MyOpenHab.org Issues - Server Always Offline

I am trying to set up with myopenhab.org with my OH2. I have ensured that I have the right UUID and secret, but myopenhab.org still says that my server is offline. I have exposed a single item and I am pointing to https://myopenhab.org, so that appears to be correct.

I have seen threads mentioning Java being the problem, but I am running Java 8 on a Pi, and this is the version that I have loaded:

java version "1.8.0"
Java™ SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0-b132)

I don’t see anything useful in openhab2.log, other than the following when I stop the openhab2 service:

[INFO ] [io.openhabcloud.internal.CloudClient] - Shutting down openHAB Cloud service connection

I am sure I am missing something easy, but I can’t seem to figure out what. I am a console novice so I am not sure if I should be able to use the console to tell why it is failing.

There is nothing like

[INFO ] [io.openhabcloud.internal.CloudClient] - Connected to the openHAB Cloud service (UUID = xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx, base URL = http://localhost:8080)

after start or restart in the log?

No, the INFO log is the only one I see. I also noticed that the same log entry is generated when I make changes to the Service in PaperUI. For exanmple, if I go add a new item to expose, I see the same log entry about “Shutting down the openHAB Cloud service connection”.

It makes me think that it isn’t able to connect, but I don’t see any messages that indicate that. I also ensured that I am able to reach myopenhab.org.

Do you get a result when you do

curl https://myopenhab.org

or an error message like

curl: (6) Could not resolve host: myopenhab.org

Curl connects fine and I get the myopenhab.org content.

Also, fwiw, I deleted the uuid and secret file and allowed OH to rebuild them, which it did (as expected) and those new values don’t change the behavior.

Seems like your openHAB Cloud Connector add-on is not running. Did you uninstall and reinstall it?

I did, but I am thinking of trying it again. When I look at bundle:list and the status in the console, it shows it is active, but obviously something is wrong. I will try removing it again and see if that helps.

I reinstalled with the same results. I set the logging to debug and captured the following, which I believe shows the error. It looks like I misunderstood the Java requirements, and I am running the wrong version after all. I am updating to 1.8.0_121 and expect it to work based on what I have seen elsewhere.

That was the issue. I didn’t understand how Java version numbering worked so I was using a version that wasn’t new enough.

Hi,
Maybe you need to install addons openhabcloud on Paper UI or you can configure this on addons.service file.

My java version is also 1.8.0_121. That’s why it worked. Nice to know
