Event log issue

After getting a Raspberry Pi working, I thought it would be a good idea to get a old linux server working, ive been racking my brain for a few days as to why my device wont turn ON or OFF, and I have just noticed something in the events log that doesnt look quite right

2017-12-01 14:43:23.382 [ome.event.ItemCommandEvent] - Item 'GarageLEDS' received command OFF
2017-12-01 14:43:23.383 [vent.ItemStateChangedEvent] - GarageLEDS changed from ON to OFF
2017-12-01 14:43:27.138 [ome.event.ItemCommandEvent] - Item 'GarageLEDS' received command ON
2017-12-01 14:43:27.140 [vent.ItemStateChangedEvent] - GarageLEDS changed from OFF to ON
2017-12-01 14:43:27.333 [ome.event.ItemCommandEvent] - Item 'GarageLEDS' received command OFF
2017-12-01 14:43:27.334 [vent.ItemStateChangedEvent] - GarageLEDS changed from ON to OFF
2017-12-01 14:43:27.526 [ome.event.ItemCommandEvent] - Item 'GarageLEDS' received command ON
2017-12-01 14:43:27.527 [vent.ItemStateChangedEvent] - GarageLEDS changed from OFF to ON
2017-12-01 14:43:27.714 [ome.event.ItemCommandEvent] - Item 'GarageLEDS' received command OFF
2017-12-01 14:43:27.715 [vent.ItemStateChangedEvent] - GarageLEDS changed from ON to OFF
2017-12-01 14:43:27.891 [ome.event.ItemCommandEvent] - Item 'GarageLEDS' received command ON
2017-12-01 14:43:27.892 [vent.ItemStateChangedEvent] - GarageLEDS changed from OFF to ON

Notice after the date and time there is [vent.xxxxxx and [ome.Itemxxxxx

I’m guessing VENT might actually mean EVENT

I hotice in the event log on my pi the following

2017-12-01 14:48:24.680 [ItemCommandEvent          ] - Item 'Magnifier' received command ON
2017-12-01 14:48:24.689 [ItemStateChangedEvent     ] - Magnifier changed from OFF to ON
2017-12-01 14:48:24.918 [ItemCommandEvent          ] - Item 'Magnifier' received command OFF
2017-12-01 14:48:24.928 [ItemStateChangedEvent     ] - Magnifier changed from ON to OFF
2017-12-01 14:48:25.153 [ItemCommandEvent          ] - Item 'Magnifier' received command ON
2017-12-01 14:48:25.162 [ItemStateChangedEvent     ] - Magnifier changed from OFF to ON
2017-12-01 14:48:25.405 [ItemCommandEvent          ] - Item 'Magnifier' received command OFF
2017-12-01 14:48:25.409 [ItemStateChangedEvent     ] - Magnifier changed from ON to OFF

These dont have the OME and VENT prefix

Any thoughts

Same here, that is not your problem …

It is just slightly different log appender configs. Why they are different I don’t know, but the first one is showing as much of the fully qualified classname that will fit in the [ ] and the second is just putting the class name without the package name.

Are you running slightly different versions of OH on the two?

The events.log does show that the Item is switching ON and OFF so your problem lies in the Item config or the binding config.

its a strange one i ran sudo apt-get update and everything started working
