Proxmox + OpenHAB: KNX Router losing connection

1

Recently I tried to move my setup from a Debian Direct Setup (HW: 2010 MacMini) to an LXC Container on a new Intel NUC with Proxmox 8.1.5 installed.

Backup & Restore of OH Config did a great job, all Things are Online.

But after about 5 Minutes OpenHAB (4.1.2) did not receive any Messages from the KNX Router anymore. I can send messages to KNX like Rollershutter, but there are no upates from the KNX Bus like temperatures, button presses, pesence detection.

Other Bindings seem to work correct. The setup has 40 Bindings, 185 Things, 1000 items, …
KNX is the backbone in my house, if KNX and openHAB is not working there is no light because openHAB does the translation to DMX.

If I do a PAUSE on the KNX Router Thing, it starts working again for aprox. 5 Minutes.

I also did a reinstall of the container and OpneHAB with only the KNX Router Thing and 1 KNX Device. Same behavior. KNX Binding on DEBUG Log does not show anything suspicious. Just no new messages…

Maybe @Udo_Hartmann has a tip for me, because I read in some older threads that you are using a similar setup with proxmox…

Please don’t set localSourceAddr.

(Most parts of my setup are similar, but I don’t use a knx/IP router, but only a knx/IP gateway in tunnel mode.)

Thank you for your answer, but sadly that did not solve the problem.

But I was playing around the whole day with my setup and finally it works.
The problem was my concrete setup with unifi, different vlans, … sometimes to much is to much.
