I opened the Thing and got the error “Cannot load thing-type ‘mybmw:account’: Not Found” (Thw binding was uninstalled a few weeks ago). But the remove button in the Thing detail worked after the thing was in “Removing” state. Thanks.
