Hi Jay - I did review the code and believe i did find an intermittent issue. Let me run a fix over the weekend and verify it works - then i’ll upload a new version for you to try. Regards, Jeff ---

Hey Jeff, EDIT: restarted from scratch and its still happening, going to roll back. Dropped it in and got this. Both Things in the GUI were blank, going to do a clean startup next. [dump.txt](https://community.openhab.org/uploads/short-url/8Wv1YNgfb7Vqu74Qk9u4hezPKUp.txt) (19.8 KB) Best, Jay ---

Hi Jay - There’s an issue that in 5.0, there are added semantic tags in the model which if they are not removed cause this error when running in 4.3.x. I thought I had removed those for the build I did, but I guess not. Can you try to download from the link again? Thanks. ---

> [@jsjames](#): > > 5.0, there are added semantic tags in the model I dropped it in this time and it worked fine. I’m not doing a clean restart of OH and will test the trigger channel either tonight or tomorrow morning w/the sprinkler system. Best, Jay ---

I got the alerts in the event log this time. flume:meter-device:e14420bb44:7105470611102401252:usage-alert triggered High Flow Alert triggered at 2025-06-18T02:12. Water has been running for 15 minutes averaging 10.3 gallons every minute. flume:meter-device:e14420bb44:7105470611102401252:usage-alert triggered High Flow Alert triggered at 2025-06-18T04:35. Water has been running for 15 minutes averaging 9.4 gallons every minute. But, the rule never fired, and I think I know why. The original version of the binding you had **usageAlert** and now it’s **usage-alert**. I’ll have to test this change to see if it fires now.
