Myopenhab.org items not showing

Hi folks,
I tried many things since a fresh installed openhabian image, but are not able to get my items displayed under Myopenhab.org… all I see that my device is online, but no item show no matter how often i change status.

https://myopenhab.org/rest/items Shows these exposed items that I have enabled via GUI and also others items via .item File to try both ways. But both have the same effect. :frowning:

Do I need a sitemap? or anything else like special ports?

  1. Why do you want to expose these Items? The only reason to do so is for IFTTT. If you are not using IFTTT, don’t expose Items.

  2. If you search the forum, you will see that exposing Item through myopenhab.org is turned off. Too many people expose all their Items and don’t even use IFTTT and the server can’t keep up pending figuring out a fix.

I need this so Google Home sees them

No no no no no! No you don’t! This is why they had to turn it off.

From the docs right under Requirements:

Items DO NOT need to be exposed to and will not show up on myopenHAB.org, this is only needed for the IFTTT service!

Please go back and read the docs. Exposing Items through the Cloud Connector has never been required for Google Assistant nor Alexa integration. That is done through tags or metadata, as documented.

Hi rlkoshak, I have many clients who want to use openHAB and is an excellent market penetration to get adoption going in my country. I am however, saddened to see exposure of items for IFTTT still disabled by myopenhab cloud now for what seems to be over half a year now. Is openHAB foundation planning to re-enable this feature ever or not ?

Donate donate to openHAB foundation that is who runs the free cloud service.

Or setup your own cloud service and point your clients at it!

All I can recommend is to comment on the Issue in github.

I tried to get Google Home to oauth connect to myopenhab and got an error. Isn’t that the new recommended method to get items exposed to google home?

After about 4 tries, openhab got connected to google home.

Someone else mentioned that they couldn’t get Google Assistant to connect to openHAB. I suspect that it’s a problem on Google’s end, as I’ve sometimes found the same thing with other services.
