Beta9-1
very often if i change something in my things-file, the entry disappears in paperui/things. i have to give a new name then thing is back again

@Bastler
Does the log show some error when it happens that the CEN thing disappears ?

[Gozilla01]

In beta 9 the same problem happens with CEN+

Do you have devices/things with the same WHERE ?
For example: light with A=3, PL=4 -> WHERE=34 and CEN+ with Id=4 -> WHERE=34

[julesbike]

I am getting the same error and yes this is where I have matching WHERE - so I have a light Actuator which is A=2 P=3 and CEN+ which is CEN=3.

I think because Openwebnet adds a 2 it is discovered as Where = 23. The light then goes Offline in Openhab because of the conflict.

I have some CEN+ which have a 2 digit number eg: 36 and these are fine because they appear as Where = 236.

I have changed all my CEN+ to 2 digits and this seems to fix the problem.

@julesbike
Are you sure you're using the bus_cenplus_scenario_control?
Post the file or a picture of the thingsn and log

Edit:
I did a test now, WHERE equal Luce and CEN +, but I can not replicate the problem. It works correctly to me

[mvalla]

if this was caused by this issue #42 (causing not correct handling of things with matching WHERE), it was corrected already in version beta9-2.
If with newer versions of the binding this issue here does not show anymore, I will close it.

[Gozilla01]

Issue #38 is still a problem, see post simulation I sent you.

[julesbike]

@Gozilla01 unfortunately I have not got the logs for the error and I have changed everything so I can't reproduce the error. I am using the following binding - which I think is the latest??

191 │ Active │ 80 │ 2.4.0.201812132158 │ OpenWebNet Binding

@julesbike Since from the timestamp you are using binding version 2.4.0-b9 (3 versions ago!) you should update the binding to the lastest version and try again.
@Gozilla01 I will look to the simulation, but I also think there are some issues with OH2 (cache?) about refreshing things, and these issues may be have been fixed in OH2.5.0

[Gozilla01]

I tried a week ago to install OH2.5.0, but too many problems and I returned to 2.4

[mvalla]

I will close this issue if no other user report this to happen again with latest binding version (2.5.0.M2-1)

[mvalla]

since this is issue appears to be not replicable and is not happening in 2.5.0, it is closed for now
