[SOLVED] Expire: not expiring?

Add-ons Bindings
1

Hmm, expire worked well in OHv1.
Now I am on OHv2 and have the following item:

Number   GeoLoc_MaxG_Vel		"Max's speed is [%.0f km/h]"			<speedo>	(gGeoMax, gGeoMax_Chart, gPersist_rrd4j) { expire="5m,0" }

… which does not send the zero after 5 minutes.
I have tried “5m,state=0”, “5m,command=0”, which did not work either.

The binding docu tells me “5m,0” seems the right command for updating a number.
The expire binding is installed and active, according to console and PaperUI.

Works for me with numbers, including zero, even negative.

Need to look for updates on that Item?

Ouch! No updates coming in, no expire trigger being set… this hurts.
I am sure it will work when I am driving tomorrow. (A holiday today here in AU.)

Thanks!

I don’t know, maybe it’s about clearing caching when editing an Item.
{ expire=“5m,0” } definitely works as expected in OH2.4

You are getting a trigger to begin with? i.e. expire does not “auto start” at boot time. Nor does it do anything if state is already, or changes to, the target 0.

Make a test Item with a much shorter time as a demo?

All good. All clear…
Maybe I wasn’t explicit with my reply…
It is exactly that: no update coming in for this item, thus no trigger, hence, nothing to see. :slight_smile:

I updated the item over the console and expire worked as designed!
