Vagn

@Pauli AnttilaThank you very much for your fast support. This version works immediately, and I could add 3 controllers instantly and everything seems to work fine. Ones again, thank you for your great work it is really really appreciated.

I have now tried adding a third controller, but then both second and third controller stand in INITILAZING forever. However, I have found that if I change something on the THING object, for example, the controller name, the controller goes ONLINE immediately. But at the same time, Controller 1 stops responding and some ERROR appears in the log. See the added Log below. Please advise. The log shows that I add “controller 1” as a THING. Adds an OUTPUT to ITEMS. Turn OFF and ON the OUTPUT and it works fine. Then I add “controller 2” and it goes in INITILAZING, nothing happens in the log. Then I change the name of “controller 2” which then goes ONLINE. Then I try to change OUTPUT on “controller 1” but it is not responding, and ERROR is in the log. 2018-09-01 19:06:25.296 [hingStatusInfoChangedEvent] - 'ihc:controller:608e3097' changed from UNINITIALIZED to INITIALIZING 2018-09-01 19:06:25.559 [hingStatusInfoChangedEvent] - 'ihc:controller:608e3097' changed from INITIALIZING to OFFLINE (BRIDGE_OFFLINE): Initializing communication to the IHC / ELKO controller 2018-09-01 19:06:25.560 [WARN ] [.ihc.ws.projectfile.ProjectFileUtils] - Error occured when read project file from file '/var/lib/openhab2/ihc-project-file-608e3097.xml', reason /var/lib/openhab2/ihc-project-file-608e3097.xml (No such file or directory) 2018-09-01 19:06:31.586 [me.event.ThingUpdatedEvent] - Thing 'ihc:controller:608e3097' has been updated. 2018-09-01 19:06:31.875 [hingStatusInfoChangedEvent] - 'ihc:controller:608e3097' changed from OFFLINE (BRIDGE_OFFLINE): Initializing communication to the IHC / ELKO controller to ONLINE 2018-09-01 19:06:59.394 [ome.event.ItemUpdatedEvent] - Item 'IHCELKOController1_Outputs_HelleHelleWireSpot607Udgang' has been updated. 2018-09-01 19:07:00.226 [.ItemChannelLinkAddedEvent] - Link 'IHCELKOController1_Outputs_HelleHelleWireSpot607Udgang-ihc:controller:608e3097:outputs#155995' has been added. 2018-09-01 19:07:07.665 [vent.ItemStateChangedEvent] - IHCELKOController1_Outputs_HelleHelleWireSpot607Udgang changed from NULL to ON 2018-09-01 19:07:10.726 [ome.event.ItemCommandEvent] - Item 'IHCELKOController1_Outputs_HelleHelleWireSpot607Udgang' received command OFF 2018-09-01 19:07:10.746 [vent.ItemStateChangedEvent] - IHCELKOController1_Outputs_HelleHelleWireSpot607Udgang changed from ON to OFF 2018-09-01 19:07:11.782 [ome.event.ItemCommandEvent] - Item 'IHCELKOController1_Outputs_HelleHelleWireSpot607Udgang' received command ON 2018-09-01 19:07:11.795 [vent.ItemStateChangedEvent] - IHCELKOController1_Outputs_HelleHelleWireSpot607Udgang changed from OFF to ON 2018-09-01 19:07:12.328 [vent.ItemStateChangedEvent] - IHCELKOController1_Outputs_HelleHelleWireSpot607Udgang changed from ON to OFF 2018-09-01 19:07:12.357 [vent.ItemStateChangedEvent] - IHCELKOController1_Outputs_HelleHelleWireSpot607Udgang changed from OFF to ON 2018-09-01 19:07:34.136 [hingStatusInfoChangedEvent] - 'ihc:controller:9c845dba' changed from UNINITIALIZED to INITIALIZING 2018-09-01 19:07:53.864 [me.event.ThingUpdatedEvent] - Thing 'ihc:controller:9c845dba' has been updated. 2018-09-01 19:07:54.116 [hingStatusInfoChangedEvent] - 'ihc:controller:9c845dba' changed from INITIALIZING to OFFLINE (BRIDGE_OFFLINE): Initializing communication to the IHC / ELKO controller 2018-09-01 19:07:54.116 [WARN ] [.ihc.ws.projectfile.ProjectFileUtils] - Error occured when read project file from file '/var/lib/openhab2/ihc-project-file-9c845dba.xml', reason /var/lib/openhab2/ihc-project-file-9c845dba.xml (No such file or directory) 2018-09-01 19:07:55.234 [me.event.ThingUpdatedEvent] - Thing 'ihc:controller:9c845dba' has been updated. 2018-09-01 19:07:55.558 [hingStatusInfoChangedEvent] - 'ihc:controller:9c845dba' changed from OFFLINE (BRIDGE_OFFLINE): Initializing communication to the IHC / ELKO controller to ONLINE 2018-09-01 19:08:03.014 [ome.event.ItemCommandEvent] - Item 'IHCELKOController1_Outputs_HelleHelleWireSpot607Udgang' received command OFF 2018-09-01 19:08:03.038 [vent.ItemStateChangedEvent] - IHCELKOController1_Outputs_HelleHelleWireSpot607Udgang changed from ON to OFF 2018-09-01 19:08:03.172 [ERROR] [enhab.binding.ihc.handler.IhcHandler] - Can't update channel 'ihc:controller:608e3097:outputs#155995' value, cause 2018-09-01 19:08:06.836 [ome.event.ItemCommandEvent] - Item 'IHCELKOController1_Outputs_HelleHelleWireSpot607Udgang' received command ON 2018-09-01 19:08:06.859 [vent.ItemStateChangedEvent] - IHCELKOController1_Outputs_HelleHelleWireSpot607Udgang changed from OFF to ON 2018-09-01 19:08:07.036 [ERROR] [enhab.binding.ihc.handler.IhcHandler] - Can't update channel 'ihc:controller:608e3097:outputs#155995' value, cause

This new binding works exceptionally. Many thanks for the work done so far. I have tried to add a second controller, but when it is added, it gets the status of INITIALIZING, then no further happens. If I delete the first controller, the status of the secondary immediately changes to ONLINE. If I then add the first controller again, it will get the status of INITIALIZING. What did I miss? Please advice.

I have 2 ihc controllers installed in my house. One of them runs well against openhab2. Is it possible to configure the binding so it can communicate with the second controller as well?
