I recently (last week or two) updated to the 2.0.0 released version of openhab, along with the associated zwave binding I installed using PaperUI. One of my devices is coming up as ‘unknown’. I went to the database webpage to enter it, but it’s already there (and has been for months). But, it doe…

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the binding in PaperUI. It didn’t work. Database still not updated.

An important part there was - if you are using the snapshot version, it will update to the latest version. If you only want to upfate zwave [image] How to upgrade Zwave-Binding to latest Snapshot? Bindings I am using the 2.0 Release Version (OH2 Core and Offl…

Database updates and using snapshot builds shouldn’t be tightly coupled. There needs to be a way to update the device database without using alpha code.

[image] llamahunter: Database updates and using snapshot builds shouldn’t be tightly coupled. You don’t need snapshot builds (runtime and binding) for that update, you just need to update the stable binding to a snapshot binding.

[image] llamahunter: Database updates and using snapshot builds shouldn’t be tightly coupled. Unfortunately there’s no current alternative due to the way the framework works (ie ESH). It reads the XML files from the JAR and the startup relies on this. I’m also not a real fan of allowing ‘ad-…

[image] chris: So you’re happy to use an “alpha database” but not “alpha code” I would hope that the binding code wouldn’t crash if there were semantic errors in the database. Does it not validate its inputs? Also, as I understand it, there’s an approval process already in place for databas…

[image] llamahunter: I would hope that the binding code wouldn’t crash if there were semantic errors in the database No - it probably won’t - but if you have wrong information in the database, then it WILL stop your device working, so the result is the same. [image] llamahunter: Does it …

[image] chris: I would also like to see some level of ‘online database’ and I started to code this. If implemented, it would only be for configuration parameters, however at the moment, ESH simply doesn’t allow this Hmm… seems like a shortcoming of the ESH platform. Can you provide any point…

[image] llamahunter: seems like a shortcoming of the ESH platform. Maybe - it’s a constraint that we live with - all systems have them… There are ways around it clearly. [image] llamahunter: it seems like the zwave binding could just make its own outbound network request to a database se…
