Tutorial: Restart Binding from rule

All, I currently struggle with my Netatmo binding. After a few hours it stops getting updates from the Netatmo station. So I implemented a solution to restart the binding from within a rule. I hope this helps someone for solving similar issues with specific bindings: First generate the key (as an alternative to sshpass) to enable you to start karaf without beeing asked for your password sudo -u openhab ssh-keygen -t rsa -f openhab.id_rsa (no passphrase) Next, put the result (key only of co…

What kind of problem do you encounter during use? Why you have to refresh it every few days?

I had problems with my iCloud binding and couldn´t find any solution.
I´m using a dummy account that only has access to the iCloud locations and can´t do anything like buying apps.
The log only said:

2019-03-13 16:56:33.162 [hingStatusInfoChangedEvent] - 'icloud:device:openHAB:iPMichael' changed from UNINITIALIZED (BRIDGE_UNINITIALIZED) to INITIALIZING
2019-03-13 16:56:33.233 [hingStatusInfoChangedEvent] - 'icloud:device:openHAB:iPMichael' changed from INITIALIZING to OFFLINE (CONFIGURATION_ERROR): The device is not included in the current account

Today i logged into the account and had a look at the find my iphone feature.
I could see every device that is connected to the family.
Back at the log and what do i see?

2019-03-13 17:01:35.369 [hingStatusInfoChangedEvent] - 'icloud:device:openHAB:iPMichael' changed from OFFLINE (CONFIGURATION_ERROR): The device is not included in the current account to ONLINE
2019-03-13 17:01:35.421 [vent.ItemStateChangedEvent] - iPMichael_LastUpdate changed from 2019-03-04T16:35:22.000+0100 to 2019-03-13T16:57:36.092+0100

So my iCloud binding was offline because i never really logged into my dummy account after creating it.

kind regards
Michael

My iCloud Binding stopped 2 days ago. Had to manually restart it myself.
event.log shows this:

2019-03-20 12:24:49.168 [DEBUG] [internal.handler.ICloudDeviceHandler] - initializeThing thing [icloud:device:0d051c7e:9abd6490]; bridge status: [ONLINE]

After this entry, the devices will be discovered, but not updated propery.
After restarting the binding with bundle:restart x it worked immediately. We’ll see how long

Yes I also has this bug long time ago. It suddenly stops after working for many-many days (usually more than a month) and it stops without a sign (everything is online, but it doesn’t update the device’s info).

I also had this problem. Maybe this helps to solve it:

It happened after running for several month. Then the problem occurred, for several hours. After restarting openhab it is gone.
