Hi,
I followed the instructions given regarding the ComfoAir Binding. For whatever reason the respecitve sitemap reported measurement values from the Comfoair device for a few hours. Since then, I do not receive any values any more.
The Comfoair is connected to my Raspberry Pi via USBtoSerial on /dev/ttyUSB0.
I have no idea how to solve that problem. Could anyone provide support which steps to go in order to identify the problem?
Thank you so much!
Michael
Is the device still on /dev/ttyUSB0? If you unplug it and plug it back in while OH is still running it will show up on another device (e.g. /dev/ttyUSB1).
no, same device:
here is the result with Plugged in / Unplugged / Plugged in (all while OH2 is running):

Exchange of the USB-Serial converter with a different converter has not changed anything. Restart of the Comfoair has not changed anything.
Update, in the meantime I removed and installed the Comfoair binding again. Now, after 2hrs I finally got some (not all!) values, however the /var/log/openhab2/events.log file shows, that I received values only once, and thereafter nothing any more. And I got a huge log file with entries like that:

Any idea what’s going on there?
If it’s still an issue: try disconnecting the CCEASE, it interferes with the RS232 and intercepts and/or manipulates the answers for the serial port.
@binderth I have a similar issue - we talked about it a while ago.
I get every value and can also set the target temperature. However for every minute (the cron job runs every minute in the airflow.rules) I get the same error [b.core.service.AbstractActiveService] as @meschmesch does.
I see also the same warnings but every information is provided as it should be (it takes seconds after startup to show everything, not hours as @meschmesch posted…)
@holger_hees do you probably have additional insights what might cause this error:

It looks like everything works as expected however these warnings and the following error every minute sure flood the log files for a reason…and CCEASE is disconnected here.
Bernd
From discussions with other ComfoAir binding users, I can tell, that it depends an the CCEASE disconnected and with the type of connection cable you are using. I don’t have any such issues with my RS232-to-USB cable using the “Prolific” chipset, and others also report that one’s working without a hassle:
https://www.amazon.de/PL-2303RA-Chipsatz/dp/B0007OWNYA/
Try one of the cables with a PL-2303RA chip!
I finally got it up and running 
with no errors using the following setup:
portnumber:raw:0:/dev/ttyUSB0:9600,8DATABITS,NONE,1STOPBIT
OPTIONS="pty,link=/dev/comfoair,raw,echo=0,user=openhab,group=dialout,mode=777 tcp:ipaddressofpizero:portnumber"
I had errors every minute although the temperature values came correct (as you can see in the above posts) and tried to figure out the root cause for this. Similar setups worked well for other users here (either connected to NAS or directly attached to Pi’s). I finally searched for the issue in the HW of the sending Pi Zero again and replaced the attached USB hub (3x USB, 1x Ethernet) with a regular USB adapter cable (currently OTG cable). It turned out that the USB hub must have caused I/O / Interrupt issues as soon as the Comfoair USB to serial cable was attached (either Prolific or FDDI cable). 
Without the USB hub ComfoAir data is now send smoothly and errorfree over Wifi to openHAB 
Special thanks to @holger_hees for the patience and analyzing debug logs as well as @mstehle and @binderth for discussing options and sharing their setup. 
Cheers, Bernd
glad, it worked out so well! and nice to read your solution of updating openHAB!
