openHAB 2.3 has been released!

Thanks to you, Kai and all the other contributors.
I am really happy with my home automation based on OH and it wouldn’t have been possible without your „simplification“

Thanks a lot!

thanks for the update.
one question. did the update but just to find my temp an humidity on mqtt is not functioning any more. all the rest are working. http commands also fine.checked mqtt all msg are coming trough wat can I look at.

There was a breaking json transformation change, so if you use json encoded messages you might be affected by that.

The change was to discard any result which is not a simple value.

no clean items:

Number   Bathroom_Temperature   "Temperature [%.1fC]"   <temperature>   (Bathroom)      {mqtt="<[flatcntr:/TempCNTR/Bathroom/Temperature:state:default]"}
Number   Bathroom_Humidity      "Humidity[%.1f%%]"      <humidity>      (Bathroom)         {mqtt="<[flatcntr:/TempCNTR/Bathroom/Humidity:state:default]"}

i update my rpi3 openhab 2.2 and i got these errors can anyone help?

remove wifiled binding

try to remove it from console and i get Error executing command: No matching bundles

Do a bundle:list to see if it is installed at all.
Also check your addons folder it you did install it manually …

I had the same issue, for me it helped to remove it from addons.cfg as mentioned in the thread linked by @Dim

Anyone who encounters error messages when using VSE as well?

[Error - 12:01:22] Connection to server is erroring. Shutting down server.

still not getting mqtt messages ?

Had the same problem, but remembered that me and others previously have had problems with the mqtt action interfering in some way. When I uninstalled it (had it installed via paperui) the mqtt binding immediately started to work. Then I could reinstall the mqtt action.

got it working thank you

Where did you find this information?
I did not see this in the Release notes.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,

just posting my “update-experience” to v2.3.
Using a Raspi (2 Model B rev 1.1) with openhabian and not knowing there was an openhabian update,
I executed an “sudo apt-get update & upgrade” yesterday with a succeding “sudo reboot”.
In the process I kept my old config files, when asked if I wanted to replace them with the “updated” ones.
Afterwards openhab2 was runnning, but PaperUI, Android and iOS App would show nothing. The log viewer stopped with the timestamp of the update and would not show anything “new”. Neither did the log files accessed through ssh on the Raspi.
Reading about the new release and this thread helped me out.
First i tried the “openhabian-config” update and repeated the “release update”, this did not help.
Then I looked for “wifiled” - not installed in the first time.
And finally the problem solver for me:

tlc posted:

After it I could reach PaperUI, etc. again.

I noticed that my FritzDect 200 (switchable wall socket with temperature and usage) has problems with the new “unit” conversion. PaperUI screenshot below.

Entry in the logs:
2018-05-31 09:20:17.151 [WARN ] [ui.internal.items.ItemUIRegistryImpl] - Exception while formatting value ‘27.5’ of item FD_temp with format ‘%.1f %unit%’: Conversion = ‘u’

default.item:
Number FD_temp “FritzDect200_Temp” (gFD, gSmartPlug_others) { channel=“avmfritz:FRITZ_DECT_200:192___*:087610369753:temperature” }

Is there anything I can do to correct this or is this a “Binding” problem.

Thanks for further information.

Lots of Greetings
Eckart

I did run into it in a snapshot earlier this year. It was a unintended feature at first, so the transformation was just aligned with the documentation.

Hi Eckart,

Please change your item configuration according to the docs. You have to use e.g. Number:Temperature. I am pretty sure that will solve your problem.

Ok, so here is my expereince on this update.
I updated through apt-get upgrade, and all went well until I got the webpage saying that it was installing the UI, and that it would take a few minutes.
5 hours later I still get the same message, so I rebooted, but I would still get the same message.
After searching a bit I found that I needed to run the following:

This changed everything; now I get absolutely nothing. No web interface, no Karaf, nothing.

The service is running but it shows nothing in terms of webpages, and the logs are empty with nothing happening in there.

What should I do? Backup my configuration, remove the broken installation, and re-install? or is there a way to get the openHAB heart to beat again?

Thanks

Well well, I have got it to work again by downgrading to 2.2.0 with the following commands (in case anyone else come across this problem)

apt-get -y install openhab2=2.2.0-1 
apt-get -y install openhab2-addons=2.2.0-1 

now it is all back to how it was before the world started to crumble.
I will next try again the upgrade assuming that something might have gone wrong the first time.

Worst of cases I will revert and hope for a patch (assuming there is a bug).

careful! these 2 commands will also remove the subdirectories themselves (you do not want that)

To clear cache & tmp you need to remove the contents from within these 2 dirs

rm -fr /var/lib/openhab2/cache/*
rm -fr /var/lib/openhab2/tmp/*

in general: be very careful with rm -rf :slight_smile:

Try to upgrade again to OH 2.3, get some logs and open up a new thread to troubleshoot it. For sure it will work !
