    @Qu3Uk: Thank you for the report. I am able to reproduce this. I suppose it is an error in my binding because some parts are started correctly. I will look into it.

      @TimO Good to know its not just me, may still be O2 it is alpha after all.

      Now to figure out these rules..

        Hi @TimO, any chance you add support to MySensors MQTT to your great work in progress ?

          How do I add this button from the paper UI ? I can´t understand what to enter in the child id, node id fields.

            @Cliff-Karlsson : Start the discovery process in the paper ui and after that restart your sensor. The sensor will represent itself while starting up and should appear in the paper ui.

              @fets: I'm not very familiar with MQTT but that should already work with the 1.X binding, or not?

                @TimO yes I think it works with manual bindins (several discussions mention it) but I meant using paper ui as you do here :)

                  Well if I add a door sensor and just enter some random node id/child Id it shows up as online. I never managed to add any sensor automatically even if I start the search process and resetting any sensors.

                  But the problem is that I can't get any reaction from the switch. I have tried connecting a button to pin 3 and also tried just connecting a cable from pin 3 to gnd. But no reaction whatever I do.

                    @Qu3Uk : Fixed the error. The sensors were initialized before the bridge was up.

                    @Cliff-Karlsson: The status of a thing in OH is not reliable and I'm yet not sure how to make it reliable because the connection between sensor and gateway is stateless, so a sensor maybe is online even if it only transmits one time per day.

                    In your case: what is the output of the "start_debug.sh"? Are there messages from the MySensors Gateway logged?

                        after OH2 restart I got "UNINITIALIZED - HANDLER_INITIALIZING_ERROR" for all already existing sensors. If I add a new sensors it works until OH2 restart

                              I'm pretty sure this time it is a bug in OH2, because my code works sometimes. :-)
                              I've found a workaround and got 10/10 clean starts of OH2 and reinitializations of the configured things.

                              Please let me know, if the error occures again!

                              Thanks for testing!!

                                  What do you want to keep updated? The OH2 runtime? The binding?

                                  I update the link of the binding (jar-file) in the first post here whenever I add or fix something. You only have to switch this jar file in your installation. In the current alpha phase it is an good idea to delete the userdata folder, but with that you will lose all already discovered and added things. I have configured all things/items that should survive a deletion of the userdata in the thing.conf, items.conf etc.

                                  For the future I plan to make a pull request so that the mysensors binding will be a fixed part of OH2, but I want to ensure its stability before I do so. Additionally there are some features I would like to add before making a pull request.

In the current alpha phase it is an good idea to delete the userdata folder, but with that you will lose all already discovered and added things. I have configured all things/items that should survive a deletion of the userdata in the thing.conf, items.conf etc.

                                      For the future I plan to make a pull request so that the mysensors binding will be a fixed part of OH2, but I want to ensure its stability before I do so. Additionally there are some features I would like to add before making a pull request.

                                      @TimO Slightly off topic but am I right in thinking even with discovered things you still have to manually create an item for the thing in the item.conf for stuff like rules to work?

                                        @Qu3Uk I asked a similar question about persistence on the OH2 forum and the response was you could set up a group and configure persistence for it. Then as the new items are dynamically found they just need to be added to the group without adding them to the config files. Possibly the same thing would work for rules.

                                          @Qu3Uk Looks like they are adding some support for this: https://community.openhab.org/t/rules-allowing-regexp-for-items-and-catching-individual-items-in-a-group/2165
