this I have to /addons folder
What can I do?
I have a binding for one-wire in my addons folder and it is showing up. But not the binding for shelly.
Question/Feature request.
Sometimes it can be useful to work with visibility…do you think it could make sense to have a channel that shows if a device is reachable/working (e.g in mqtt we have LWT) ? Or it’s better to rely on the network binding and don’t reinvent the wheel?
Just brainstorming…
Thanks 
This should be indicated by the Thing state (online/offline) and not via a seperate channel.
According to the design concept, a Binding should set Thing state to offline ( with additional information like config pending or communication error) when a device is not working properly or reachable.
Especially with battery operated devices, which will be in deep sleep mode most of the time, you will not have any valid monitoring if the device is working.
Yes it is indeed in PaperUI but I cannot show an item in sitemap based on Thing state…or can I?
Yes I understand it cannot be a monitor system for all types of device, I was just thinking about visibility to clean up a bit a crowded sitemap (e.g I have a bunch of smart plug but I don’t always use them all, some are dedicated to “temporary” setup and I don’t always want them around).
As I said: just brainstorming…maybe it was a silly question 
I can achieve the goal with network binding.
No need for the network Binding.
You can request Thing state in a rule and feed a virtual item with the state. This Item can be used for visibility.
This should be already the case:
- Thing stays in INITIALIZING until the first initialization was completed
this is also the state for battery powered devices until the device connects - The thing goes ONLINE which reachable and responding to the api request
- When the call fails the Thing goes offline, except it is a battery powered device
The solution for you:
- you could trigger a rule when a thing state changes
- send you could set an item
- which gets displayed in your sitemap
This is a rule, which I created for a similar purpose:
/* ---------- Monitor Pool Status ---------- */
rule "Pentair Controller offline"
when
Thing "network:servicedevice:c2e9cdf0" changed or
Thing "pentair:ip_bridge:de80dacd" changed or
Thing "pentair:controller:20ae54fa" changed or
Thing "pentair:intelliflo:f4c07d6a" changed
then
var message = "Status of Pentair equippment changed:\n"
var wifiOnline = ThingAction.getThingStatusInfo("network:servicedevice:c2e9cdf0").getStatus()
var bridgeOnline = ThingAction.getThingStatusInfo("pentair:ip_bridge:de80dacd").getStatus()
var controllerOnline = ThingAction.getThingStatusInfo("pentair:controller:20ae54fa").getStatus()
var pumpOnline = ThingAction.getThingStatusInfo("pentair:intelliflo:f4c07d6a").getStatus()
message = "Status WiFi adapter="+wifiOnline.toString() + "\nPentair Bridge="+bridgeOnline.toString()
message = message + "\nController="+controllerOnline.toString() + "\nPump="+pumpOnline.toString()
reportAlarm.apply(houseId, mailTo, "Pool equippment alarm!", message, mailFooter)
end

I’ve never thought about using Things’ state and rules, thanks I will sure look into it!
For anybody having issues installing the Shelly Binding, please try this build
https://github.com/hmerk/shelly/blob/master/org.openhab.binding.shelly-2.5.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
I have tested it with openHAB 2.4 Release and 2.5-Milestone2
Thank you for the hint (also @hmerk). I’ve just made my first “visibility” rule…just a little correction: ThingAction seems invalid since openhab 2.4, I just removed it to get the thing status.
I tried again and didn’t work… If I give you my raspberry credentials can you check whats the problem?
Could you please post the result of bundle:list
of course. Here is it:

Is there anything stated behind “Unsatisfied Requirements”?
Try to de-install and re-install GSon
I am still fighting with the shelly binding which means it not showing up.
Is it correct to have both Gson bindings:
252 │ Resolved │ 80 │ 2.8.5 │ Gson
253 │ Resolved │ 80 │ 2.8.2.v20180104-1110 │ Gson: Google Json Library for Java
Unintentionally I uninstalled also Google Json Vers.2.8.2. Now I have the resolved status on both bindings. Do not know if this could be a problem.
Any idea?
I don’t think so, you get rid of GSon 2.8.2
try to run a openhab-cli clean-cache
Try the latest build from the snapshort branch. I added another error handling on startup, maybe this catches the situation.
I did openhab-cli clean-cache and noticed the following:
- Google Gson 2.8.2 (which I installed) changed back to 2.7.0
- Gson 2.8.5 is removed.
After reinstallation of Gson 2.8.5 I get the following message with bundle:diag:
Gson (252)
----------
Status: Installed
Unsatisfied Requirements:
Declarative Services
As it looks like there is a problem with the installation of Gson 2.8.5. Perhaps because there is already a Google version installed.
could you remove 2.8.5 and try
only with 2.8.2 or even 2.7?
