Hello.

The THING-Syntax is change.

old: Thing network:device:XXXXXX [ hostname=“XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX”,port=0, retry=1, timeout=2000, refresh_interval=5000, use_system_ping=“false”, dhcplisten=“false”]

new: Thing network:pingdevice:XXXXXX [ hostname=“XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX”]

Doku

Bad the new Binding has no funktion.

I’ve added the thing via the PaperUI

and hi works?

No, since I have not changed anything yet.
I just wanted to tell you that I did not configure the things and items manually, but via the PaperUI

Note, you need to be on a very recent SNAPSHOT for those changes to be in effect.

And it isn’t that the binding has lost functions. Some of the functions have moved to a binding config file rather than needing to be part of the Thing definition.

I almost always use the latest snapshot version

Same issue here… :frowning:

Hello @mAr86sEb05,
next time I’d recommend to describe your error better, give your openHAB and binding version, maybe add the right tags or mentionings.

Anyhow, I had the same issue and posted it here: iPhone Presence Detection with hping3 and ARP

Seems like a solution is on its way.

since the last update it works again.
thanks
