Issue of the topic:
Hello,
I kindly ask for help after I done the followings:

Since the openHAB Cloud Connector was not working anymore I tried to implement the solution explanied here because I was not able to unintsall the addon via UI:
[SOLVED] myopenhab.org says "Your openHAB is not online." - #3 by candrea. After I have executed the commands from the solution :

sudo systemctl stop openhab2
sudo openhab-cli clean-cache
sudo systemctl start openhab2

I got the following error messages:

If logs where generated please post these here using code fences:

Please let me know if I can fix this issue!
Thank you!

At this point all I can recommend is upgrade to download the .kar file of addons from the Download page and put that into your add-ons folder.

marian.tudor · November 2, 2022, 4:38pm

Hello! Thank you for the prompt answer! Please could you be more specific with me because I don’t know how to: “upgrade to download the .kar file of addons from the Download page.” Where I can find the Download page ?
Please consider that In the Openhab UI I can have access only to logview and help pages…Also I’m not sure regarding the location of the addon folder. It is under the services? Thank you !

rlkoshak · November 2, 2022, 5:10pm

That was a typo. I was going to say something else and didn’t delete everything.

Go to the Download link at the top of this page. Scroll to the bottom to get to the legacy OH 2 downloads. Choose your OS (choose Linux if openHABian), download the addons and drop that file into your OH’s addons folder.

There is a table of file locations on the installation page for each operating system.

marian.tudor · November 2, 2022, 7:20pm

Hello!

Your recommandation fixed my issue ! Many thanks! Now I can see 2 addons/bindings version for each feature:

Considering that my current OH version is 2.5.10, please let me know if it is recommanded to install the coresponding addon version or it will bve also fine / better to install the newer one (2.5.12). Thx again!

rlkoshak · November 2, 2022, 7:27pm

OH core was frozen at version 2.5.0 so the only differences between 2.5.0 and 2.5.12 are the add-ons. You don’t have to upgrade. But as long as your core is different from your add-ons you’ll see two entries.

In general, my recommendation for anyone wanting to continue to run old and no longer supported software is to not change anything. Even then something outside of your control will change forcing you to change something and, as shown here, it’s likely to break. The longer you avoid upgrading, the more brittle your system will become and the more work it will be to upgrade when it finally does break and cannot be fixed without upgrading.

Many thanks for this!

rlkoshak · November 2, 2022, 9:03pm

I can’t say. I use the Shelly binding but I’ve only ever used it as an official binding. It’s in the docs as an official binding for 2.5. Beyond that Two years ago is a long time. I never followed any manual process or anything special with that binding.
