Guide: Installing and testing OH3 snapshots/milestones using APT and YUM

There was a bug in M1 (I think) that broke InfluxDB but that’s long since been fixed. I’m using the same DB of OH 3 and as a result some entries are being duplicated as I’m transitioning Items and such to OH 3, but expect I’ll be dropping InfluxDB in the long run. The built in charting in OH 3 is more than enough to replace Grafana for me and the way it can dynamically create charts all over the place on demand is amazing so I’m using rrd4j and saving everything.

Hi @rlkoshak,

Actually I have the same setup in oh2 with influxdb/grafana. If you switch to rrd4j do you migrate you old influx data to rrd4j? Or the first question should be, is it possible?

166

It should be possible using the REST API. There is a script on the forum here somewhere to migrate from InfluxDB to rrd4j and theoretically it should work in the other direction too. But I don’t plan on moving the data. I’ve got data going back years in InfluxDB. In all that time I’ve never looked back farther than a month. I don’t expect that to change. If I ever need to get that data back I can spin up InfluxDB again and look through it. I’ll let all the new data stay in rrd4j.

I like rrd4j for this because the database doesn’t grow forever so I can fairly reasonably predict how much space I need for now and into the future. This is just me. Others will have different needs and requirements.

Hi @Marc_W1,

The repo name should be https://openhab.jfrog.io/openhab/openhab-linuxpkg-rpm

174

Thanks, that almost worked, I needed to add testing to the end. Just for others, did i miss something or should the install notes be updated with the “rpm” repo.

yum-config-manager --add-repo=https://openhab.jfrog.io/openhab/openhab-linuxpkg-rpm/testing

I might have found a bug, when flipping back in forth with the following same line, adding { ga=“Switch” }, the switch rule was not executing unless i restarted openhab.

Switch FiosTrigger  "External trigger [%s]" { ga="Switch" }
or
Switch FiosTrigger  "External trigger [%s]"

2nd issue, the following switches was working in oh2 for a year, does not work with oh3, any ideas?

Switch Fios2       "Fios2"       <light> (LivingRoom) [ "Switchable" ] { http=">[ON:POST:http://0005cd2df566.fios-router.home/MainZone/index.put.asp:cmd0=PutZone_InputFunction%2FSAT/CBL] >[OFF:POST:http://0005cd2df566.fios-router.home/MainZone/index.put.asp:cmd0=PutZone_InputFunction%2FGAME]" }
Switch ChromeCast2 "ChromeCast2" <light> (LivingRoom) [ "Switchable" ] { http=">[ON:POST:http://0005cd2df566.fios-router.home/MainZone/index.put.asp:cmd0=PutZone_InputFunction%2FGAME] >[OFF:POST:http://0005cd2df566.fios-router.home/MainZone/index.put.asp:cmd0=PutZone_InputFunction%2FSAT/CBL]" }

If you think it is a bug, open an Issue on GitHub to get it resolved or explained.

@Marc_W1

  1. topic: It’s unclear, what you want to achieve with { ga="Switch" }.
    This is not a valid nomenclature of OH to my knowledge.
    Not enough information to dig any deeper into this issue.
  2. issue: You are using the old HTTP binding nomenclature.
    You have to use now {channel= “http:…”}
    Go to things. Add a new HTTP thing.
    Add a channel according your requirements.
    Use channel topic to link your item.

I found the in { ga=“Switch” } https://www.openhab.org/docs/ecosystem/google-assistant/ this page.

I was able to set up what i needed using a rule and not the simple 1 liner which is ok, just more confusing for newbies. I have not found where the new nomenclature documentation is yet, just searching all pages on openhab.org. I know before OH3 is release the proper documentation will be release too.

So the 2 bugs I mentions, only 1 is still open. Bug 1, my fault; nomenclature, Bug 2, I still need to restart my OH3 sometimes to see the actually switch work. My switch shows the switch going from on/off, but it is not actually doing anything until I restart OH3. I did not look into the logs help out yet.

Sorry for the slight highjakcing of the post, after I installed OH3, i just jumped back into this page for help
