I have two Raspi Pi 4s, one running OH 4.3.3 and the other running OH 5.0.1. I have installed the TapoControl Binding as well as the TP-Link Smart Home Binding on both.
On the OH4 box I have a “Cloud-Login” thing but it is not present on the OH5 box so I am unable to configure the bridge.
What do I need to do to get the Cloud-Login to show on the OH5 box?
I don’t know this binding but typically when a binding has a connection to a cloud server the process is to go to MainUI → Things → + → Binding name → Click the thing with “bridge”, “account”, or something like that in the name. Manually configure that Thing and save based on the docs for the Thing. Once saved, if you return to the inbox it should have discovered the Things that you can reach through that account.
The problem is that there is no bridge thing (Cloud-Login) to click on for the OH5 machine. Your procedure works as expected on the OH4 box. I recall struggling to get it working, but took no notes.
This relates to my question about separate cloud accounts in our other thread.
OH4 machine:
OH5 machine:
If you’ve not manually created the bridge Thing, there won’t be one to click on from MainUI → Settings → Things.
You have to manually configure it.
MainUI → Settings → Things → +
Then select “Cloud Login”
Fill out all the relevant information and click “Create Thing”
Only after doing that will you have a Cloud-Login Thing listed under MainUi → Settings → Things. It’s not created nor discovered automatically.
That was it! Thank you again!
I guess it should have been obvious but for me it wasn’t. Initially I got a conflict error but after changing the UID slightly the bridge came online.
