Hi Volker,
thanks for the hint. I have now deleted the jar file from /usr/share/openhab2/addons/ but it seems that I’m somehow stuck in the shallow waters between PaperUI and manual installation. PaperUI still shows the Jeelink Binding as installed (version 2.2). For some reason it won’t uninstall when I try to do so im PaperUI. I have also tried to deinstall it with “bundle:uninstall” from the OpenHab console. That seemed to work, but after a restart of OpenHab, bundle:list" gives me that:
...
253 │ Active │ 80 │ 2.2.0 │ JeeLink Binding
And still my Jeelink Things remain in state “UNINITIALIZED”.
EDIT:
I was able to revert to a working state by stopping OpenHab, then moving the old 2.1 binding file back to /usr/share/openhab2/addons/ again and starting OpenHab. Now my Jeelink USB Thing shows as “ONLINE” and I’m able to receive data from the sensors.
From there I tried to switch to the new version of the binding following the steps in the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) “How can I reactivate the release version of an add-on?” but without success.
Even when I stop Openhab, remove the old jar file, start OpenHab again, PaperUI still shows the binding als “Installed”. When I try to use the deinstall button, nothing happens. The process-circle just keeps spinning.
EDIT2:
I was able to solve the issue: After removing the manually installed 2.1.0 binding as descibed in the FAQ, I had to remove the Thing for the USB Receiver too and create a new one for the new 2.2.0 binding. It seems that the new version does not pick up the Things from the older version automatically. After creating a new Thing for the USB Receiver with the new binding, I was able to reactivate the sensors by switching the Things to the new Bridge.
Many thanks,
Roland
