HueBridge Exception every 10 second

Setup, Configuration and Use Installation
,
#1

Since yesterday all “of a sudden” I get an **Huebridge exception **from the binding every 10 seconds.

The only thing that “happened” was that I had installed the Rest UI (I am not sure whether it was directly related) but even after uninstalling the exception still appears.

Note

  • All Hue devices do work fine
  • I did try to press the pairing button on the bridge as mentioned in some github issues but that did not fix the problem.
  • I restarted openhab but the problem stays.
  • I am on openhab 2.4. The hue binding is 2.4.0.SNAPSHOT

Any idea what to do next as it clutters my logs very much (and I am not sure if it has any other side effect)

TIA
Stefan

#2

The problem even was worse than I thought!

  • the whole zwave network did not work anymore
  • Commands were sent but had no effect on any of the devices.
  • no exception was shown, though the debug log said something like “Senddataabort”.
  • I tried to heal the network and I again got the above error “MethodNotFound”.

Basically this means that the same library seems to be loaded with a wrong version and hence provides a wrong or even in this case wrong API (with a missing method).

I finally “solved” myself after many hours. Cleaning the cache (openhab-console clean-cache) solved the problem. The only explanation I have is that through installing the json extension I got an inconsistent com.google.json lib and it had stayed there even after uninstalling it.

Hope that helps anybody who runs into a similar problem in the future.
