So i have my phone and a read in posts that i am able to send my alarm data to openhab via this app Home Automation Alarm Sender. I install it to my phone.
Item
String phone_alarm “phone_alarm”
Did you install the REST API as mentioned here ?
Edit: the REST API is installed by default I think so you do not need the above. It is just the documentation. You should be able to see the API icon when you access the initial page http://192.168.1.43:8080
Are you on the same wifi as the openhab server ?
If you use your browser on your smartphone can you access http://192.168.1.43:8080 ?
I am not a developer so I do not get all the details about software versioning but I would say that you are hitting this bug.
All I can say is that I am running on 2.4 (stable) and my cron jobs are running fine
