openHAB 4.2 Release Discussion

BigGeorgeTx · September 30, 2024, 10:16pm

After upgrading from 4.2.1-1 to 4.2.2-1, I noticed that the smarthome/j binds I use (Tuya and AmazonEcho) were missing, as was one that I had in the addons folder (org.openhab.binding.weatherflowsmartweather-4.2.0).

I think this is a good thing, because:

one needed to remember to delete and re-add 3rd party bindings after an upgrade, and by deleting them, it forces you do do it, and
I had some issues migrating to openHABian 1.9 / OH 4.2.1 where .jar files in the addons folder messed up the loading of other bindings, such that I had to manually install them all. By deleting the .jar files in the addons folder, this won’t happen.

After reinstalling the above, everything appears to be working as expected.

Hi, I updated yesterday from 4.1.0. to 4.2.2-1 and I have questions about two things…

first. The Thingstatus stays online if openhab tries to connect to the device.
I use some rules to enable, disable things if there are offline, like my modbus inverter.
and every try to connect to an offline shelly switches status from offline to online to offline.
Is that the intention?

second. everytime I start openhab I see in the log:

Hallo
I upgraded to 4.2.2 and now “Netatmo bridge 99% offline” is n back.

wborn · October 6, 2024, 4:16pm

It uses the community topic ID for the number:

lsiepel · October 6, 2024, 5:18pm

Unfortunately true, but it is also fixed here [netatmo] Avoid endless loop when Security claims event history by clinique · Pull Request #17484 · openhab/openhab-addons · GitHub that will be available in the upcoming 4.3.0 milestone 2.

DrRSatzteil · October 6, 2024, 5:23pm

I haven’t read anything about the stepper controls in Main UI so far, sorry if I missed it: Since 4.2.0 (I think) the plus sign of a stepper control does no longer work for me. The only way to get back up to the max. value is to go down to the min value and then it will go up again to the max value when I click the plus icon. Anybody experiencing the same?

Here is an example config for a number:temperature default list item metadata:

value: ""
config:
  autorepeat: "true"
  step: "0.5"
  min: 15
  autorepeatDynamic: "false"
  max: 35

florian-h05 · October 6, 2024, 6:11pm

I cannot reproduce this on the current snapshot and there are no commits to oh-stepper component since 4.2.0 for a Number:Temperature Item with the following default list Item metadata (the stepper component in list Items and cards is the same):

value: oh-stepper-card
config:
  autorepeat: true
  step: 0.5
  min: 15
  autorepeatDynamic: false
  max: 35

Do you see anything in the browser console or openHAB logs?

DrRSatzteil · October 6, 2024, 6:47pm

In this screen capture you can actually see two different strange behaviours. You can see that sometimes just nothing happens (not item change, no log in the browser) when I click the plus button. Then after clicking minus for a couple of times and hitting plus again the item is immediately changed to the maximum of 35. I don’t see a normal increment when pressing plus…

Screen Capture_select-area_20241006202909

Oh, and there is nothing in the openhab.log

florian-h05 · October 6, 2024, 7:46pm

Okay, that is weird.

Unfortunately I cannot reproduce it and I can’t say I say a problem when looking at the code.

If you are able to check out the UI’s code, you could extend the logging and start the dev server. You are probably able to find out what’s going on then.

DrRSatzteil · October 6, 2024, 7:57pm

Checking out the code shouldn’t be a problem. Running the dev server… can you maybe point me towards some documentation?

florian-h05 · October 6, 2024, 8:00pm

Sure: openhab-webui/bundles/org.openhab.ui/CONTRIBUTING.md at main · openhab/openhab-webui · GitHub

Johnno · October 11, 2024, 10:07am

I found a minor issue since upgrading. When retrieving my rules through the REST api, the inline script data converts all round brackets into square.

If you repost that data, obviously the scripts no longer work since the syntax is wrong. If you manually change the brackets back to round ones, it can be posted or put normally, and will work.

Manni51 · October 11, 2024, 12:30pm

I have upgraded 4.2.1 to 4.2.2 using

sudo openhabian-config
entry 03 - Install openHAB

After upgrade system never comes up
Do you have any recommandations?

Hints in dialog box about /var/lib/openhab/ after upgrade are confusing. Obviously I have removed some backup files in the past.

FreddyM · October 11, 2024, 4:27pm

entry 02 - Upgrade System
is the wright choise

Manni51 · October 11, 2024, 4:42pm

Thanks a lot.

The new menu is more confusing than before.
I was busy in software developement for more than 40 years. We have released many versions of our products.

I have learned, keep it simple. If you want expert mode, than enable expert menu. Keep in mind:

Every explanation creates new confusion

This command will delete the temporary files within openHAB.
May resolve issues with addon installation and configuration.

This option needs to run as root! (e.g. use 'sudo openhab-cli clean-cache')

openhabian@oh-m:~ $ sudo openhab-cli clean-cache

This command will delete the temporary files within openHAB.

The next start of openHAB will take a bit longer.

I thought that may be I should clean the cache, but that generates the error above.

I’m tempted to go in and delete the files it couldn’t remove, but since I don’t know what I’m doing, I don’t want to make it worse.

@Benjy Can you provide some guidance here?

These look problematic and installing these packages on my own RPi 4 seems to be okay - do you have enough space on the SD card? You can check by using the df command.

I don’t know enough to decipher this to answer your question.

What size SD card do you recommend? I recall years ago advice was to use 16 GB, but I didn’t find any recent recommendations.

Last month a created a fresh installation with a new SD card on which I downloaded the lasted openHABian and restored my configuration to it.

Looks like you have enough space, so that’s not the issue. The upgrade is failing because two directories aren’t being removed:

rm: cannot remove '/var/lib/openhab/tmp/kar/org.smarthomej.binding.tuya-4.2.0/org/smarthomej/addons/bundles': Directory not empty
rm: cannot remove '/var/lib/openhab/cache/org.eclipse.osgi/331': Directory not empty

This shouldn’t be able to happen because the commands that report the above errors would have been:

rm -rf "${OPENHAB_USERDATA:?}"/tmp
rm -rf "${OPENHAB_USERDATA:?}"/cache

As far as I know, this can happen if there’s some sort of corruption on the directory/files. Are you able to move the directories mentioned to somewhere else before deleting them manually?
