Thanks, @sihui. I did find details in the forum, and I’ve tried to follow the procedures – and it’s not at all behaving as described! I’m deeply frustrated at this point, please bear with my explanation.
Here’s what I’ve done so far. I’m running on a raspberry pi with raspbian, installed through apt-get.
- Cloned the entire SSD with clonezilla (as a backup)
- Uninstalled the Z-Wave binding in PaperUI
- sudo service openhab2 shutdown
- rm -rf /var/lib/openhab2/cache
- rm -rf /var/lib/openhab2/tmp
- Then I placed org.openhab.binding.zwave-2.5.0-SNAPSHOT.jar in /usr/share/openhab2/addons
- sudo service openhab2 start
…No Z-wave binding at all. I waited a while, no binding.
Then I read some more forum posts and found that I must add it into addons.cfg, so I added it:
binding = zwave,ntp,astro
Now Z-Wave Binding appears in the Paper UI list, but it’s 2.4.0! It did not use the new jar file.
On a hunch, I renamed the file to org.openhab.binding.zwave.jar, uninstalled the binding again, and stopped openhab2, deleted cache/tmp, started openhab2 again. STILL installs as 2.4.0!
So then I went to the karaf console.
bundle, list
ZWave binding shows as 2.4.0.
So I uninstalled it through karaf.
Then looked up help for install.
bundle:install [options] urls
Okay, so it wants a URL. Fine, I’ll let it download by itself:
It thinks for a while (obviously downloading the JAR file) and then …
Bundle IDs:
Error executing command: Error installing bundles:
Unable to install bundle https://ci.openhab.org/job/openHAB2-Bundles/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/bindings/org.openhab.binding.zwave/target/org.openhab.binding.zwave-2.5.0-SNAPSHOT.jar: org.osgi.framework.BundleException: A bundle is already installed with the name “org.openhab.binding.zwave” and version “2.5.0.201906161432”
!!!
Now this is when frustration starts to set in. IT’S NOT INSTALLED. I just uninstalled it. And what I uninstalled was 2.4.0. WTF.
Now I’m not sure exactly what I did – I thought maybe it was a permissions issue so i chmod’ed the jar file to 777 in …/addons, then i deleted it and downloaded it through wget on the pi (the first time I had copied it over to the pi using samba and then used mc (midnight commander) to copy it to …/addons).
At one point, in the karaf console, Z-Wave binding 2.5.x did show up in the installed bundle list… but the paper UI still claimed Z-Wave binding 2.4.0.
So, I figured it needed a restart, so sudo service openhab2 restart
And then again it came back up as 2.4.0 (in paper ui) and again as 2.4.0 in karaf bundle list!
So, that’s where I am now, with the same joyous feeling of utter defeat I had during my first few days of trying to get openHAB to do anything at all…
It’s just not working for me. How the heck do I get it to accept the 2.5.0 snapshot binding??
Help, please?
