Try this URL:
http://localhost:1980/icon/fire1?format=png&anyFormat=true

You’re not supposed to be able to fetch icon images directly. @Wolfgang_S URL goes to an icon-picker service embedded in openHAB, that selects and supplies images based on the parameters given.
Note that one of the parameters needs to be [an Item] - wrong, my mistake, an item state
The picker serves up the relevant icon for that Item state.

If you want to give access to files, including images, they go in your /html folder.

Hi Wolfgang,
I will try your solution when i get home soon.
Rossko, as per my post, you can see that I have already tried putting files in the html folder, which doesn’t work - I’m guessing due to me running this as a service on Windows 10.
Thanks,

Hi Wolfgang,
Your suggestion didn’t work either.
However, after further investigation, I can confirm it is related to openHAB running as a service.
Maybe a config issue in the wrapper config???
Running OpenHAB from command line (start.bat)
http://localhost:1980/static/fire1.png <— works
Running it again as a service and the link doe NOT work any more.

Any suggestions on fixing this?

Thanks,
Richie

Hi,
Solved it.
It was an issue with the keyboard-seat interface (me)
I thought I’d followed the Windows steps, but failed to copy the contents into the wrapper.conf file - i just changed couple of things instead.
Once I copied the contents (only changing the http ports) it suddenly started working correctly.
Sorry for wasting everyone’s time.

Thanks,
Richie
