Hi, sorry if I misused your forum…in general I try to respect forum rules.
I don’t see why you think my question is a “Helpdesk” question - I do not ask for help, I just like to know whether the binding works anywhere with the icons and I have to check (myself) my installation…or whether it might be a general problem.
For my understanding the OpenHAB meteoblue binding is not commercial software.
As this binding is described on the official OpenHAB Addons Bindings page, I thought the focus of my question is enough OpenHAB to be asked in this forum … sorry if I’m wrong.
Yes, I have to admit that title, category and tag could be more precise.

@ere You are not the only one :wink: I did open an issue on github:

I think I may have just figured out why this isn’t working for you.
I’ve reopened the tracking ticket in case a change can be made.

Gentlemen, I successfully installed the meteoblue binding with the latest stable version of OH 2.4.0. I downloaded all images from meteoblue as instructed, renamed the png files to e.g. “day-1.png”, uploaded those 19 files from the png download to the openhab folder conf/icons/classic but still no image shown. What do I do wrong? There is simply no content.

Any hint?

… while the binding is expecting files like iday-3.png

Did not check, but could it be that iday instead of day should be used?

At least according documentation :slight_smile:

`Hi Andreas,

I was running today into exactly the same issue. I did an Debug logging and came to the same conclusion.

Then I edited the source add-on on gitub… (see below) . I think/believe the code has got a wrong hardcoded location “…/conf/icons/classic/”

Interestingly when I look at the /usr/share/openhab2/addons directory I dont see the addon-files. Does somebody know where I could quickly hardcode/change this .java file on my installation, or do we have to “re-compile” it ?

(you are not talking to a linux or java developer) so bare with my knowledge.

private Image loadImageIcon(String imageFileName) {
        BufferedImage buf = null;
        File dataFile = new File(new File("../conf/icons/classic/"), imageFileName);
        if (!dataFile.exists()) {
            logger.debug("Image file '{}' does not exist. Unable to create imageIcon.", dataFile.getAbsolutePath());
            return null;
        }

Thanks for an answer
