after converting my openhab to version 2 (i am running 2.4 snapshot) on windows 10. linkage8/linkage the words “linkage” above are in <> is part of my data that is returned in an item Number nCheckCam1Alarm “Front Porch [MAP(onoffcam.map):%d]” { http=“<[ http://192.168.0.1:88/cgi-bin/CGI…

Yeah that is a longer story actually. You are using an openHAB 1 binding (http), so you must configure it in the item file. But the item file itself does not allow specific characters without escaping them (with a backslash). So you basically need to double escape (“\\”). This problem will hopefull…

Thanks.. Here is the openhab item Number nCam1Alarm "Motion Detected [(%d)]" { http="<http://192.168.0.xxx:port/cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd=getDevState&usr=xxxxxxx&pwd=xxxxxxxx:4000:REGEX(.*?<motionDetectAlarm>(.*?)</motionDetectAlarm>.*)]" } This is the result from the call when the http co…

Regex is fine here, but rule and item file parsing is way more strict now in openHAB 2 then it was before. That means that any special character need to be escaped (colons for example). If you go to https://regex101.com/ and enter your regex, you will see a parser error for example. Use the XPath t…

Thanks…by adding a \ to the regex in regex101.com … it seemed to work..but as soon as i add a backslash to my item file the whole item file has errors and it ignores my items completely. so in my item i have /motionDetectAlarm changing that to \/motionDetectAlarm invalidates my entire ite…

so i changed it to <\\/motionDetectAlarm> but now am back to square one as its not updating with value. giving me a headache…gonna stop for a while and come back to it fresh later. thanks Kim

Thanks again!! came back to it later (after a nap,lol). Uninstalled the http binding and reinstall it..working now with double backslash. Thanks again kim
