Hello everyone, I live in Italy very close to the most ‘striked’ zone, between Milan and Bergamo. I go to work every day. I am lucky to work in a medical company because having to ensure continuity to our products we can go out to reach office. It’s a good things because is very booring to stay at home alone all the time. My home automation is suffering too because openwebnet binding is expired and the gateway is not more available. The developer is not more available since December 19, so my thermostas and rolling shutter don’t work anymore… This is what happen when a single developer take care about a project. Does anyone know how to exploit an hack to let that binding works again? Thankyou all… and keep your Spirit High in this bad time ) Roberto
There was some binding that expired and somebody extended the date. Try the new version 2.5.3 that was released yesterday.
I’m living near Frankfurt, Germany. Working from home and sitting my daughters. Because my wife is “system relevant” doctor, I have to manage the family life on my own.
Fortunataly, we have nice spring weather and a back yard, so girls can play outside. And I install a smart irrigation now.
Thank you Bruce, I did it, but I preferred not talk about it because seems to not work very well, it’s very slowly. After deactivate the binding I’ve imported the newer file in the openhab addon folder. The gateway became green but things were working not properly. My installation is on a docker linux machine. Maybe I have to try on linux without containers. I haven’t necessary skill to debug the binding. Thank you
I am trying to simplify & improve the Docker experience as I am able in my spare time.
It is not ready to try out yet because I am still in the early stages. I am trying to learn somewhat from other Docker based projects.
Thanks for the link, I tried it and found that I needed to change the number for the state by 1. Example, Kansas is currently listed as number 40 so you would use the number 39.
For Kansas confirmend stats:
Number KS_Corona_Confirmed “Kansas Covid 19 confirmed [%d]” {http="<[https://corona-stats.online/US?format=json:600000:JSONPATH($.[39].confirmed) ]"}
I’ve just now started to test this but as @christoph_wempe mentioned if the state’s numbers get changed then you will need to also change the config.
If the state’s number is changed only by other state’s being added, hopefully, all will be listed soon and no further config adjustments needed.
@Bruce_Osborne thanks for the link, 
I will continue to try and figure out how to get this info into OH…I’m not to swift at such task. 
This should get you Kansas everytime.
Number KS_Corona_Confirmed “Kansas Covid 19 confirmed [%d]” {http="<[https://corona-stats.online/US?format=json:600000:JSONPATH($.[?(@.province=='Kansas')].confirmed) ]"}
Much better than my try! Thanks
I am in Corinthia Austria on the Italian, Slovenian border and I am working from home as are all those that can in my company. Watching the world from my garden it seems like every day is like a Sunday. My partner is not allowed to work as she works in a kindergarten but thankfully she will still get 90% of her pay.
Just before the lockdown happened I was ill with flu and then a lung infection, bronchitus. So, my symptoms were exactly those of covid 19. I was surprised that I was not tested at the time.
I am one those crazy types who even before covid19 washed my hands frequently, carried hand gel, avoided handshakes, public door handles etc.
Handshakes in my company are a traditional greeting every morning between managers and their subordinates. My manager got used to me being reluctant about it. As I am Englishman in Austria I think I get away with it as allowances are made for culture differences.
To my main point. I was hoping that the covid19 experience after/if its over would also make people more aware about the effects on others of flu and cold viruses; especially on those that are not as strong. Even those of us that are normally resistant or just soldier on regardless should realise that a flu virus can lead to significant health problems for them and their family members.
One reason why I am more aware the flu season is that after a flu infection I got permanent damage of my inner ear and and there followed 10 years plus of misery with vertigo after that. Also, when my Dad was fighting his lung cancer a flu infection would have killed him.
So, I hope the lock down will have impact not just on covid19 but also on other transmissable diseases and peoples attitudes and too casual acceptance of the flu and colds. Maybe it starts a debate on this at least.
In my view if you’re sick, with anything, stay away from others. Its selfish not to do so. You shouldn’t assume just because you can handle it others can too.
I am from Padova, near “Vo Euganeo” a small town that at the very beginning of the Coronovirus Italian outbreak was completely locked down (everyone had to stay at home). Italy lock down is not as strict, at least for now.
In my province the number of daily cases is not as big as in Lombardy, but it is still very worrying: even though Intensive care units beds are being substantially increased, patients requiring such beds are increasing at a faster rate.
My family is at home: my wife and I, we are “smart working” from home. My son and daughter are following lessons remotely. In the last two weeks I only got out for grocery shopping twice. We are also very worried about my 83 years old mother-in-law who lives in a small town in Trentino (north of Veneto): she brings the grocery in her flat with a winch to avoid every possible contact. Elder people are the most hit by covid-19, especially here in northern Italy: these are not only statistical numbers but real people!
Let me add another bit of information that probably got drowned in the huge flow of news in the media. Massive testing performed in the small town of Vo Euganeo (3.5k people) proved that 50-75% of Infectious individuals are completely asymptomatic. (An english link is here). This percentage is consistent with a totally independent study, published on Science, that shows that the chinese evolution of reported infectious data was consistent with a percentage of asyptomatic infectious individuals of 80%. Therefore, there is a growing scientific evidence that infection is being spread by asymptomatic individuals.
This is to beg you to avoid all contacts, keep social distancing and be extremely cautious with your elder relatives, no matter if you are sick or not!
All the best
@christoph_wempe thanks for taking the time to help with this.
For me it does not seem to work as I get this error continuously in logs:
2020-03-21 12:43:08.326 [ERROR] [b.core.service.AbstractActiveService] - Error while executing background thread HTTP Refresh Service

I tried changing province to state but got the same error. Any help or advice to troubleshoot would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
EDIT: Got it working by manually typing everything in … guess copy and paste didn’t work for this time. 
Thanks again.
Same here in Germany (Hamburg).
We (my wife, two boys aged 5 and 10 and I) just came back one week ago from a 2 weeks Spain vacation. After our arrival here Spain was declared as a risk country, so I need to work from home (international electronics company) for two weeks.
We are all feeling well but what if we have it in us without knowing?
Schools are closed until April 19th at least.
I regularly work from home, but with two boys running around and a wife working from home as well is different than a “regular” working-from-home-day 
You all take care!
We do!
We see how you struggle in Italy and I agree that it’s crucial to don’t risk anything.
In Hamburg (and other parts of Germany) we give an applause every evening at 9 pm from the balcony to say thank you to police, nurses and doctors.
We tried to sing (like you in Italy) but… you know… Germans and singing does not really fit
All the best wishes to you and your beloved!
Good advice for sure. Well wishes and prayers from the USA!
I am in Ottawa, Canada. Almost everything has been shut off here. Schools are closed, most government departments are closed. Retailing any many private companies are also closed. Everyone works from home if possible, the rest unfortunately will be laid off. I just saw a photo of our highway this morning. Almost empty, which is a good thing; people are practicing social distance. The hit to the economy will be huge. We already have 500K+ people applying for employment insurance. We are for waiting for the storm surge, and hope for the best.
Aside from all the gloomy news, anyone finding that they have more times to work on their home automation code? I do, and that is pretty much the only good thing out of this situation.
Be safe everyone.
I’m in the South East of England. Unlike most here I’m not I.T based but run a refrigeration and air-Conditioning company. Since the outbreak we have lost 99% of our business as it was predominantly in the hospitality sector.
The last few weeks have been extremely difficult but thankfully with contingencies put in place since the 08 crash and the fact the chancellor has now stepped in for wage cover we should come out the other side and we’ve been able to safeguard all of our employees jobs.
On a personal level myself and family are isolating as much as reasonably possible (a quick pop to smaller food shops now and then). I also have a brother living in Shanghai China, who this week has come out of his apartment for the first time in 2 and a half months.
I’m growing increasingly frustrated at a lot of the uk public for not taking this seriously. Maybe it’s because of my brother and the increased insight into it all…
Although I’ve seen communities pull together on the whole, people still don’t seem to grasp the social distancing measures required to protect everyone here in the uk, especially those most venerable.
Alot of celebrities are irritating me, seeing the posts on the likes of twitter in most cases making a complete mockery of the whole situation.
Stay safe everyone during these unprecedented times.
Not taking it seriously… that’s my impression too of current British attitude. I had a second strong discussion with my 84 year old mother in less than a week. Last week she was still socialising and off to visit my sister who is a retired doctor with a sailor daughter stuck on a yacht in a Spainish port. I explained to her she should spend more time on the phone, use Duo. WhatsApp, Alexa video call, in the garden, and avoid socialising for a few weeks. Yes she she can just about use the tech 
I had already trained her well enough. Its taken years!! But, I just got a load of resistance and references to the war mentality of carrying on despite ‘troubles’.
The visit to my sister was called off by my sister but when I called my Mum yesterday I find she was having tea with her friend at home. Her friend has a daughter who works at a pharmacist dispensing medicine to sick people! Then she told me she had been asked to go for a coffee only to find the cafe shut. She was equally surprised to find that the clubs she belongs to have stopped meeting.
She isn’t stupid or senile but from Austria where I am writing this it looks looks like an incredibly wreckless attitude for a deadly, very contagious virus.
Where is this attitude coming from? The war, the government, or just thinking that Brits are somehow different to the rest of world. Maybe Brexit thinking applies ??? Its baffling. Or maybe its because they are still in denial and a few weeks behind the worst affected countries.
I hate talking about this, but I think it’s human nature to try to keep connected.
In the Netherlands there’s also social distancing in place, meaning food and drink establishments are closed. But you can trust the Dutch to just go out and enjoy themselves in nature, so everyone is going to parks and such now without keeping proper distance.
It sometimes just boggles me how we ever survived previous pandemics with less knowledge and information sharing, must’ve been sheer luck.
Well… the Black Death (1347-1351) killed around 1/3 of Europe’s population at that time. I guess if we accept around 200 million dead in Europe, we can ignore social distancing.
We have it happening in Australia as well. My guess is we have spent the last 2 weeks calling people panic buying up toilet paper insane whilst we had very few cases that now the average person does not want to look like they are over reacting to ‘just another flu’. Not many people are seeing this as serious as it is. Tomorrow they are closing schools and shops that don’t need to be open so that should hopefully make people think a little more.
