Here is a newbie question: I can see the documentation for the Paradox alarm system binding here: Paradox Alarm System - Bindings | openHAB but the code is not available through my Paper UI. How exactly can I get it for installation in my openhab2 system? Many thanks, Pierre

Thanks for the tip: I will try that. Pierre

Hi again, I just did the upgrade to 2.5 M3 but I am now getting a new problem. The system appears to be starting normally, but it reports an error upon loading my sitemap file, even though I have not changed it at all. Here is the relevant section of my logfile: 2019-09-30 17:56:44.171 [INFO ] […

@kovacsi2899 Yes, thanks for the info. I will be checking the forum you mention as soon as I can get the basics of my system working again. @rlkoshak Yes, you are right: I did manage to get my sitemap file read in after I followed your suggestion of copying and pasting the contents of my old sitema…
