Hi all,
I am a beginner, my house is using KNX and i am trying OH for supervision
I am running OH on macbook pro for testing
I have openHAB version: 2.2.0 installed which i start in terminal using the “./start.sh” command
I have OH running and can see ETS telegrams in the terminal
I am working on things, using a thing for each actuator i have in the electric cabinet…
I setup the first one and it works fine, shows up in PaperUI and basicUI, problem is when i added a second one, got error about missing handler and The bridge must not be null and must be initialized…
I understand that it’s telling me that the second actuator in line 36 is not ‘‘connected’’ to the bridge and that i have to add the bridge UID to fix the problem but i do not know the syntax…
Thanks for your help.
I have seen the same when you are working on a live OH 2.3 (not 2.2) system with KNX2. Editing the *.things file live will cause some NPEs. We should raise a github issue for this.
If you restart the OH2 service, these NPEs should go away.
Hi, thanks for your answer…
Got a lot of erros in the terminal window, here’s a copy:

and here’s the interesting part:

I think i have fixed it, by moving a “}” sign from after the first actuator to below the second one, does that make sense??
