Error after update to 2.1: Rollershutteridem vs. Switchitem

Setup, Configuration and Use Beginners
1

Hey,
today I felt courageous and I did the upgrade from OpenHab 2.0 to OpenHab 2.1.

First nothing worked, because OH now ignored item-files with errors OH 2.0 did like. Well… fixed it. No problem.

But one new error is for example:

2017-07-06 20:18:49.509 [ERROR] [ssories.AbstractHomekitAccessoryImpl] - Type Raffstore_109_43_Essen_Oben_Lamellen is a org.eclipse.smarthome.core.library.items.RollershutterItem instead of the expected org.eclipse.smarthome.core.library.items.SwitchItem

The item seems to work properly…
The item is:

Rollershutter   Raffstore_109_43_Essen_Oben_Lamellen    "Lamellen Essen Oben"             [ "Switchable" ] { knx="3/1/78,3/1/79,3/1/101" }

What does the error come from? Why?! And … why does it work?

But anyway … I need to solve the problem - i dont like error-messages in my log-file :slight_smile:

Thanks,
Patrick

I don’t think that the Homekit binding supports Rolleshutters (yet)

there is a development version that will bring support: Link

Hey Angelos,

I dont use Homekit - I use KNX… :frowning:

And it does work. Just the errors are in my log-file.

but… the log says:

and your item is tagged: [ “Switchable” ]

The error seems to be coming from the tag (Switchable is expecting Switch Item type instead of the defined Rollershutter )
I think… :slight_smile:

Hey Angelos,

I guess you are right. But I had to do this, because of my Amazon Echos, which expect those Homekit-Tags, to get the items to use to know. :frowning: Guess i have to live with that error… maybe i should create a bulk of “empty” items for Alexa and react via script on changes… that would solve it and i have got all the alexa-items in ONE single file.

Hmm…

Thank anyway :slight_smile:
