[SOLVED] Lost most of my Things, can't add them back

  • OS: what OS is used and which version Windows 7
  • openHAB version:2.2

I was attempting to install the RC of AmazonEchoControl when, and I don’t have much reason to think it’s at fault, I lost the majority of my Things. I was left with 5. Why 5? Why this 5? Not sure, they are a mixture of zwave, wifi devices.

The remaining 13 were gone, but I also have 13 items showing up in the inbox. There they are.
Problem is, when I try to add them back, Error 404 Not Found. I’ve deleted them from the inbox and rebooted. They come back to the inbox and I can’t add them back. I removed the AmazonEchoControl of course.

The openhap.log and events.log don’t show anything when I try to add them back. Any ideas on how I can get my things back? I’m not sure what other logs I should be looking in for more detail on the 404 error.

Are your things defined in a text file too?
Have you tried to clear the cache?

Clear the Cache

Often when one encounters a problem with OH, particularly after an update, OH will refuse to run or certain parts of OH stop working. Some reported errors include: 500 or 404 errors when accessing the UIs lots of exceptions from Jetty or other core components in openhab.log OH refuses to start at all The first step in debugging the problem is to clear the tmp and cache. Installed OH If you are running an installed OH (openHABian, installed using apt or yum): openhab-cli stop openhab-cl…

I’ve not cleared the cache before…doing that brought the things back. Looks like I just need to clear out the duplicates from the inbox now. That is exactly what I needed.
Thank you for your help!
