Hi everybody,
since I moved my installation to my new Raspi 4 I cannot connect the KNX bridge anymore. I did the following:
- Created a backup of the old configuration
- Stopped the old installation and removed the old Raspi 2
- Setup the new Raspi with the same static IP address as I had before
- Installed Openhab (2.4, same version as I had before)
- Restored the backup
It seems the whole configuration is there. Bindings are installed, items, rules, things,…
One problem I have is that my KNX bridge thing doesn’t connect anymore. I get the following error:
'knx:ip:bridge' changed from UNKNOWN to OFFLINE (COMMUNICATION_ERROR): server control endpoint is unresolved: 10.0.0.2 :3671
My KNX Gateway is on 10.0.0.2, I did not change anything to the KNX gateway. I can also ping the IP from my new Rapi. As said, also the Raspi itself uses the same IP as in the past, so I guess the KNX thing configuration should still work (as it worked before)
Has anyone an idea?
Thanks
Interesting, I found one problem in my knx thing configuration. I had a blank at the end of my ip address, so something like "10.0.0.2 ".
The strange thins is that I had the same config also on my old raspberry and it connected without any problems.
Ok, it is still not working, but the error has changed:
2019-07-12 19:13:51.681 [ERROR] [ip.KNXnet/IP Tunneling 10.0.0.2:3671] - establishing connection failed, timeout connecting to control endpoint /10.0.0.2:3671
I also tried to increase the timeout, no luck…
I am wondering what could cause that it worked on my old raspberry but doesn’t on my new…
Hm, took a wireshark session from both pies.
It seems that the old pie does the following to initiate the connection:
→ ConnStateReq
← ConnStateResp OK
→ Tunnel ConnectReq
← Tunnel ConnectResp
The new pi seems to directlly start with a tunnel request without a connection request before:
→ Tunnel ConnectReq
← Tunnel ConnectResp
The wireshark session shows that the ip gateway responds, but it seems the connection setup is not initiated correctly. Has anybody an idea about that?
Is there a firewall on your Pi? Try using telnet to connect to that ip address & port to see if it is reachable.
It could be a firewall or apparmor? on your Pi ( I am more familiar with RedHat that uses selinux) blocking access.
No, there should be no firewall. At least I checked iptables and it seems to be default with accept for everything.
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Also I would probably not see an incoming response for the “Tunnel ConnectReq”. Very strange…
Try telnet 10.0.0.2 3671 both as root & your openhab user. Note that the number after the space determines the port.
If you get an error, your server cannot reach that ip address & port with a TCP connection, for some reason.

Thanks, will try that…
I enabled some debugging and have the output from my old installation and from the new one:

I think I found the problem. I thought maybe the knx gateway detects that a different device from the same IP tries to connect and blocks this. After restarting the knx ip gateway it seems to work…

Glad you solved it. Even though I am not familiar with that bridge, common troubleshooting sometimes helps.
I just resolved an unusual problem today where my Pi would disappear off the network. The culprit turned out to be a bad network cable not making good contact on the router end. It would not lock into the port.
Yes, thanks a lot. You definitely guided me in the right direction.
Btw, the upgrade from a Raspberry Pi 2 to a Raspberry Pi 4 increased startup time from 10min to 3min (until fully started with cpu usage dropping from 100% to < 10%). Nice…
