openHAB 2.1 is out!

[Thorhammer (Oliver K.)]

Hi Kai,

ok

[spy0r (Stefan)]

i upgraded my [manual] installation on my VM with my usual script (updating the paths to OH2.1) and everything seems to work flawlessly. Many thanks to Kai and all developers for this awesome work! I will donate a few bucks to the foundation.

Greetings,
Stef

Congratulations. What is the best method to update openHab from 2.0 to 2.1 on Synology ?

My openhabian installation is crashing after update/upgrade more information in

Openhabian installation crash after upgrade to 2.1 and after Linux upgrade

Hi, Yesterday I’ve made upgrade my openhabian to 2.1 using openhabian-config (I had openhab in 2.1 snapshoot) and after I’ve made upgrade linux also using openhabian-config. Process was smooth but when I restarted after few minutes I’ve got message on console “gpio mem device opened…” and system stoped and my display turned to black I’ve found information about https://github.com/openhab/openhabian/issues/147 but I think it is not this case. To be honest I do not understand info…

I’m not sure if it is related to 2.1 or linux upgrade.

My RFXtrx433E stopped working after I upgraded (from 2.0 stable) because the /etc/default/openhab2 file was overwritten. So I had to re-add “-Dgnu.io.rxtx.SerialPorts=/dev/ttyUSBrfxtrx” under EXTRA_JAVA_OPTS to get it to work again. (I had previously created a symlink for it: https://github.com/openhab/openhab1-addons/wiki/symlinks).

Perhaps it can help someone who has the same problem.

[greenoid (Frerk Meyer)]

Thanks to openhabian-config upgrading went very smooth.

I don’t need the z-wave binding SNAPSHOT anymore, because openhab2-addons contains the binding already.
Currrently I only have to add the Jeelink Binding.

My configuration of Paper UI survived the update.
Even the /etc/default/openhab2 configuration was kept.

Only the udev rules got deleted some how and I had to restore them.

All in all I’m courious what OH2.1 has to offer.

Unfortunately the homematic variables cannot be updated any more after upgrading to openhab 2.1! Even in the console smarthome:send varxxx REFRESH does not work any more! Only a complete stop&start of openhab service updates homematic variables once.

[chris_van_aalst]

Upgraded to 2.1 - (on ubuntu 14.04 lts) using:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

/etc/init.d/openhab2 status show that it is running

but accessing the webpage doesn’ t show anything (nor accessing via my App) (connection refused)
same problem with ssh openhab@localhost -p 8101 (connection refused)

I am not a Linux expert - but what am I missing - I have a Unifi NVR running on the same machine (:8443) and that one works still as it should after the upgrade ?

Can someone point me in direction where to look ?

thx

I am running Openhab1 with RFXcom, Zwave & Nikobus-bindings - and until today it was working without a glitch !

@chris_van_aalst

I am running Openhab1

If you are coming from openHAB version 1 you should follow the migration tutorial:

http://docs.openhab.org/tutorials/migration.html

[chris_van_aalst]

this is a typo - I am running Openhab2

[erland_lestander]

That sounds like what I experienced.
I gave up and went to sleep. - And all worked the next morning.
Do know what was wrong, what fixed it, if it will work for you.

I didn’t see any traces of OH starting in the log files , neither openhab nor events.

[Benjy (Ben Clark)]

@chris_van_aalst Try stopping openhab, clearing /var/lib/openhab2/cache and. `/var/lib/openhab2/tmp’ then starting the service.

edit: To those reading, only clear the folders, do not delete.

[chris_van_aalst]

Ben,

thanks ! this fixed the problem !

[christoph_wempe]

fyi:

When I delete the two folders Benjy mentioned, I hget this error in syslog.

Recreating the folder helps.
But maybe this should be handled by openhab, like it is for the cache folder.

@christoph_wempe

When I delete the two folders

Yeah, I did the same some time ago…
You can safely delete cache but you shouldn’t delete tmp because Karaf needs that.
I usually clear all the stuff within the 2 dirs but don’t remove them

@Kai

This is correct behaviour as Karaf won’t start if tmp directory does not exist, while cache will be automatically created by it, if not present.

@christoph_wempe

But maybe this should be handled by openhab, like it is for the cache folder.

Good idea !
