User erik for the VNC, which is the same user as I use for the SSH connection.
Yep.
Maybe, but why then? It works when I run it as user openhab in the CLI. (Although not when SSH’ing as erik and then using sudo su -s /bin/bash openhab, only when VNC’ing as erik and then using sudo su -s /bin/bash openhab in the CLI…)
Some more testing:

testing python script
test.py contains one line: testing python script.
But from a rule:
var testscript = 'var/lib/openhab/bin/python/tado-manual-control/test.py';
function statusBewonersAanpassen(thuis) {
console.log(thuis);
console.log(typeof thuis);
var status = thuis == "ON" ? 'True' : 'False';
console.log(status);
console.log(typeof status);
//var command = [pythoninvenv, pythonscript, 'set_home_state', '-s', status];
var command = [pythoninvenv, testscript];
callPython(command);
}
function callPython(command) {
var pythonOutput = actions.Exec.executeCommandLine(time.Duration.ofSeconds(15), command);
console.log("python output = "+pythonOutput);
}
Output:

Should openHAB be restarted after changing something to the files in /var/lib/openhab/bin/ or something like that? (I’ll try that tomorrow - should have been a default troubleshoot action, I suppose.)
EDIT:
Aargh… I forgot the leading slash.
Anyway: the actual script I want to run, keeps refusing to work:

I found the bug: the python script was searching for a file for which it had the relative path, but that doesn’t work. I changed it to the absolute path, and now it works.
And then I realized, I had already battled this issue and found the solutions many months ago. I now thought of writing it down somewhere, only to find I had already written it down back then. Terrible job by me.
