[SOLVED] WeMo Reliability

Add-ons Bindings

To answer my own question, I took the following steps to create a 2.5.6 jar for the wemo binding:

  1. Download the docker repository from https://github.com/openhab/openhab-docker.
  2. Copy the files from the folder 2.5.6/debian (3 files total, including a Dockerfile) to my server.
  3. ssh into the server and cd to the location of the copied files.
  4. docker build --tag openhab:2.5.6 . to create a new image.
  5. Create a new container using the new image (I did this with a stack within Portainer, but you can use whatever you would normally use). You’ll likely need to shut down any running OH container first to avoid a port conflict. As soon as the container is fully loaded you can stop it again.
  6. Navigate to the config folder for the new container and then to userdata\tmp\mvn\org\openhab\addons\bundles\org.openhab.binding.wemo\2.5.6-SNAPSHOT (this is Windows notation because I copied and pasted File Explorer via Samba).
  7. Grab the 2.5.6 jar file from there (there were two, I used the one with the specific date instead of the generic “SNAPSHOT” filename, but it looks like they might be identical.
  8. Start your real OH installation.
  9. Disable your 2.5.5 Wemo binding (I did this in my addons.cfg file, but do it wherever you added the Wemo binding in the first place, e.g., PaperUI).
  10. Place the 2.5.6 jar in the addons folder of your real OH installation.

It’s only been running for a couple minutes, so I’ll try to report back on whether the connection to my Wemo devices is more stable.
