I just updated my OH2 install to the latest snapshot (and of course broke it in the process). During the process of fixing it, I deleted the “black box” mapdb database - and the GC binding stopped working (although it still showed as “online”).
The problem was the ir-codes.map file. Once I manually discovered the “thing” through the Paper UI and added the ir-codes.map file - which was blank - (and saved back to the mapdb), we were good again. So I have to conclude that the binding is not picking up the name of the code mapping file from the text file definition of the “thing” I have.
So either my syntax is wrong (and it is copied from the Wiki), or the binding is not reading the “thing” file properly.
Just FYI.
