Yes, but why, and why not in 2.4? I think it’s looking for it because it can’t find a suitable transformation because the value is strange (?). Thanks, Daniel

Sorry for that, I tried, but used the wrong type of ticks…

I do not use transforms. sorry.

The transformations should not be necessary here, I think. It could be that there is another error triggering a transformation. But it’s strange since it seems to have worked in 2.4.

Have you tried stopping OH, cleaning the cache, and rebooting?

It won’t be looking for contacts.map at random. You do have something configured to instruct openHAB. From the mention of “-” I would guess in a label [format] block. Either an Item definition or a site map entry. The “-” is what OH looks up in a label map for a NULL or UNDEF Item state.

I found the cause in a sitemap, as you say. It was in a map for a door sensor in my sitemap. I was confused because the error was triggered by the switches, but now I understand that it probably was triggered by the switch that updated the gui. I temporarily commented these lines out. Still I think…

[image] dax_se: Is the contacts.map and switches.map standard maps (files)? They are something that you included.and configured. You might want to consider that this issue has probably always been there, but doesn’t show up - unless you have unusual states like UNDEF for your Items that you …

The maps are not in the transformation folder and I have for sure not removed them manually. But perhaps when I created them I followed some instruction on the internet, put them somewhere else and they were removed during the upgrade (?). Note that the sitemap still worked before I commented the li…
