openHAB 3.0 Milestone 4 discussion

I am aware of this and you know what i meant by config tool. This can also be deduced from the screenshot. As i mentioned in the post, the point is that i can’t install OH3 M4 via openhabian-config.

If you @Bruce_Osborne don’t want to help me, then that’s fine with me.
Maybe there is someone who can and would like to help me, thank you!

I have exactly the same problem, do you found a solution?

Thanks in advanced.

No, unfortunately not yet, but i’m still trying to find a solution. If i manage to do it, i’ll let you know.

Sorry, but @Bruce_Osborne is wright, this is an openHABian issue, not an openHAB 3 Milestone 4 one, so not belonging here.

I think that what Bruce and Hans-Jörg are saying is not that we can’t help you on this forum. But your request is off topic for this thread and would be better seen and more likely to get help if it were posted as a separate thread.

Hi @johannesbonn, the following steps led to the solution:

  1. Download the image openhabian 1.6.1 (https://github.com/openhab/openhabian/releases), copy it to the SD card with Etcher and let the installation run through

  2. Access the Raspberry via SSH, run sudo openhabian-config and select the OH3 branch

  3. Install openHAB releated (40) -> Zulu 11 OpenJDK

  4. Then execute the following commands in the terminal:

wget -qO - 'https://bintray.com/user/downloadSubjectPublicKey?username=openhab' | sudo apt-key add -

sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https

echo 'deb https://openhab.jfrog.io/openhab/openhab-linuxpkg testing main' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openhab2.list

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install openhab

sudo / bin / systemctl daemon-reload

sudo / bin / systemctl enable openhab.service

(http://next.openhab.org/download/)

Restart and now it should work.
Hope it helps!

Thank you for your effort, but my post referred to the posting of @Erling with the min/maxValue configuration of the HomeKit temperature sensor.

Oh okay, i guess i misunderstood something :sweat_smile: But maybe it will help someone else.

Not when I specify items from the UI, but when I specify my temperature items in a text item file it works e.g.:

Number Garage_Min_Temp “Min” {homekit=“TemperatureSensor” [minValue=0, maxValue=100] }

I tried to recreate my sitemap with the Pages in the portal.
I encountered two validation issues.

I’m using labelcolour and visibility, both give an validation error and can’t be saved until I resolved the errors.

Another question, is it also possible to view the openhab log again? I can’t find this one.
I now only have the events log.

The issue Is known.

I usually watch the logs from the command line.
Either short-term via openhab-cli or long-term by accessing them directly.
They should be in /var/log/openhab.

Testing OH3 on Mac OS X/10.15.7 (x86_64) after watching the online presentation today.

Installed Deconz binding and added a color light as item. When I try to link a channel to an item there is a mix of languages in the Profiles section.

In the Brightness option I have a slider and can change the light.
In the ColorTemperature I set the option to color picker but I cannot change the color temperature shown on top. Clicking on the number just opens a history graph. What do I need to configure to get a color picker option?

Colorpicker to color channel. Colortemperature is only a Number.

A colortemperature light can‘t be used with a color picker because it does not support color, only brightness and color temperature.

Hi, I have probably found a small bug on little badges:
If I use the invert-text color (black) texts and bulbs are becoming black while temperature and drop icons are remain white

Got this, thanks @J-N-K . The deconz binding configured it as number from default (should have been dimmer, right?). I noticed that OH3 configures the same item (here a Philips color light) differently in hue and deConz bindings.

This is the configuration in hue binding:

And the same configuration settings in deConz binding (Notice color widget is missing)

Is there any further configuration requirements for the deconz binding?

Colortemperature is a number IMO. It‘s debatable whether it should be Number:Temperature as it‘s in Kelvin. Therefore it is a number in deconz.

Will have a look at the color issue: https://github.com/openhab/openhab-addons/pull/9257

Thanks for looking at the color issue. I did further testing with OH3 and Deconz binding.
Consumption, Power, Temperature and Illuminance are created correctly.

For humidity I encountered another problem. The item is defined as Number:Dimensionless
and the widget reports: “0,46 one” (expected value from OH2 would be: “46.0 %”).

Can not use swedish characters (åäö) in name when creating the model.

Name or label ?
If it is item or group name, I think this is normal behaviour. See the same with german „Umlauts“.
Since using openHAB, I avoid using special charakters apart from labels.
