Hey guys, I am running OH2 on a Raspberry PI 3. Since I came to OH2 from OH1, I wanted to have all my configuration defined in text files (so that I could version control my configs). The problem is that when I try to update configuration parameter of Aeon Labs HEM device, I always end up getting t…

Thanks for a fast reply, @sihui ! I am not quite following what you’re saying… Are you proposing that I: Remove the thing from *.things file Add thing using HABmin Update my device config Remove thing via HABmin Re-Add thing in my *.things file Does that sound right?

[image] djerusalimsky: I am not quite following what you’re saying You did not ask for a step by step tutorial. But yes, remove everything defined through text files, let the things be autodiscovered and configure them: the usual way in openHAB2 and much easier than text files … And if deal…

[image] sihui: You did not ask for a step by step tutorial I know :slight_smile: Just making sure that my understanding of your directions is correct :slight_smile: Thanks for the help!

[image] djerusalimsky: Use HABmin to update device configuration parameters Yepp, correct. [image] djerusalimsky: I want to maintain my git repo with OH configs and I don’t think that it is easily achievable today with OH2 autodiscovery approach. Correct. You can’t have both, unfortu…

[image] djerusalimsky: Update my device config Remove thing via HABmin Re-Add thing in my *.things file Now I got it: if you just want to change the config of your devices once, this could be the way to go. I was also thinking about that a while ago, but because parameters need to be chang…

[image] sihui: I don’t know If there is another way to do some versioning through git via JsonDB (which then contains all your things, channels, item linking to channels). Maybe a quick search in the forum gives some answers. I’ll do some research. But, based on what I’ve seen in that file, i…
