Hello community,
I am facing a strange issue, I wanted to install a new binding (modbus) and just realized that my Addons-Section in the menu is completely gone:
I tried in different browsers, different clients, empty cache etc. but still empty. Also reboot did not help.
If I go the way via things (Things, New, install more bindings) I get “No addons available”.
Any idea where I can start searching what is wrong?
There is a setting under Settings for Addon-Management.
Choose whether to download add-ons when they are installed or use a locally stored collection of all the add-ons.
I am not sure if such happens if the Access Remote Repository is switched to off with no addons stored locally.
Where do I find this setting?
What I tried in the meantime, I edited the file “addons.config” found unter userdata/config/org/openhab and added modbus:
:org.apache.felix.configadmin.revision:=L"14"
action="telegram,mail"
binding="network,astro,systeminfo,exec,zwave,openweathermap,mqtt,tradfri,shelly,smartmeter,weathercompany,ipcamera,telegram,http,modbus"
legacy="true"
misc="openhabcloud"
package="standard"
persistence="influxdb,mapdb,jdbc-mysql"
remote="true"
service.pid="org.openhab.addons"
transformation="map,scale,exec,javascript,regex,jsonpath"
ui="basic,habpanel"
But this did neither install modbus nor bring back the addon-settings in UI.
MainUI Settings, second Column System Settings
Hmm, are you sure we talk about OH3? There is no such setting in OH3.
But I found out something else, I started my backup-Pi which runs a backup about two weeks old, on this Pi the missing section is available. The Menu entry “addon management” on the right is also missing on the production Pi.
At least I know I have a working backup I could use, but it would be cool to know what went wrong…
I think there is already an issue opened for this.
Yes I found it:
“Symptoms” are like in my case, I also did not touch Openhab itself since last backup on 18th where it is still working.
BTW cleaning the cache helped, now I can see addons-section again.
Thank you! I had the same problem and cleaning the cache works for me too.
