Hi,

I am currently set up a fresh installation of Openhabian (Stable).
During installation, I installed Homegear (not checked if it was running at that time).
After other configuration steps of things, rules and items, I`m reaching the time to get the Homematic sensor configured. Added the binding and the Bridge Thing… Offline (ConnectionExeption: Connection refused).

so I thought I forgot homegear installation and used openhabian-config to install it… This ends in an Error.

journalctl -xeu homegear.service

shows me:

Unfortunately not!
In various other Posts, it looks like it is a general problem with Homegear and Bookworm or Trixie.
BUT I cannot believe, since it seems nearly nobody hits this issue but us both… since this problem seems to exist a while now.

Not really satisfying for me.

I got it to start to by using

homegear -u homegear -g homegear -d

still not really happy. After I copied my backup into the system it doesn’t find any of the devices.

Thanks for sharing.

I am not at home currently. Will test it after return.
