OpenHAB UI Not operating

#1

I’ve been following along up until this point. So far so good, I’ve got a flashed blinds control board/servo that I can operate on MQTT but can’t seem to operate through OpenHAB.
I initially had trouble flashing the boards but used the second most recent Library and it worked! In openHab, my icons don’t seem to be laying out as they should and the slider is not operational, as well as no “open”, “half”, “close” switches.
Total Newbie, please advise.

I have the same situation with the door alarm. I can see my door switch open and close in Windows MQTT however it does not yield a response in Openhab. I am using a Raspberry Pi Zero W and thought I would try the Raspberry Pi 3 as suggested. If I am successful I will post my findings.

#3

Reboot the system, must work.

#4

I have rebooted many times. Also rechecked the setup total process several times.
I am considering giving Home Assistant a try.

#5

Have you all installed the MQTT Binding and configured it in openhab?

#6

Yes I did as per the instructions.

I spared up a Rasp Pi 3 and reprogrammed it with Matts instructions.
I would like to refer to text instructions in https://www.mksmarthouse.com/setupinstallationwindows
refer to
Connecting The MQTT Mosquito server to OpenHAB 2:

5. Next to where it says MQTT Binding click install wait for it to install

Instead!!

3A Click on BINDINGS<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
In the search box type in MQTT
Next to where it says MQTT Binding click install wait for it to install
This may be an Openhabian change since Matt wrote the directions but if you do a search without first selecting BINDINGS it will display MQTT ACTION

Before, bindings was the default tab, now it’s alphabetical.

#9

The MQTT Binding you will find in the Addons -> Bindings section

Check your items file, it is probably a syntax error. I also started getting this recently. The most common thing is the quotation marks are not plain text when you paste them in. Whatever you pasted in delete its quotation marks and manually type them from your keyboard.
