openHAB 4.3 Release Discussion

[lux (Michael)]

npm i frontail -g

so i did with older OpenHAB Installation in Debian - works as expected

@rlkoshak

So, given your logs shown above, if you opened log viewer after 17:33:21.895, it won’t show anything until the next log statement is written.

Aaah, I understand.
Just a silly question:
I have rules which are running several times a day and I want to know if they were executed. Is there a way to get the information that those rules are still running ? Or do I have to have a permanently open window (as admin) with the log-viewer to see such information ?
Here a rule-example, which gives me every four hours information that it’s still running

var countNTP = 0
var vCount = 0

rule "Zeit mit Zeitzone"
  when
    Item Dummy_4 changed to ON or
    Item Current_DateTime received update
  then
//    logInfo("ntp","Zeit hat sich geändert")
    var vTimeZoneOffsetString = "MEZ"
    val vTimeZoneOffset = Current_DateTime.state.format("%1$tZ")
    if (vTimeZoneOffset == "+02:00") vTimeZoneOffsetString = "MESZ"
    CurrentTime2.postUpdate(Current_DateTime.state.format("%1$tA, %1$td.%1$tm %1$tH:%1$tM ").toString + vTimeZoneOffsetString)
    TimeType.postUpdate(vTimeZoneOffsetString)
    CurrentTime4.postUpdate(actualTime_gmt.state.format("%1$tH:%1$tM "))

    if (countNTP < 479) {
       countNTP = countNTP +1 
    }
    else {
        logInfo("ntp","Zeit hat sich geändert {} schon wieder 4 Stunden vorbei", countNTP)
        countNTP = 0
    }

end

Any idea to see such logs ?

Cheers Peter

Any idea to see such logs ?

If you want to check the log automatically, take a look on the LogReader binding. It allows you to define custom pattern and trigger some rule or update DateTime item.

[florian-h05 (Florian H.)]

A simpler approach might be to create a DateTime Item „Last run of rule xy“ and update it to the current time when running rule xy.

[watou (John Cocula)]

You could also add an expire= timer to an item that causes you to get a message when the rule didn’t run in time.

Upgraded to 4.3 the other day. Tried viewing the new UI Log viewer, but it’s always blank. Tried setting a few more parameters to INFO, but still nothing. Is there another setting I need to change?

Thanks

Originally installed openhabian.

[fibu-freak (Peter)]

thx for info. I will give it a try
Cheers Peter

[florian-h05 (Florian H.)]

Do you have a reverse proxy in place?
Do you access openHAB through openHAB Cloud?

[huch (Markus Schuch)]

I also can confirm this. All sliders of dimmer items linked to an mqtt:dimmer channel are stuck at position 0 after upgrading to 4.3.

A workaround for me was setting a state description “step” of 1.

[ra_dzik]

@Larsen

@ra_dzik , @florian-h05 : My solution in the meantime is to use

I wrote exactly the same yesterday - temporaty solution is to use 2 browsers, anyway I see slower performance, in the previous version of OH everything worked instantly just click-view, click-item, etc. just quickly

Lots of good recommendations have been provided here. I’ll only add that you can change the logging level of openhab.events.RuleStatusInfoEvent to INFO and that will add a line to events.log (and to log viewer) every time the rule runs and another when it returns to idle. This could be used with @djal’s suggestion to use the LogReader binding or to trigger a rule using the Generic trigger (caution, very advanced stuff).

[fibu-freak (Peter)]

Hi Rich, thx for your help and the hints. When reading here I found another thread where there’s an ongoing discussion about the “frontail-problem”, and where you are posting too. So I can follow there what*s the next steps.
BTW: I found out that the web-socket problem

2024-12-20 14:52:47.155 [INFO ] [b.core.io.websocket.log.LogWebSocket] - WebSocket error: java.util.concurrent.TimeoutException: Idle timeout expired: 10000/10000 ms
2024-12-20 14:58:07.198 [INFO ] [b.core.io.websocket.log.LogWebSocket] - WebSocket error: java.util.concurrent.TimeoutException: Idle timeout expired: 10000/10000 ms
2024-12-20 15:04:27.120 [INFO ] [b.core.io.websocket.log.LogWebSocket] - WebSocket error: java.util.concurrent.TimeoutException: Idle timeout expired: 10000/10000 ms

was (is) initiated by the new log-viewer, which closes/stopped the connection, so one have to push the start-button (top-right) again.

Cheer and thx, Peter

[Toopy14 (Toopy)]

Don’t have a reverse proxy setup and it’s not something I specifically setup in OH. I’ve installed the openHAB Cloud service, but I haven’t configured it yet. I have my email address tied to a cloud account that I’ve been using for my 2.5.x setup. I suspect I can’t use the same email address, so I’ll have to open another email account. I’d like to keep the 2.5.x setup running until I can port over what I can and recreate what I can’t port over. So at the moment, only accessing the UI on the local network.

[John_Siemon]

Just an fyi. I am having the same issue with mqqt dimmers being stuck at 0. I have no reverse proxy setup and I am running local only. My solution was to migrate back to M5. This seems to have fixed the issue for me for now.

UPDATE: This fix was short lived. It seems to only fix the sliders when viewed from my MacOS computer using Safari, but not Chrome. When I use iOS on my iPad the sliders are stuck at 0 and the sliders show no tick marks in M5 or the GA. Dropping all the way back to M4 does seem to correct this issue on all devices (MacOS or iOS) and Chrome and Safari.

[JanvK (Jan von Komaromy)]

The way how I can solve it: I compare the DOM step by step and set the CSS settings where there are differences changing the design into what I don’t want.
As an example: var(–f7-list-item-title-font-size) was 14px in the desktop design and 17px in the iOS-design. So setting it manually for the list items make the design as it should.

[Larsen (Locke)]

I just would like to link the discussion below about the problem with profiles with this one, as I think it’s an important regression. We’ve got this problem with any channel.

Enocean : impossible to link a rockerswitch channel with an item in main ui : There is no profile available for the selected item

Looks like when I updated to OH 4.3.0 (Main UI Commit 8b8732ce ) i cannot add an item to a rockerswitch channel because all profiles are greyed and I get the message “There is no profile available for the selected item” anybody in that situation ?

[HenMus]

Many thanks for this new version!!!

I did the upgrade and the update.log file ends with

SUCCESS: openHAB updated from 4.2.0.M3 to 4.3.0

In the GUI I see that most things are online but nothing is working. To check was is happening I open visual studio and load I get errors

and in the output window

Usage of deprecated config => openhab.host <= detected.
Usage of deprecated config => openhab.host <= detected.
openHAB vscode extension has been activated
[Error - 3:07:40 PM] Connection to server is erroring. Shutting down server.
[Error - 3:07:40 PM] Connection to server is erroring. Shutting down server.
Could not reload items for HoverProvider

What is wrong?

[lsiepel (Leo)]

Check your log files after a restart. They will probably give some leads to the cause.

[maxmaximax (Marcus)]

In section for breaking changes:
++++++++++

MQTT Binding (Home Assistant)

• Thing types and channel IDs have been significantly restructured and simplified. Delete and re-create your things to opt in to the new style. In a subsequent openHAB release, existing things will also convert to the new style.
  ++++++++++

It would be great to have that release very soon to convert the affected things automatically and avoid re-creating all of them.

What is the timing of that “subsequent release”?
Will that release come in a month or two?
I hope it’s not going to be OH5…

Thank you.

[HenMus]

I repeated the process with the same result. See logfile below
