[SOLVED] iCloud-Binding Things turn offline unexpectedly

Add-ons Bindings

Hi,

i added the icloud Binding to my openhab 4 installation to check if my iPhone is in my house. Unfortunately, after some time the icloud binding either reports a communication error or the binding says that my iPhone is offline. When I restart one of the things they start working again but after some time one of them goes offline again. Is there a way to keep both things online?

Maybe that’s the same?

Thanks for your reply. Looks like this could be a hacky solution for the problem. So far it looks like the rule posted in this thread works.

  - id: "1"

        thingMgr.setEnabled(new ThingUID('icloud:account:xxxxxx'), false);
        thingMgr.setEnabled(new ThingUID('icloud:device:xxxxx'), false);
        java.lang.Thread.sleep(3000);
        logger.info('Enable iCloud Account and iPhone');
        thingMgr.setEnabled(new ThingUID('icloud:account:xxxxx'), true);
