[SOLVED] MyOpenHab does not show any item but the rest service sees them

[joeschny (joe)]

Hi,
Issue is that i can’t see items in myopenhab and therefore alexa may not see them.

• configured v2.5 openhab via text file “items/cloud.items” for the items and one is i
  “Switch Voice_Robot “Voice1 Testing” [“Switchable”]”
• myopenhab sees system online
• rest call “https://myopenhab.org/rest/items” answers:
  [{“link”:“https://myopenhab.org/rest/items/Voice_Robot",“state”:“NULL”,“editable”:false,“type”:“Switch”,“name”:“Voice_Robot”,“label”:"Voice1 Testing”,“tags”:[“Switchable”],“groupNames”:[]},{“link”:"https://myopenhab.org/rest/items/GF_Sonoff_S20_Power",“state”:“ON”,“stateDescription”:{“pattern”:"%s ",“readOnly”:false,“options”:[]},“editable”:false,“type”:“Switch”,“name”:“GF_Sonoff_S20_Power”,“label”:“Power”,“category”:“sonoff_s20_uk”,“tags”:[],“groupNames”:[“GF_Sonoff_S20”]},{“members”:[],“link”:“https://myopenhab.org/rest/items/GF_Sonoff_S20",“state”:“NULL”,“editable”:false,“type”:“Group”,“name”:“GF_Sonoff_S20”,“label”:"Sonoff S20”,“category”:“sonoff_s20_uk”,“tags”:[],“groupNames”:[“Sonoff_S20”]}]
• my cloud config file openhabcloud.cfg:
  expose=Power
  openhabcloud:expose=Power

Not sure what i am doing wrong. I can see through a rest call my items but the myopenhab does not show them. Toggling them does not help.

thx, Joerg

@joeschny

switch Voice_Robot “Voice1 Testing” [“Switchable”]

Switch Voice_Robot "Voice1 Testing" ["Lighting"]

Switch capital S
Lighting tag for Alexa, Switchable doesn’t work anymore

Only the items you expose and then move will show up in the list at myopenhab web site. For Alexa to work you do not need to expose anything, and in fact it is better to not expose anything unless you use IFTTT cloud service.
