The washer is discovered and goes green, properties are present :
but after some second it goes offline and I observe this in the log :

This is an I/O exception reading the cap json file and is not related to de binding.
You can try to visualize your Washer capability file to see if it’s readable and accessible though the SO. If you believe it’s not a corrupted file or hardware problem, you can attach the file here than I can take a look.
Hello @nemer , thanks for your quick answer.
The file is ok, owned by openhab:openhab. Opening it, I can read it and from a json syntax point of view it is correct.
Here’s a link to the file
the comment part contains a lot of invalid characters (not UTF-8). Json data should be in UTF-8, UTF-16, or UTF-32 and UTF-8 it the default.
You can try to edit the file by yourself and remove the invalid content or convert it to UTF-8 using some text editor. It must fix the problem. However, I must now why you have a JSON LG descriptor file with invalid encoding. If the source file come from LG API as you mention, then I need to handle it in some way. So… can you get the model’s URL info for me ?
To do so, you must go to:
administration > settings > things > [your thing]
Then you can see Thing Properties in Information session (normally is collapsed, then you can expand it), like this:
modl_url_info is the information I need, but it’s a big text and you can see only the beginning. To get the complete url (and it’s the boring part), you have to use Chrome’s DevTools to inspect this item and see the complete value of it (if you are using Chorme, I hope). To do so, simple press CTRL+SHIFT+C and use the mouse to click to the model_url_info value (https://objectcontent…). Then you gonna have something like this:
hi to all, I’m a OH4.0.2 user, and I have a new LG fridge, but I’m not a developer…
some questions :
how I have to handle .json file? do I have to copy in adding folder?
(I usually use .jar file for community bindings)
all my OH configuration is made by text files, do you have some example for .thing file?
thanks
Sorry for late response,
It’s possible to configure LG Thinq by this binding textually, but you first need to registry the bridge and discovery it from the UI. It’s necessary because the binding needs some informations that is available by the LG API, after the registry process. In other words, you can’t get this information manually.
So, the steps I recommend to configure textually your thing are:
Add the LG Thinq Bridge configuring your LG Account. It will automaticatty discovery LG Thinqs associated toi your account
Add the LG Thinq things you want to control
Go to the thing, and copy the configurations the binding filled automatically.
Remove the thing, and create the associated .thing file.
how I have to handle .json file? do I have to copy in adding folder?
No. No. Json files created by the binding is only to save the metadata from the device. You don´t need to handle it.
You get the @jgesser example and override the values based on what you have configured in the UI. To do so, as I told you, you need first create the Bridge and the Thing and both must be online. So… go to the bridge and get the values you filled to username, password, language, country, etc. and update the Bridge lgthinq:bridge:LGAccount session.
After, go to the Thing you created and get the properties:
There is a tip to you get model_url_info value from UI, since the value is big, the UI truncate it. You need to use the Developer Tool from Chrome to access this fully value. You can find it in some reply in this topic.
hi, thanks, now its’ work. but is correct there only 3 items available ?
what is the difference betwen ACEscritorio 401 and 101?
what is the correct configuration for a fridge?
thanks !!
sorry i means channel, I get only setpoint for fridge, refriferatore, open door and unit temperature,
from the LG app there are also “express cool” and “express frezze” switch, water filter information etc…
thanks
sorry … why values are not updates? my freezer item always 3°C
but in the freezer it is at -18°C, this is my items :
Contact FrigoSomeDoorOpen “Porta APERTA” (GR_LgThinQ_FRIGO) {channel=“lgthinq:101:LGAccount:ACEscritorio:some-door-open”}
Number:Temperature FrigoFreezerTemperature “Setpoint Temperatura FRIGO” (GR_LgThinQ_FRIGO) {channel=“lgthinq:101:LGAccount:ACEscritorio:freezer-temperature”}
Number:Temperature FrigoFridgeTemperature “Setpoint Temperatura CONGELATORE” (GR_LgThinQ_FRIGO) {channel=“lgthinq:101:LGAccount:ACEscritorio:fridge-temperature”}
// String FrigoTempUnit “Temp. unit” (GR_LgThinQ_FRIGO) {channel=“lgthinq:101:LGAccount:ACEscritorio:temp-unit”}
