I just installed openhab-cloud, connected via the cloud connector binding, along with the openhab-alexa skill via AWS Lambda and I have everything working, but I can’t seem to remove access to a device and I frankly don’t understand how this access control works in the first place.
Initially I selected only two items in the binding configuration which, after updating each device, did appear under items in openhab-cloud. The Alexa skill did not discover either item. I added a homekit [ “Lighting” ] tag to one of the items and it was discovered immediately and I am able to control it.
After getting this working, I de-selected all items from the binding but was still able to control it via Alexa. I then deleted all items from openhab-cloud but am still able to control these items. Finally, I removed the [ “Lighting” ] tag from the item and restarted everything but still I am able to control the device through Alexa. I also see no logging in the openhab-cloud/logs directory so I am just tailing out NGINX logs to see the rest commands coming in.
I suppose in order the questions I have are:
- What is the purpose of the binding item configuration and the items in openhab-cloud if the openhab-cloud server will control devices that are not exposed?
- How do I enable some debug logging to understand what is happening with openhab-cloud (e.g. authentication, access control, etc…)?
- How do I disable access to a device that was once enabled?
Thank you,
