I did understand your suggestion but as I said I have already openHABian on this rpi3b+, I have another rpi 2 b+ with oh1.7x and I know from experience that installing oh is a pain! Anyhow thanks for the answer, still searching how to make rpi3b+ with openHABian (last version) WiFi connection!
I had similar troubles with openhabian and i ended up installing raspbian first and then openhab on top of it. As far as I was able to see, the wifi configurations were the same but raspbian was connected while openhabian wasnāt.
Maybe openhabian was possibly lacking some patch that was released for raspbian.
Therefore it is a good advice to check if standard raspbian can connect
Iām faceing a strange fact right now! Donāt ask me how or when because I donāt know, but right now the WiFi is working! yesterday evening i said to try an WiFi adaptor to replace the lan cable and I when plugged the adapter (it is a netis) the WiFi was working but the led on the adaptor was dead (not blinking) and still I had connection to openHABian via ssh and via app! I said what the hell is going on! And I took out the WiFi adapter and BANG! miracles happen! I donāt know which one of the two settings Iāve made is the right one: setting the WiFi right after you right the openHABian sd image on the sad card or after openHABian installation using openHABian-config! I tested the WiFi After the openHABian install but wasnāt communicating but I canāt tell which one of the 2 is the way to go!
First impression now: the distance between rpi and router is like 2 or 3 meters and no walls or other objects to affect the network but the communication is very poor! I press the roller shutter up button on the mobile app and it goes up after 2 seconds!
Conclusion: after this experience I would not recommend to chose the rpi WiFi connection using its integrated chip!
Hi @hhors, i got my pi3b+ running using
sudo rfkill unblock wifi
and after that running
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
done so the first-boot.sh runs without errors
I have found my problem. My wifi password contains a $ character. I have changed my password and save the ssid and password in the openhabian.conf and know I have wifi from the start up.
