I am struggling my way in starting openhab. I run it on a windows 10 machine. OpenHAB 3.4.0
Now I added the network binding to get ping and arp for a couple of devices.
In the manual it says that for arping I have to use window: arp-ping.
I downloaded the arp-ping.exe en put it in the c:\OpenHAB directory.
In the network.cfg I made the line: binding.network:arpPingToolPath=C:\OpenHAB
But still on the thing property it says: * arp_state Unknown arping tool .
Can anyone help me: Where do I have to punt arp-ping.exe en how should I change network.cfg?
I do not use Windows to host OH thus my interpretation of the docs are more of theoretical nature …
As far as I read the docs you only need to make a configuration entry if the arpping differs from the default name.
Thus I would try following:
put the executable into a path that is known system wide ( on directory that is already part of the PATH environment variable )
if that does not work create a copy of the executable and name it arpping.exe instead of arp-ping.exe
if that does not work just put the name of the executable into the cfg file
as last resort if would also put the pathname into the file
as far as I understand the doc the path including the file name needs to be entered not just the name
I have not looked into the code could be that / instead of \ need to be used
