the issues start. According to the log, the bridge and all connected things go OFFLINE, then come back ONLINE - as expected. But they are actually not connected anymore. I can not control them via Openhab and if I switch them manually, the state is not updated in openhab. I can see their state changing in MQTT.fx.
The only fix is to stop openhab, clear the cache and start openhab again. If I do this while deleting the new thing from the file, all works as before. But if I leave the thing in the file, I still can not control any MQTT device and my items file seems to be ignored (e.g. thing names in sitemap, not item names).
Can anyone point me to where to start my troubleshooting?
I don’t see anything obviously wrong.
The log is from ~1 second, what was the change done to the Turklingle thing at the end and what happened afterwards?
Did you set a ( duplicated) MQTT clientID for the Turklingel device?
Context:
Working .things file without new item -> I put in the code for the new item and hit save -> log happens -> afterwards nothing happens until I manually perform an action or some other rule triggers anything.
But in regards to the MQTT things, no further action. But in regards to all my MQTT things, there is radio silence.
I just changed the MQTT clientID of the Turklingel ESP but with the same result. Actually, above behaviour occurs whether the Turklingel ESP is online or not…
Something is weird!
Are you sure the things are defined only by this file and notviaother files or PaperUI?
If such persists I would consider to stop openHAB and clean the cache!
