Hey Angelo, see my post above, try that sequence!
Here is follow-up on ring-mqtt message board: https://github.com/tsightler/ring-mqtt/issues/240#issuecomment-905974725. In short, discovery in the current configuration does not work reliablyâŠ
Iâve noticed that my things go and stay offline or various not online states when I restart OpenHAB until I then restart ring-mqtt but they all seem to work anyway. I bet thatâs part of the same problem too, but I think fixable with a rule on startup

What would the rule do, terminate ring-mqtt instance and create a new one?
According to the GitHub issue you linked, all we need to do is publish offline and online messages to the homeassistant/status topic to have it re send the config messages so thatâs all we should need to do if I understand properly
edit:
Hereâs the rule I put together that does just that. Running it manually forces ring-mqtt to re-send all the config topics as well
triggers:
- id: "1"
configuration:
startlevel: 100
type: core.SystemStartlevelTrigger
conditions: []
actions:
- inputs: {}
id: "2"
configuration:
type: application/python
script: |-
mqttActions = actions.get("mqtt","mqtt:broker:mqttBroker")
mqttActions.publishMQTT("homeassistant/status", "online")
type: script.ScriptAction
Also, while the ring-mqtt doesnât appear to listen for âofflineâ on the homeassistant/status topic, I configured my mqtt broker to send it anyway out of caution

Now if I could only get my auto configured ring locks to stop throwing this in the log that would be great
[ab.binding.mqtt.generic.ChannelState] - Command 'LOCKED' not supported by type 'OnOffValue': No enum constant org.openhab.core.library.types.OnOffType.LOCKED
Setting a map on the channel or not having the channel linked at all doesnât seem to make a difference and it still reports anyway
Not only locks, I am getting a very similar message from window/door sensors:
[WARN ] [t.generic.ChannelStateTransformation] - Executing the JINJA-transformation failed: An error occurred while transformation. Argument named 'default_value' is required but missing for filter default
[WARN ] [ab.binding.mqtt.generic.ChannelState] - Command ' OFF ' not supported by type 'OnOffValue': No enum constant org.openhab.core.library.types.OnOffType. OFF
Any thoughts?
How is that channel configured ?
Somehow you get an OFF command with leading space which cannot be transformedâŠ
Given that channels and maps are fully auto-discovered, it implies that itâs either (a) issue with OpenHab discovery process of HomeAssistant elements, or (b) ring-mqtt does not provide the right specification for itâs channelsâŠ
This is perfect!
Iâve tried the following:
- Not having the channel linked to anything at all
- Having the channel linked to a string item
- Having the channel linked to a switch item / default profile
- Having the channel linked to a switch item / map profile (map file contains LOCKED=ON UNLOCKED=OFF)
They all throw the âCommand âLOCKEDâ not supported by type âOnOffValueâ: No enum constant org.openhab.core.library.types.OnOffType.LOCKEDâ into the log periodically
The channel itself is auto configured like this:
The full text that runs off the side for the bottom is this (UIDs partially redacted)

Just to give an update: since 4.8.0 The docker container version also supports live streams via rtsp. Works quite well, if you are running on decent hardware (e.g. a Synology with enough memory)
Hey cool, thanks for the update! Are you integrating the stream somehow into the OH UI?
@Lars_Deutsch ever since I upgraded to 4.8.1, I get tons of these messages in my logs. Are you having the same thing?

Same warning messages here.
Maybe worth opening an issue on their Github? I want to upgrade as well to implement the chime but with so many warning messages I donât know 
I try to run my OH with a clean as possible logâŠ
-edit-
I have just spotted that version 4.7 also supports the chime in which case that would be good enough for me. Did any of you guys above had version 4.7.0 - 4.7.2 installed with the same issues? Otherwise I just use one of those.
Anyone updated to 4.8.3 and still get the errors?
Just updated, warning messages are still there.
I updated as well. Same errors. I opened an issue on GitHub. Due to this discussion I found a fix for now. In short, create your own MQTT-Things and configure the channels and do not use the auto discovered mqtt:homeassistant-based Thing.
