Do you know if there are more issues with the item linking?
There was also a discussion about a regression introduced by #1385.

This is not at all related to item links (the openHAB concept) and thus not related to #1385.
It is about the "link" field within the REST API responses, see openhab/openhab-android#2139 for details.

Yes I understand that. When I did my most recent testing the linking appeared to be buggy but I had no time to further investigate the root cause. So I don't know if it was caused by #1385 or some other issue like this one. Therefor I postponed updating my secondary OH instance to OH3. 😉

This issue here is hopefully my last "major" bug that I have encountered.
It really helped my to upgrade my (one and only) production system to really have the urge to debug and fix stuff - I can highly recommend doing so and I plan to push all of you to do the same very soon, so be warned 😎 .

Thanks for fixing it!

I don't mind running it on my secondary instance when the linking works. But for my main instance I will first implement a WoL action (openhab/openhab-addons#3799) or I wouldn't be able to turn on my desktop PC using voice commands. 😄

Cool ;) I'm using the exec binding to run wakeonlan <mac> but would definitely prefer an action ;)
