  • Issue of the topic:
    I added through paperUI a new binding darksky and configured it on paperUI but
    i didn’t manage to let it go online it shows only this row in the logs

[INFO ] [ome.event.ThingStatusInfoChangedEvent] - 'darksky:weather-api:Dark_Sky_Bridge' changed from UNKNOWN to OFFLINE

there is some way to have a more exaustive log?

I tried my api_key in the browser from the same machine i installed openhab2 and it works

*Configuration

On jsonDB things file i have this configuration (obfuscated apikey):

"darksky:weather-api:Dark_Sky_Bridge": {
    "class": "org.eclipse.smarthome.core.thing.internal.BridgeImpl",
    "value": {
      "label": "Dark Sky",
      "channels": [],
      "configuration": {
        "properties": {

          "apikey": "1***************************4",

          "refreshInterval": 62,

          "language": "en"

        }

      },

      "properties": {},

      "uid": {

        "segments": [

          "darksky",

          "weather-api",

          "Dark_Sky_Bridge"

        ]

      },

      "thingTypeUID": {

        "segments": [

          "darksky",

          "weather-api"

        ]

      },

      "location": "Home"

    } 
}

Be more precise there is a HUGE difference between 2.0 and 2.5.1, for instance.

Funny coincidence. I was using the DarkSky API earlier today and it was definitely down for a period of time. I don’t remember the exact time or for how long, but it was down.
