I have the LG ThinQ Binding 5.01 installed with OH 5.01 (Windows) which I would like to connect with an LG dryer. The LG Gateway is working and ON

LINE. But after I added the dryer it gives me an error (HANDLER_INITIALIZING_ERROR - URI is not absolute) In detail:

[ERROR] [core.thing.internal.ThingManagerImpl] - Exception occurred while initializing handler of thing ‘lgthinq:dryer-202:1cc43d8bd8’: URI is not absolute

This error is not limited to the dryer, I see the same with our washer…

This problem seams to be related to the discovery process. For some reason, the properties of your device can’t found in the LG API. I can’t reproduce in my lab and maybe need you some help to reproduce.

I’m preparing a version of the binding with some more debug information to confirm this suspect, and send to you to get more information. Is it ok to you ?

@nemer Do you have already a (new) binding for some more debug information ready?

Thanks
