HomeHabit Dashboard - Updates

@Kim_Andersen Can you give a little bit more details on where you don’t see items and what steps you took after connecting to the platform?

Generally, after connecting to a platform and creating a dashboard, you should be able to see all your items when creating a widget (selecting recommended way). If that’s not happening, and platform says that it is connected, please provide details on your setup such as: OpenHAB version, Android OS version, device model, the app version.

App version 1.0 Beta 20
openhab 2.5 stable
App says it´s connected. (I entered local IP and no username/password).
When I add a widget in the dashboard, and press the +, I get an option to Select Items (recommended). Next screen says Search items… But nothing happens.

Also tried to explore a widget and add a Dimmer. Then add an item. But again nothing.

EDIT:
Is the Rest API suppose to be installed in openhab?

Yes, Rest API should be installed. It should be always installed in OpenHAB, isn’t it?

What is your Android OS and device versions?

Yes, just REST docs is optional.

@Kim_Andersen Also, when you get a chance, can you upload debug logs from the Support screen?

I´m not sure… Rest API Doc´s isnt always installed.

Android 8.0 (Samsung Galaxy S7).

Debug log uploaded just a few sec ago.

Just tried on my Huawei tablet (T3) and it works fine. I receive the items just fine.
So something weird going on with my Galaxy S7 phone.

Thanks for the update and uploading the logs. Will see what could be the problem on the Galaxy S7 device.
