Hi,

is there anybody out there working on the Souliss binding to move it to a OH2 version?

I just created a complete new installation with the OH2.1 snapshot  
There are a few issues I which did not dissapear:

Some not to Souliss related functions (Yamaha receiver binding or using a setpoint slider) result in a NullPointer Exception:

```auto
2017-02-05 14:59:08.944 [WARN] [org.apache.karaf.services.eventadmin] - EventAdmin: Exception during event dispatch [org.osgi.service.event.Event [topic=openhab/command/LightDuration] {bridgemarker=true, item=LightDuration, command=2} | {org.osgi.service.event.EventHandler, org.osgi.service.cm.ManagedService}={event.topics=openhab/*, service.pid=org.openhab.souliss, component.name=org.openhab.binding.souliss, component.id=160, service.id=294, service.bundleid=185, service.scope=bundle} | Bundle(org.openhab.binding.souliss_1.10.0.201702040211 [185])]

	at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)[:1.8.0_111]

```

So there seems to be some “crosstalk” to the souliss binding, whatever happens there.

Also Typical T51 for analog read seems not to work at all.

So it would be really nice, if there is sombody who could take a look to these issues.

Is there anybody who can work on the Souliss binding?  
Or am I riding here a dead horse? ☹

I noticed the same problem with the mqtt and souliss.  
This is what warning i get when i try to turn on a light over my mqtt configuration

```auto

Clearly a bug in that binding. The first obvious step would be to create a bug report.  
And yes, 6 days ago, one has been created: [[souliss] NullPointerException in receiveCommand · Issue #5369 · openhab/openhab1-addons · GitHub](https://github.com/openhab/openhab1-addons/issues/5369)  
And a few minutes later, there was a fix for it: [[souliss] Fixes NPE in souliss binding by rymdbullen · Pull Request #5370 · openhab/openhab1-addons · GitHub](https://github.com/openhab/openhab1-addons/pull/5370)

Should be available in the next distro build 🙂

Beta 2.0 Souliss binding is available on souliss-it forum.  
Still a raw beta but works better than the 1.0 one and has the autodiscover function which improve quite a bit the setting of a large net of souliss devices.
