    • Hardware: Raspberry Pi 4 with 4GB RAM
    • OS: openHABian Image

Hello,

because I’m used to openHAB 3 I’m trying to get this version installed on a Rapsberry Pi 4.
I’m using the image for 32 Bit found here (1st link):

I’ve changed the config.txt to disable audio and some other things.
Also I’ve changed openhabian.conf:
username and password and most important:
clonebranch=openhab3

According to the guide GitHub - openhab/openhabian: openHABian - empowering the smart home, for Raspberry Pi and Debian systems this should install the previous version of openHAB.

After the initial boot and some waiting I see the following:

  1. I need to use the default user name, the one from config.txt is not valid
  2. audio etc. is not disabled
  3. openHAB 4 is running

It seems that all the settings made in the respective configuration files are ignored. What have I missed? How can I install the latest openHABian with openHAB 3 on my Raspberry Pi?

Thank you for your help and support!

Cheers
Markus

Use the latest release and don’t mess with config.txt or other HW / OS settings.

Sorry, my question was not right. I meant how I could install the latest version of openHABian with openHAB 3. I will correct this in my initial post.

The answer will be the same.

Thanks. I will give it a try.
At what point of the installation can I choose to use openHAB 3 then?

same as with the other image

Thanks for your reply. But I still don’t get it.
Using the configuration tool openhabian-config I can change some system settings and choose the branch of openHAB (e.g. release). But I don’t find where to choose openHAB 3.
I could not find official documentation about this but maybe I didn’t use the right search words and I missed it.

It’s a different image and reported to work.

Now it finally worked using the suggested image:
https://github.com/openhab/openhabian/releases/tag/v1.9

In the configuration file openhabian.conf I made this change:
clonebranch=openHAB3

Now openHAB 3 is running and I’m happy!
