As you may know, I developped a binding for Powermax alarm systems. The binding is working well in OH 1.8. When I run it in OH 2 beta 2, I encounter a strange behaviour during the starting process:
- during the starting of my bundle, activate and deactivate are called TWICE very shortly. Is it normal ?
- then the bundle is started. So I get a new call to activate. But one time again, deactivate is called immediately, with the result that the refresh service is run only one time.
- As the refresh service is run once, my serial connection is correctly established and I can see that the bundle is correctly handling communications with my alarm system.
If the refresh service would not have been deactivated, I am almost sure that the binding would work well in opehNAB2.
@Kai: any idea why deactivate is called immediately after activate ?
I am curious to know if it is the only 1.x binding encountering this issue.
I have to mention that in older versions of OH2, it was working well.
Here are my log sequence:
