Please increase the websocket text message size to be above 337921 (e.g. 500000) in binding advanced parameters.
More details about that are in readme file in the repo.

The other warnings about unresolvable modules are suspicious. They may indicate something is wrong with the installation. but let's see if increasing the message helps. If it does not but these warnings persist I recommend repeat the installation with full removal of the previous version using Karaf console. This is described in the wiki.

Please let me know how it goes
thanks!

I dont see websocket size under show more under paper ui

[Gast]

Oh, I know what is happening, this is my fault. I uploaded the old binding to the release! It should be 2.2.0-3 but is 2.1.0-3. I fixed that, now it has the correct version uploaded. Please upgrade.
Thanks for helping me figure out that error and sorry for inconveniece.

Just updated and Miniserver shows online 😂

[Rar9]

Pablo I use the Status Block to overview all Window and Licht States. Openhab seams to have quite some delay updating this information vs Loxone app. Anything that can be tweaked?

How much delay do you see?
There may be tens of reasons where this delay is introduced. If you can, you may enable debug information (https://github.com/ppieczul/org.open...g-instructions) and look at the log file when you manipulate switches (sudo tee /var/log/openhab2/openhab.log). There you should see if the logs appear immediately or where the delay is introduced. Based on the point, we may be able to tune it or not.

I just connect again and get UNINITIALIZED (HANDLER MISSING ERROR)

The openhab.log shows

[DEBUG] [openhab.binding.loxone.core.LxServer] - [3] Websocket connect failed, retrying after pause
[DEBUG] [openhab.binding.loxone.core.LxServer] - [3] Server connecting to websocket
[DEBUG] [enhab.binding.loxone.core.LxWsClient] - [3] Closing websocket session, reason : Attempt to connect a websocket in non-idle state: CLOSING

Rebooting is not helping.

Still having this problem?

Hi,
first of all great job.

The folder /etc/openhab2/items/loxone.items doesn't exist, do i have do configure it manually?

There will be only switches available. Alexa openhab binding does not support anything else but lighting switches and thermostats.
Please read the README.md file in the repo, there are two methods of configuration described: automatic and throug .items file. They are mutually exclusive.

I am happy to announce that the Loxone binding has been upstreamed and now is part of the openHAB 2.2.x stream.

2.2.x stream is currently the development mainstream of openHAB that is targeted at the next future release of openHAB. You can download it following the instructions for the "Snapshot Release" on Linux Installation page.

Upstreamed version has one limitation comparing to the 2.2.0-3 version hosted on my page:

• Lighting controllers and radio buttons do not have automatically populated scene and button selection labels to the channel options. In the UI, a drop down list of selectable values will not be available. All commands for the channels of these blocks should work fine. If selection labels are important, user has to define them manually in the sitemap. This limitation is due to the need for redesign of parts of the openHAB to support this feature in a proper way.

Hi Pablo,

so far i read the forum the openhab Alexa binidng can also handle dimmer, raffstores,.. Unfortunetly I am very new in openhab. Can you give me a example, how a thing can be manually added in *.items. I want to understand the syntax for loxone items..

BR

There is an example at the end of readme file: https://github.com/openhab/openhab2-...binding.loxone
Please let me know if more information is needed.

[Rar9]

Hi Pablo,

Under things I can not add Dimmer to items. (blue circle buttons does nothing)

Switches are fine.

Last beta config 9.1.10.9
Snapshot 2.20 #1062

Hi,
Can you describe in more details what you are trying to do - which UI and what steps to reproduce?
Thanks
Pawel

Hi Pablo!

Many thanks for your great job! It is magic :-)

I installed snapshot openhab2 from

https://openhab.jfrog.io/openhab/openhab-linuxpkg unstable main

I understood the addons include your latest loxone binding.

Everything works smooth, loxone miniserver is recognized, channels are available (switch, dimmer, rollershutter). In the control section I can control everything!

I connect alexa with openhab, there I see only the switches (lighting). I do not see dimmer or rollershutter. Is this not supported or do I do something wrong?

Hi. It was not supported. But I have not checked in a while the Alexa binding so maybe it can be supported now. I will take a look. Thanks for your feedback!

[HALLO01]

According to the docu https://github.com/openhab/openhab-alexas it should work:
In addition you can tag Rollershutter items by [ "Switchable" ] and get support for setPercentage, incrementPercentageand decrementPercentage commands.
