Probably a really dumb question - but where is the version number of the Insteon Binding?

Add-ons Bindings

I am having an issue with an 8-button mini remote in 8 button mode. OH seems to think it is still a 4 button on-off remote. Want to make sure I am running the latest Insteon Binding. But I can’t seem to find the bindings version number…..

OK - so I found it. My OH is 4.3.2 and so is my Inston Binding - 4.3.2.

Should I upgrade to 5.0.2 ?

The version number of official add-ons always match the version number of OHexcept in unusual cases (e.g. add-on jar file placed in the addons folder.

If you want or need the latest Insteon binding, you should upgrade OH to 5.0.2 (the latest release).

So I am still a bit confused. I am currently running OH 4.3.2. I installed the Insteon Binding from the Add-ons from the OH main web page. I thought this was the “official” Insteon binding for my version of OH. So what is this beta binding: Insteon Binding (Beta) [4.1.0.0;4.3.0.0) Is this the “beta” of the binding I am using or is this a

n entirely different binding from a different developer? And where is the addons folder you mentioned.

If you installed it from the “openHAB Distribution” it’s an officially maintained add-on that is part of the OH project.

If you install if from “Community Marketplace” it’s a bind that is not a part of the openHAB project. It’s likely an add-on written by one developer and it’s not affiliated with the openHAB project. Often developers will post a testing version of an add-on to the marketplace first before submitting it to the openHAB project to become official.

That’s a marketplace add-on which can only be installed on openHAB versions 4.1.0 through 4.3.0. It is not an official add-on. Though it does look like a testing version of the add-on so what ever changes were made and tested there may have become a part of the official binding.

You need to read the posting to see what that binding is (testing, completely different binding, etc) and the version numbering in the post title indicates what version of OH that add-on will work with.

Depends on how you installed OH. On Linux installed through apt or yum it’s /usr/share/openhab/addons. openHAB on Linux | openHAB
