Help Needed: Error in HTTP Thing Configuration Cannot find channel implementation for channel http:url:deye:last-success

Setup, Configuration and Use Beginners

Hi OpenHAB Community,

I’m running into an issue with my Deye Inverter configuration. In the logs, I get the following warnings:

less

2025-02-16 11:43:21.437 [WARN ] [nding.http.internal.HttpThingHandler] - Cannot find channel implementation for channel http:url:deye:last-success.
2025-02-16 11:43:21.444 [WARN ] [nding.http.internal.HttpThingHandler] - Cannot find channel implementation for channel http:url:deye:last-failure.

Here’s the configuration I’m using for the Deye Inverter:

Thing http:url:deye "Deye Inverter" [
    baseURL="http://192.168.178.33/status.html",
    header="",
    authMode="BASIC",
    username="secret",
    password="secret",
    ignoreSSLErrors=true,
    delay=0,
    stateMethod="GET",
    refresh=60,
    commandMethod="GET",
    strictErrorHandling=true,
    timeout=3000,
    bufferSize=2048,
    refresh=15] {
        Channels:
         Type number : energyTotal "Energy Total" [ mode="READONLY", stateTransformation="REGEX:.*var webdata_total_e = \"([0-9]+[\\.][0-9]+).*"]
         Type number : currentPower "current Power" [ mode="READONLY", stateTransformation="REGEX:.*var webdata_now_p = \"([0-9]+).*"]
}

The error suggests that http:url:deye:last-success and http:url:deye:last-failure are missing, but I haven’t added these channels explicitly.

  • Has anyone else encountered a similar issue with HTTP bindings in OpenHAB?
  • How should I define or remove these missing channels?

Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

How was this Thing created? My HTTP thing all have a last-success and last-failure Channel created automatically (I didn’t create them). These are a datetime Channel which record the last time the binding successfully retrieved the URL and the last time it failed. I don’t have them linked to anything but apparently they are required.

I created it via file…

the Yaml shows: also these channels…

:man_shrugging: I don’t do .things files. It’s complaining about those two Channels though. Maybe there’s a bug since these are autogenerated Channels.
