openHAB 2.5.9 release discussion

Setup, Configuration and Use News & Important Changes
24

Hi everbody,

yesterday I had a strange issue.
My system is installed on RPI 3B+, running openhabian since years.
I updated my system on monday 21th september from 2.5.8 to 2.5.9.
The only change I’ve done afterwards, is deinstalling the “old” v1 version of the wol binding
and moving over my wake on lan items to network binding (2.5.9), as this is newly
supporting wol.

Everything work perfectly until yesterday evening (Fritday 25th september 22:38)

This occured:
Suddenly the rule engine stopped to worked. No rules has been executed anymore!
I received sensor values from all of my binding and I was able to switch
lights and sockets thru all my bindings manually (in sitemap)

I restartet OH and since then everything is working again.

The only error which was shown in openhab.log is:

2020-09-25 23:32:05.652 [WARN ] [mazonechocontrol.internal.Connection] - Parsing json failed
2020-09-25 23:32:05.675 [WARN ] [mazonechocontrol.internal.Connection] - Illegal json: {“playlists”:{“Andreas Gabalier”:[{“entryList”:null,“playlistId”:“cd99bd5d-b964-4301-82c7-e494d521ea48”,“title”:“Andreas Gabalier”,“trackCount”:19,“version”:“13”}],“Austropop”:[{“entryList”:null,“playlistId”:“ccc1f663-a103-4511-962a-a27de1f70507”,“title”:“Austropop”,“trackCount”:26,“version”:“27”}],“Austropop2”:[{“entryList”:null,“playlistId”:“8a2151fc-c722-445d-96be-1a8693cd06b6”,“title”:“Austropop2”,“trackCount”:1,“version”:“2”}],“EAV”:[{“entryList”:null,“playlistId”:“aa839d0a-2b31-4101-9800-7dee602b0afc”,“title”:“EAV”,“trackCount”:13,“version”:“14”}],“Meine Favoriten”:[{“entryList”:null,“playlistId”:“4f904480e45e456eb3c4309b69f40cb9”,“title”:“Meine Favoriten”,“trackCount”:0,“version”:“1:1008991531”}]}}

But this error there since 17th september (also in version 2.5.8). It’s hopefully fixed in 2.5.10 version of the binding:
This error is discussed in Release Candidate and Support: Amazon Echo Control Binding

Attached you can find openhablog in the timeslot 25th september 22:00:00 - 23:59:59
(cat /var/log/openhab2/openhab.log | grep "2020-09-25 2[23]:")

So I’m not quite sure if this was the root cause of the stopped rules engine!

As I’m running OH since years and I never had this issue, the question to all of you is, if someone else having this incident also?

What I’ll do next.

  1. Having an eye on this, if it comes up again
  2. IF so, I’ll restart OH and stop amazon echo control binding, and have a look further on.

I hope, that this was a “one time error”, but at the moment I’m not sure about this.

Regards

Helmar
