I disabled a rule that sent a MQTT message at this time which errored last weeks (because I thought this might cause the issue):
Rule 'Transmit IR Signal': 'publishMQTT' is not a member of 'org.eclipse.smarthome.core.thing.binding.ThingActions'
and it didn’t happen again since last reboot.
I now re-enabled that rule and triggered it again - and this time it worked again. Despite not working last times I tried to fix it with restart… weird.
Anyways, it’s time to migrate to openHAB 3, hopefully this issue won’t come up again.
Weird…
Yes I have some automation running when my computer is on (turn lights on, turn speakers on) but it’s all just an “on change” event once the status (ping response) of my computer changes.
I know nothing special my computer could do - Grafana and InfluxDB run on a different server, only frontail (for viewing the logs) is on the same machine and runs in background on my computer
… I finally found it digging into my network traffic. Problem was caused by Visual Studio Code OpenHAB Addon - as soon as I close Visual Studio Code, everything everntually goes back to normal.
I will post more details soon.
I’m not yet sure what caused this - maybe putting my computer to hibernation or letting Visual Studio Code run (too) long might be an issue. At least I now know what to do when it happens.
