[SOLVED] Restore On Startup not working with mysql persistence?

@Newbie2

This doesn’t mentiones anything about rules or bindings or whatever. Its just sais:
In order for items to be persisted across openHAB restarts, you must define a restoreOnStartup strategy for your items. Then whatever state they were in before the restart will be restored automatically

That is correct. An Item is something in openHAB, It may or may not represent some device, or part of a device, or situation in the real world.
restore-on-startup is only intended to restore the state of the Item.

If you want to to take some action on a real world device, it’s up to you to do that.

restoreOnStartup persistence doesn't work at my GPIO pins

@rlkoshak Okay… I just started with GPIO because for me that was the first “small step” that I could do without bringing too much complexity into learning OpenHAB. I thought: Do one small step, understand it, do next step. Here some results of further testing: I used this rule: rule "Restore GPIO states" when System started then logInfo("startup.rules", "Executing »Restore GPIO states« rules") Thread::sleep(1000) DesktopLight_Switch.sendCommand(DesktopLight_Switch.previousSta…

Problem with previousState

Continuing the discussion from Problem with previousState: Hi, I’m facing another situation with ‘.previousState()’. The issue is with the TRADFRI lights, since they are initialized after persistence kicks in on system reboot. I’m able to get this value from influxdb, but as @rlkoshak mentioned it is the same state as current once reload is finished. This is, of course, due to fact that state is changed from UNDF to “Current state” which triggers new persistence record to be added to DB. It…
