Switch in *.item file does not switch KNX actuator

DaOzi · March 5, 2020, 7:36pm

thanks for your reply.

yes i tried many times… i am running out of ideas and hope someone can give me a hint

Udo_Hartmann · March 5, 2020, 8:29pm

Well, then raise the log level for knx to DEBUG. Maybe the log will show some details.

DaOzi · March 5, 2020, 9:03pm

is that the right one?

2020-03-05 20:47:08.303 [ome.event.ItemCommandEvent] - Item ‘Licht_OG_Ankleidezimmer’ received command OFF

2020-03-05 20:47:08.320 [vent.ItemStateChangedEvent] - Licht_OG_Ankleidezimmer changed from ON to OFF

==> /var/log/openhab2/openhab.log <==

2020-03-05 20:47:52.282 [WARN ] [ueemulation.internal.upnp.UpnpServer] - Could not send UPNP response: Cannot assign requested address (sendto failed)

Udo_Hartmann · March 5, 2020, 10:51pm

No, you have to raise the log level. Use the karaf console:

[23:44:27] openhabian@openhab2:~$ openhab-cli console

So the first step is to login to karaf. The second step is to set the log level to DEBUG. The third step is to check, if the setting is correct (not essential ) and the last step is to logout from karaf.
To get all information from begin, restart openHAB. Check only openhab.log. (var/log/openhab2/openhab.log) because frontail will give you much to much information in addition.

In addition to what @Udo_Hartmann was saying, you could also check ETS5’s bus protocol if there are any GA-commands on the bus.

H102 · March 6, 2020, 2:25pm

In addition to restarting OH try cleaning the cache.

sudo systemctl stop openhab2

sudo openhab-cli clean-cache

sudo systemclt start openhab2

Hi Udo_Hartmann,
i enabled the debugging on knx and got the following result:

could be that the hue emulation causes this issue??

Thank you anyway for your advise!!

DaOzi · March 6, 2020, 6:08pm

Thanks for the hint, tried it out without success.

DaOzi · March 6, 2020, 6:15pm

do you mean to start “Busmonitor” ? i have started it and check if i get a response - if a get a response i will double check the KNX adresses - hopefully there was no change. i can’t imagine that this will be changed automatically… (i hope so)

Thank you so much for your help as well

Udo_Hartmann · March 6, 2020, 6:26pm

No, this is nothing about knx.

Did you restart openHAB?

DaOzi · March 6, 2020, 6:38pm

yes
sudo reboot

it seems when i push the light button, nothing happens… absolut nothing…

i have an image (backup) of an very old openhab 2 version … do you think it make sens to try it out with antoher SD card and check if it is working?

Udo_Hartmann · March 6, 2020, 6:39pm

No, the point of restarting openHAB is, to get a complete debug from knx binding, so where is the debug of knx?

DaOzi · March 6, 2020, 6:54pm

i doublechecked the debug configuration:

and from the point of reboot, there is nothing in the logfile regarding knx … did i miss somthig to add?

Udo_Hartmann · March 6, 2020, 6:59pm

Then I doubt that knx binding is installed.

DaOzi · March 6, 2020, 7:01pm

sorry to bother you …

should i uninstall it reinstall it?

Udo_Hartmann · March 6, 2020, 7:05pm

Sure.

DaOzi · March 6, 2020, 7:17pm

as soon the knx binding is installed i should find “knx.cfg” in the services folder - right?
or is it now located in another folder?

btw.: thank you very much for your help

DaOzi · March 6, 2020, 7:39pm

I guess i found the problem!!!

i had to enable “Include Legacy 1.x Bindings”

than i was able to install “knx binding 1.x” where i can use my knx.cfg file …

Udo thank you so much for the hint with the binding - that was the correct hint to find the solution!!

THANK you so much!!

Udo_Hartmann · March 6, 2020, 7:47pm

No? You are using openHAB2.5.2.1, by default this version will use knx2, not knx1.

If you are using knx1, then for the fast solution, uninstall knx2, enable legacy bindings (Paper UI->Configurations->System->Add On Management -> Include Legacy 1.x Bindings), then install knx1.

For the long run, please consider to change configuration to knx2, which is using a Bridge (holds config part from old knx.cfg), at least one knx generic thing (better to use one thing per knx device) and per channel one channel. Then link these channels to the items.

EDIT: too slow…

Another EDIT: As you are using knx1, the logging will be org.openhab.binding.knx1 instead.

DaOzi · March 6, 2020, 8:13pm

wondering that i do not find knx2 …

i think this will be my next home automation project
again, thank you so much for your help!!
