Where can I download the TP-Link 2.x binding/openHAB2-addons.kar file

[meingraham (Michael Ingraham)]

Disclaimer - I am still running openHAB 2.5

I need to install the TP-Link binding. I used TP-Link devices in the past, got rid of them, but recently got some… but can’t install the binding any more. I found an article that mentioned downloading the openHAB2-addons.kar file and setting remote=false so that openHAB installs addons from this local “repository”.

I am not able to find this file on the web. Where can I find this file? Or, alternatively, where can I find the TP-Link binding bundle?

Thanks.

Where can I find this file?

As linked from bottom of v3 “Download” page

Download openHAB

Missing from that reference is the additional “legacy” kar, should you need any v1.x add-ons

Where do to download 1.x bindings?

@JohnnyX I’m not sure which .kar file you downloaded. For the openhab 1.x bindings you need the openhab-addons-legacy-2.*.kar file. I did some searching and found version 2.5.12 (and older versions) on maven. It seems to contain version 1.14.0 of the knx binding. https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/openhab/distro/openhab-addons-legacy/2.5.12/

jFrog is asking me for login credentials when I access the JFrog link. I don’t have a jFrog account and it doesn’t provide a “registration” link. It takes me to a page to try a free trial. Before I go that route to be able to grab these assets, is this the right route or is there a set of “public” credentials for openHAB users?

Just click the “X” in the top right corner to bypass the JFrog login screen.

You can also download these KAR files using the 2.5.12 release page on GitHub:

Release openHAB 2.5.12 · openhab/openhab-distro

If you didn’t get the kar file. If the eclipse marketplace still works in openHAB 2.x, you could try to install that version of the TP-Link binding. Or alternative install the jar from my release: Release TP-Link Bugfix/New Feature release · Hilbrand/openhab-addons · GitHub

P.s. I’ve updated the tag in this topic as that tag is intended to publish for the openHAB marketplace.

@wborn

Just click the “X”

Duh - thanks! And thanks for the alternative link.

[meingraham (Michael Ingraham)]

Thanks.

I’ll give it (or the others) a try this weekend.

Cheers!

I was not able to get this to work.

I am running the openhabian install in a RaspberryPi.

I’m not certain where I should place the kar file…

I downloaded the file from https://github.com/openhab/openhab-distro/releases/download/2.5.12/openhab-addons-legacy-2.5.12.kar

On my install, there is a /srv mount containing

openhab2-addons/
openhab2-conf/
openhab2-logs/
openhab2-sys/
openhab2-userdata/

In the file /srv/openhab2-conf/services/addons.cfg I have set the remote = false flag.

I tried placing the kar file in the openhab2-addons folder.
I tried creating an addons folder under openhab2-conf (openhab2-conf/addons) and placing the kar file there.

Regardless of what I have tried, openHAB continues to try to install the binding from mvn:org.openhab.addons.bundles rather than from the kar file.

What am I doing wrong?
