Hi,

ich habe Openhabian installiert und dann die Homegear installation über die gui durchgeführt. Diese endet mit Fehlermeldung. Homegear startet leider nicht. Nach sudo -u homegear homegear erhalte ich folgende Ausgabe:

Es scheint irgendwie an diesem Punkt zu liegen: Critical: Cannot start script engine server. Exiting Homegear.
Ich möchte einfach nur Homegear über das Openhabian GUI installieren…

Weiß jemand Rat?

Danke und Gruß

English, please.

You must not manually start homegear. If installed via openhabian-config, it’s a service.
See systemctl status homegear.

Hi, thnx for the quick answert. This is the Error message i get:

While installing Homegear with the Openhabian GUI an error message pops up. The posted infos about the message doesnt help me in any way.

this looks like the executable gpio is not available.
Seems like the package wiringpi is not installed.

Update openHABian and try again to install. Read the debug guide.
