I’m new to OpenHab, not sure if I’m doing something wrong but hoping someone can shed some light on this issue
I’m trying to include a GoControl GD00Z-8-GC garage door opener. The device has 2 channels, both of which are read only. I tried to update OH to 2.5.11, but I still can’t seem to control the device. I have included the device’s XML file below - is there anything I can try to be able to control this node? Thank you!
That is a battery device, wake it up several times until an xml file in your userdata/zwave folder is created.
Then create a Thing and link your Channels to Items.
I don’t know what that is, but it is not an xml …
Please, next time you post some code please use code fences:
OK that device is in the database but quite new. In fact I think the newest changes have not yet been exported for a binding snapshot. 2.5.11 should have some version of that device though.
After updating to 2.5.11 did you delete & rediscover / re-add the Thing? That is needed to get the new binding settings.
I just tried to delete the Thing and re add in Paper UI, the only two channels I see are: Alarm (burglar) and Alarm (access). They come up as switches but they don’t seem to do anything after linking the channels.
I think I’ll hang tight for the next update, hopefully that version has the latest changes for this device!! I really appreciate your help with this one
Ah… awesome! Stupid question (sorry very new to all this). If the binding author exports prior to 2.5.12 coming out… would I be able to update the binding only? If so, are there instructions on how to do that for a windows server?
You can update just the binding. For Linux users there is a scrip but basically you uninstall the binding and place the new binding .jar file in the addons folder and openHAB will use that.
Of course you then need to delete & re-add the Thing. It keeps the same ID so no rules or Items are broken.
