All things failing with No custom converter exists

[silverman10]

All of my things started to fail with this message. I havent made any changes to the system in the last couple of days and it all started to throw these errors.

Note : i updated to the latest 2.2 SNAPSHOT this weekend.

Checked the status and looks like the smartthings platform was down. Its come back online and its working.

Would it be possible to add a more appropriate error in cases like these?

Hi: Sorry for the delayed response. I've given some thought to you question and when time permits I'll see what can be done. Commands are sent to the hub with html requests. According to the html standard the receiving device should provide a response. But, that's not the way the hub work. It does not respond. That right there makes it somewhat difficult. One possibility would be to have something that runs on the hub that sends "I'm alive" messages to openHab. Then maybe I could code something in openHab that expects a response every so often and if it doesn't get one it could log an error message.

Right now I am in the process of moving and my time for anything else is quite limited. I'll keep thinking of solutions but probably won't have time to try to implement anything for at least a couple of months.
