Systeminfo 2.0 binding - Windows 7

Add-ons Bindings

Hello!

I’ve installed Systeminfo 2.0 binding via Paper UI and tried to discover things. It finds Local computer (Windows 7 maching, which OpenHAB is installed to), but when I add it as thing it states it’s offline. Error message I’m receiveing is: OFFLINE - HANDLER_INITIALIZING_ERROR Thing can not be initialized! Anyone had similar problem with this binding, or am I doing something wrong?

Best regards,
Davor

Might try

openhab> log:set debug org.openhab.binding.systeminfo

and see if there is more information for diagnosis.

This is definitely not Windows 7, but any chance this is related:

I am running the Systeminfo binding on OpenHAB 2 which is also running on Windows 7.

The only issue I have with the binding is following a restart of openHAB 2 whereby is stays in an ‘initialising’ state. If I then uninstall the systeminfo binding and reinstall the binding (via the Paper UI) it then works OK.

There was a similar issue with the Astro binding that is now fixed. I was hoping that this was related, but it looks like it isn’t.

Hello @watou,

as you’ve suggested, I’ve set logging level for Systeminfo binding to debug, and this is the part of the log with debug and error messages I’ve found in openhab.log:

It doesn’t look like it’s the same problem Pine 64 / Linux user had. Thank you for your help.

@MikeD: For me, it just doesn’t work at all.

Best regards,
Davor

@davorf I strongly recommend you open an issue here with the log and other details about the failure. It seems like a bug in a dependent library that the binding author would be interested in seeing.

Hello!

I’ve just installed latest OH2 nightly and tried Systeminfo 2.0 binding and it works. I was wondering if it’s possible to display available/total storage for more than a one hard drive? Using

channel="systeminfo:computer:MAIN:storage#total"

works, but it shows total space for one of the drives (and it’s not a system drive). Is there a way to display total storage of other drives? I’ve tried adding index, but it doesn’t work

channel="systeminfo:computer:MAIN:storage1#total"

Am I missing something?

Best regards,
Davor

Hello!

I’m trying to move to 2.0 bindings wherever it’s possible, so, any help regarding a question from the previous post would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,
Davor
