thanks!
Hi, I’m sorry but I can’t find any newer version than 1.3 with this url https://github.com/cdjackson/HABmin/releases/ , could you please let me know where I can find the newest version for the 1.8 Openhab?
0.1.3 is the latest version of HABmin1 - this works fine with 1.8.* or 1.9.* (the versions of HABmin and openHAB are not linked).
Thanks 
will try again
beautiful! thanks!
Thank you !
I’ve been searching for an solution to this problem for almost 2 hours.
your post fixed my problem
Hi,
Pulling hair out.
Getting the Offline errors when starting HABmin…
Installed openHabian using the Rasbian Image, which is I believe pretty much the apt-get install… I have then gone into the PaperUI and installed the UI, through the configuration/bingings/add-ons/User Interfaces menu…
That didnt work, and so I did a git clone of the HABmin and after a lot of reading copied the .jar files to the /usr/share/openhab2/addons/ folder, and created /usr/share/openhab2/webapps/habmin/ and put the rest of the clone, in there…
Still getting ‘Server Offline’ 
Can anyone help???
Or even how to remove everything so I can start again, but without losing what I have got by way of things/items and setup so far.
Kind regards
Jason
That setup is for openHAB1, so won’t work.
What did not work? It did not install? You could not launch HABmin? What did your openhab.log tell you?
