RPI OpenHAB 3.1. but still Openhabian 2.5

@mstormi

Why do you come up with that now ?

I think its pretty standard installation: MQTT Broker, Zigbee2MQTT, Bluetooth2MQTT.
However, due to not being an expert all of this took me very long to install, bugfix and configure. If I would have to do it again it will take ~ the same time …

@mstormi

• (carefully and comprehensively) read the docs and posts
• maintain your installation

Based on this post openHAB 3.0.2 Patch Release and the Sunset of Bintray it looks like i should have updated before 1 May. Sorry but i dont browse this forum this regular … Some kind of information at openhab startup or something like this would have been nice.

@mstormi

attempt what being told to fix … I refer to my suggestions “uninstall or downgrade OH” and “use option 42 to downgrade openHABian”

@mstormi

One last advice, try either downgrading the openHAB package (=replace with openhab2 package)

Sorry but i still dont understand this. I do have a valid Openhab 2.5. image backup on my drive which i flashed on the SD card. I didnt do that much changes on my Openhab 3 version that it would be horrible to perform the update again. But still i understood that due to this “Bintray issue” its very hard to update even if i am still at Opehab 2.5. Therefore i dont understand the benefit of downgrading. Or is my understanding wrong?

@mstormi

That is dead simple: openhabian-config menu option 50.

Ok thank you, this means that in this case also the GUI-created things and items are saved?

@mstormi

You should have updated openHABian in this step.
I of course don’t know how that question text looks to you with your year-old code but it should tell you which branch you are on and there should also be a choice to not switch to a new branch but update the current one.

Restore your working 2.5 image

Check /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* for bintray remainders and replace them by the current repo (look them up on the forum I’m not sure if it was the same for 2.X, in 3.X it is deb https://openhab.jfrog.io/artifactory/openhab-linuxpkg stable main).
(best before AND after you run openhabian-config).

Update openHABian branch on openhabian-config start (you should be on “stable” as long as you are still on OH2)

Finally you should be able to run 03 Install.

Thank you for the advice. I will try this!
