    I tried to follow the status changes within the system (with frontail) but even that I increased the logging to debug I couldn´t find all changes. For example the changes for my audio players and amplifiers are not showing up. I seen always just the same updates, nothing else:

I was setting the log level to debug and I saw a lot more details on the system level but no information about what my “things” are doing. But as I set the log level to info again I saw the log as above. I don´t knwo how to proceed - any ideas out there?

Thanks Jan

Have you considered looking for Items?

I think I tried it, actually I have the following log active:

That´s how I set it up

Things are just available or not. Like a box is there,or not.

Something like a Player type Item should be reporting PLAY, PAUSE etc.

But I tried everything, I played songs, changed, stopped, switched my Russound on, zone on, off and these things - no change in the log visible, only the same two things, Fritzbox and Chromecast - really strange

Have you linked any Items to your Things channels?

I think that´s the problem, I was not linking it in person. I expected to have it available directly after setup. But then I wonder why my Fritzbox and the Chromecast are showing up without linking it from my side?!

Not all bindings populate channels if they are not linked to anything.

I made a test with a manually linked one and now I get at least a status back - thanks for your help, little step but huge impact - in my setup most of the bindings need a manual link
