Sorry Developers,
But I think it’s time to say goodby to Openhab.
For the third time after an update I had to reinstall the whole server because of missing Java libraries (I have used openhabian before, now I switched to docker).
Then after the new installation and restoring of my old config files. Over 50 % of the bindings are failing.
Nearly nothing works!
On that occasion I thought that before I could get the old V1 bindings running again, I would switch to V2.
Then I came out of the frying pan and came out in the fire.
OWFS binding -> nothing works! Maybe it just doesn’t work because I have too many sensors in my house with 150?
Then I tried the new MQTT Binding. After 2 days of frustrating trial and error if found a forum thread, with the comment of a developer that the required property is not included up to now. Then I had 2 items partly working! But after restarting the docker image the bridge reports “UNINITIALIZED - HANDLER_INITIALIZING_ERROR java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException: Algorithm is missing” Äh, It has worked before restarting the docker image and now an Algorithm is missing? Probably got eaten by a mouse?
BTW: I restarted it, because the Fritzbox binding suddendly was no more able not connect to the Fritzbox. This worked after the restart again but not for long!
Before I used Openhab, I have programed all by myself in python, node-red and javascript and I will go back to this. Because that way my work won’t be destroyed by any updates.
I’m a IT hardware developer, working with C, Python, SQL, javascript etc. but I have no knowledge in JAVA.
Unfortunately nobody told me that this is obviously necessary to work with Openhab. Pity!
Bye
Erich
