Dear digitaldan,
I am just curious if you already find a possible solution for solving the problem with the item states?
Best Greetings

+1. Really looking forward to being able to re-add my items to myopenhab. I spent a lot of time yesterday trying to figure out what I was doing wrong… At least I’m glad to know I wasn’t just missing something. Thanks!

Having the same issue. Just looking to add myself to this thread…
Same here!
I have a possible solution i am testing now, since this happens under load I want to introduce this slowly into the cluster so i want to plan this carefully. Also i’m Traveling a lot this month for work and I’m not able to dedicate as much time as i would like.
I agree this is an awesome feature, and would love if amazon implemented local control as well, but Google and Alexa do not add any noticeable load to the system, the item and event updates seem to be the big issue and are only used for IFTTT, not for anything else, which i don’t think is very clear to people (and i can see why, its very confusing in retrospect )

I add myself to follow the discussion, because I believe my problem is connected. I noticed, exposing a new article for IFTTT, that myopenhab.org no longer updates the items (my last update is July 26th) and consequently they are not seen by IFTTT to create the rule … right ?
Yes, that’s correct. There have been no updates to anyone’s items on myopenhab.org since Friday, July 26. You can continue to send commands from IFTTT to any items that were previously exposed, but their states won’t change in your myopenhab.org item list and you can’t add new ones right now.
Hey @rpwong I don’t know who is in charge of myopenhab.org but could you please show a short notification/message/banner about the current issue on the site may be on the Item page or everywhere. So people know about it that would be incredibly awesome.
Yesterday I spend over 3 hours trying to fix it (including deleting all items I had already had connected), thinking the problem is on my site. before I finally found this thread here.
Would be Helpfull for other 
Thx

I agree i also spent lots of hours checking forums and making changes until i get to this threat! Let hope the issue will get fixed!
@GordanTrevis I’m not a moderator, so I wouldn’t be able to make such a post (you’ve actually been a community member longer than I have). 
A notification/message/banner is great in theory, but where would we begin and end? This specific issue affects you, but it doesn’t affect other users. Meanwhile, those others are affected by issues that don’t concern you, since you’re not affected. Who decides what’s important enough to become a banner?
This isn’t to say that we shouldn’t have some way of sending notifications to community members, but that it should be addressed strategically, not reactively. That’s just my opinion as a communications professional.
@yortiz1979 I think @digitaldan’s last message said all that can be said, and we’ll have to patiently await the results of his tests when he can fit them into his schedule. Alternatively, you can try this:

Thanks for your feedback
I had no idea setting up your own myopenhab cloud server was an option! I’m all back up and running! Thank you for sharing that post!

Is there a way to manually add the items? (instead of triggering them to make them appear)
I seem to be experiencing the same thing. I’ve added items in Paper UI and changed state and all sorts, but nothing will appear in myopenhab items list. I installed the cloud connector just a few days ago. Dashboard works fine, but no items 
Here’s what I observe:
- OpenHAB (itself - localhost:8080) sees all my Z-Wave devices properly
- Alexa App works perfectly (controlling my Smart Life and OpenHAB devices).
- IFTTT can control my Smart Life devices
- myopenhab (cloud) doesn’t show Items
- IFTTT can’t see “exposed” devices (presumably related to #3, above)
- OpenHAB (iPhone app) displays sitemap and CAN control OpenHAB devices.

IFTTT integration and adding items to MyOpenHAB has been shut down due to server load. It is a known issue but currently needed to stop the server from becoming overloaded and unavailable.

This can surely not be the end of this issue. Some of us have spent years building OpenHAB systems, HABPanels and hacking technology together to make our homes function the way we want. IFTTT has always been a way to overcome some of the many shortcomings of OpenHAB. Now this option has been taken away. Please OpenHAB gods, find a solution as I for one am not willing to live without IFTTT and I’m also not willing to do all this work on another system and start from scratch.

You are free to setup your own cloud instance and connect it to IFTTT. Searching this community gives you informations on how to do so.

Hi,
I understand, but isn’t it possible to switch to a service with a little fee? Please, many of us are not able to do the installation of this service.
Why is it not published of the myopenhab website? I was searching a day for a bug in my settings…
Please keep us informed - on the myopenhab Website.
