Homegear Issue after Openhab 2.3 Update

Hi, I have an issue with my homematic devices after upgrading to Openhab 2.3.

My configuration:
Raspberry 3 with HM-MOD-RPI-PCB
openHAB 2.3.0-1 (Release Build)
Homegear (version 0.7.20-1863) on the same raspberry

Behaviour:
In PaperUI all things are online but commands are not executed. I see in the logs that there seems to be a communication problem, that there is no answer from the devices.

The configuration of the Bridge was not changed. Gateway and network call back are set to the IP of the raspberry.

Here are my logs. As I am not sure what an expert would look at I have copied a bigger part of the logs in here. :slight_smile:

Like always. Any kind of help or hints would be highly appreciated. I did a lot of reading and did checked my configurations but I am stuck now.

You should upgrade to the current homegear, it’s something like 0.7.22 or so. I remember som communication issues with openHAB in some rare cases.

Hi Job. Thanks for the hint. The answer took me some time as I was trying to find out what I am doing wrong in terms of updating/upgrading the existing system. I did several apt-get upgrade and apt-get update but I am stuck at the current version. Would appreciate if you could point me to the right way how to update the system. Thanks a lot.

I managed the update (didn’t know the command apt full-upgrade). I am now on version 0.7.23-1891 and the issue is unfortunately not resolved yet.

Will check if the updates had an impact on the log files.

Issue has been fixed.

I saw this error in the homegear.log
“Setting peer to unreachable, because the queue processing was interrupted.”

I did some more research in this forum and in a similar thread I saw how a user has configured the homematicbidcos.conf and compared it with my. After uncommenting the bold sections everything is working again.
