You’re quite right, I went back too far in the log looking for a reboot to begin from that didn’t happen.
Today’s relevant log
[org.osgi.service.event.Event [topic=openhab/command/Raffstore] {item=Raffstore, bridgemarker=true, command=47, timestamp=1560340491904}
...
Bundle(org.openhab.binding.http_1.12.0 [261])]
java.util.IllegalFormatConversionException:
d != org.openhab.core.library.types.PercentType
at java.util.Formatter$FormatSpecifier.failConversion(Formatter.java:4302)
I’ll interpret it the other way round I think; it’s not the percent type that is the problem it is the $d format?
Looking at old threads for people struggling with HTTP controlled dimmers, I cannot find anyone successfully using the %2$d substitution. It ought to work, but?
%2$s does seem to work with dimmers though.
So, @usr, let’s try this, to format the numeric command as string.
Received HTTP POST request at 'items/Raffstore' for the unknown item 'Raffstore'.
Did you look at the log at all?
Whatever it is that you have done now, you no simply longer have an Item called Raffstore.
Perhaps your items file got overwritten in the unnecessary reinstallation.
Alright. If you are still getting the unknown item 'Raffstore'
messages in your openhab.log, there is either something wrong with your xxx.items file or it is in the wrong folder.
There’s nothing we can do about that from here.
If you look in your openhab.log when you boot or edit the xxx.items file, you should see a message about Loading model 'xxx.items'
(with your filename of course)
If that is not there, your file is in the wrong folder or not called .items
If it is there, look to see if an error message follows it to show a problem.

Good. So … no more unknown item 'Raffstore' messages now?
Your sitemap has some problem. Do you get your Raffstore slider? If you slide it, do you get commands in your events.log? If you do, do you get errors in your openhab.log?
May we see your current items file line for Raffstore?
I wrote a little application in Java to receive the command to make sure that the command was actually sent. Then I noticed the stack trace in my openhab.log log file indicating that something was wrong with the URL… The command is ok now, if I move the slider then I see the different values appearing in the java application. So now it should ‘just work’ for @usr
