No events from Astro binding

plysdyret · March 1, 2025, 12:06pm

Podman running openhab:latest. I used to have astro stuff and rules configured in files but it stopped working for some reason after I migrated bare-metal to container so now trying to do it strictly from the UI and failing.

Deleted all things and binding from files and uninstalled binding
Re-installed binding and configured coordinates
Sun and Moon things were discovered and added as things. Channels are populated

Log level for the binding set to debug

It seems to have installed just fine and it initializes on restart but I am seeing nothing in the event log after initialization:

2025-03-01 07:44:18.118 [INFO ] [ab.event.ThingStatusInfoChangedEvent] - Thing 'astro:moon:local' changed from UNINITIALIZED (NOT_YET_READY) to INITIALIZING

I’ve tried to create a simple test rule and it doesn’t fire either:

I must be missing something obvious since I can’t seem to find others posts with these symptoms but what? I’ve done everything via the UI.

So there should have been a noon event at 1225 right? But it is not in the event log.

If there’s nothing listening for it there won’t be an event. Your rule listens for civlDawn and rise so I would only expect to see those two events anywhere.

And I’m not sure that Thing event channel events get logged to events.log by default so you might not even see them at all unless you change the lower level of openhab.events.ChsnnelEvent (if I recall correctly). It might be possible channel events don’t go on the event bus at all.

The events are scheduled at the same time as the Items are updated. If you link a state channel to an item, does the Item get a state or dues it remain NULL?

I removed the LogReader binding and restarted openhab because I found an old ticket where that binding interfered so that may or may not have helped:

It still didn’t trigger my real rules but atleast I got something in the log to work with. I then created a couple items as you suggested and they do get a time stamp so hopefully all good now.

Thanks.

The Item trigger would never work as written anyway. An Item linked to one of the State Channels must be a DateTime Item and about ten seconds after midnight (or when OH first starts) the time of that event gets posted as an update to that Item.

This Item will never “updated to START”. It’s either going to be NULL or it’s going to be a DateTime.

If you want to try to trigger this rule using the State Item instead of the Channel Event Trigger, use the “time is Item” rule trigger with that tem.

Note, screen shots are next to useless. When seeking help always click on the code tab and post the code you find there instead of screen shots.

Yes unless for some reason there wasn’t a civil dawn. Some solar events don’t occur or don’t occur in expected ways if you are too far north. I don’t know if this is one of them or not.

You can try getting rid of the “START” so it triggers on any event. You can log out the triggered event and see if maybe something is going wrong there.

plysdyret · March 3, 2025, 4:37pm

How do I log out the triggered event?

This was scheduled when I restarted openhab this morning:

And I have this rule which should then trigger in 20 minutes (EDIT: it didn’t)

There should have been a civil dawn this morning:

plysdyret · March 3, 2025, 5:56pm

Thanks, I’ll add that.

But it is unlikely to help much since the event apparently never triggers? I did remove the START condition and still no dice, even though it is scheduled.

rlkoshak · March 3, 2025, 6:01pm

I’m not sure where else to go from here. Astro is one of the most used bindings and no one else is reporting problems.

Do all the times you see on the system and the logs and the UI seem to match your timezone?

You can work around the problem by using the Items and time is Item trigger instead of the event trgger.

You can try to file an issue but I’m not sure where the problem lies. The add-on? Core? MainUI?

plysdyret · March 3, 2025, 6:12pm

Yes, that is odd. I am running a container now but all my configuration was born in a VM and is mainly file based so perhaps some mismatch or residue left over is causing the problem.

Yes, I got them all in sync a few days ago, with the java environment variable and whatnot.

Thanks, I guess I’ll look into that instead.

JustinG · March 3, 2025, 6:43pm

There are now profiles that allow you to link an item to a trigger channel:

You can try using one of those to create a test item and see if the item is getting appropriate updates which might help narrow down where the issue is.

rlkoshak · March 3, 2025, 6:54pm

I can’t imagine anything related to that that would cause this problem.

plysdyret · March 3, 2025, 7:17pm

Could I perhaps be missing a binding or something else installable to bind it all together? Bindigs had to be reinstalled after I migrated so I could have missed something.

rlkoshak · March 3, 2025, 7:18pm

Astro stands alone. It has not dependencies.

plysdyret · March 3, 2025, 7:21pm

Do I need to install something to get those trigger profiles? I only seem to have these:

JustinG · March 3, 2025, 7:24pm

That channel at the top is not one of the trigger channels, that’s a regular DateTime item channel.

To see the trigger channel profiles you need to select Add Link to Item from one of the channels that specifically says (trigger) after it:

plysdyret · March 3, 2025, 7:30pm

Of course, thanks. I think I got it now:
