Hi guys, I very new openHAB user (actually, since today) but immediately got stuck with extremely annoying and strange bug. I know, you aren’t openHAB devs and not related to this bug but might be someone know solution (my only hope).
My only task is integration of all my X10 lamps & switches with Google Home/Assistant. I failed with “ha-bridge” (they can’t work anymore with Google services and of course nobody cares, at all), and looks like openHAB is the only one alternative for now (at least. If not - please let me know!). By the way, my good old RPi works pretty fine for decades, last time I upgraded Raspbian to Wheezy seven years ago and never touched/upgraded RPi OS since 2013. My X10 works pretty fine with tiny, old fashioned static html page (but nice looking - and no java/shmava, no containers/shmanteiners, no docker/shmoker - good old HTML with simple and understandable javascript, and Apache!), same as some other good nice programs and services.
So, my initial setup (I completed step by step from this guide passed flawlessly, and I got openHAB up & running, as it supposed to be. But Google integration wasn’t easy because of incomplete or wrong manual, I got stuck with UUID and secret (there was no files at /var/lib/openhab2) and I decided to try official “helper” called openHABian (because of “A home automation enthusiast doesn’t have to be a Linux enthusiast!”). That step was my biggest mistake - after applying “improvements” (in hope what missing files will be re-created or so), openHAB stopped working completely
After that I tried everything: completely removed and reinstalled openHAB, and java (Oracle one), nothing helps. Actually, openHAB is not running (nothing is listening openHAB ports) but no error log generated. It looks like the issue with openHAB container but I don’t know how to resolve it I’m software engineer but far away from the modern web toys.
But the most annoying part - for the God sake, why this… doesn’t work anymore, even after purging and reinstalling everything? Do you know, how to fix, or, at least, tell me, why I can’t revert this back? I do have RPi sd-card image but it’s too old (I made it before installing wheezy), and it’s 32 Gb. I definitely don’t wanna reflash my good old RPi - better I spit on this “openBUG”
