Adding. I have updated my Raspberry PI instance to 2.5.7 with the latest Zulu 8 32bit Java. And the PI instance doesn’t seem to have this issue.

I have tried manually installing on Debian 10 and Ubuntu 20. Both are using the same version of OpenHAB and Java.

I still get the above error for all my MIOS Items.

Any input guys? Do I need to add more info?

Turned debugging on for the MIOS binding. updated log entry below:

Still nothing?

Tried rebooting Vera? Any changes to Vera?

Thanks for the reply Greg, Vera hasn’t changed as far as I am aware. I have narrowed down the problem and have a solution which I will outline below.

OK everyone, I finally have narrowed down what is causing the issue. I have a work around at present, but would be interested in what people think should be the longer term solution.

My current environment:

  • OpenHAB running on a PI
  • Visual Studio Code with OpenHAB 0.7.0 and openHAB Alignment Tool 2.0.8

Environment I have been testing:

  • OpenHAB on Debian / Ubuntu (trialling both)

Observations

  • Both instances running the same Java JDK
  • Same config files
  • Same bindings
  • Everything the same!

Issues

  • MIOS Binding throwing the above errors
  • All other bindings behaving

Solution / Workaround

  • I tracked down the issue to the MIOS Binding having issues with the “thing” eg. {mios=“unit:homeVera, device:1/id”}
  • The issue was in the MiosBindingProviderImpl.java file
  • Line of code being matcher = IN_CONFIG_PATTERN.matcher(inThing);
  • Current MIOS Binding doesn’t handle a space between unit and device.
  • This doesn’t cause an issue on the PI, but breaks the Ubuntu and Debian versions
  • Removing the space fixes the issue.
  • The MIOS Item Generator doesn’t output the thing definition with a space.
  • the Visual Code OpenHAB Alignment plugin adds the space.

Final thoughts

  • Is this actually an issue? does MIOS Binding need to handle the space?
  • Does the Visual Code Alignment tool need updating as to not add the space?

In any case, I have a way forward at the moment, but interested to hear everyone’s thoughts.
