TA C.M.I binding - channel disappears right after being created

Setup, Configuration and Use Beginners

Dear community,

I am struggling with creating channels on a thing.

I’m running openHAB 4.0.4 in a docker container.
I use the TA C.M.I binding to get values from a device.
There are two ways to do this, I am using “TA C.M.I. schema API connection” (not CoE).

Well at least that’s what i’m trying to do.
I created a thing which is online.
And as soon as I create a channel, it immediately disappears again.

If I disable the thing, the channel stays visible and is also visible in the code.
But as soon as I start the thing, the channel is gone again.

I read all the docs I could find on that binding and there is no single mention of such a behavior.
So this might as well be some absolute noob mistake I am making.

I tried analyzing the HTTP requests but didn’t learn anything there.

Could you give me a hint how to troubleshoot that?

Thanks a lot!

Nils

WIth the TA C.M.I. schema API connection you should not create channels yourself. The channels will be created automatically depending what you have set on your schema page in TA Designer.

Awesome!
Thank you for the hint!
I was completely off track there.
After I read your reply I had a closer look at the TA Designer (instead of the openhab side)

Aaaand I just forgot the colon there.
So instead of
tempWW warm water temperature**:**
i had
tempWW warm water temperature

Added the colon and the channel magically appeared.

Sometimes all it needs is a little push in the right direction :slight_smile:

Thank you!
