Add instructions for manual JAR installation #103

Open seb-ster opened 3 years ago

seb-ster commented 3 years ago

Since this project relies on manual installation of the binding. I would like to suggest adding a set of instructions on how to do this.

The OpenHAB documentation provides some information on manual installation. But on my Openhabian 3.0.1 Build atleast the path for manual installation did not exist.

I would appreciate to get some feedback from the Openocean documentation on what kind of results/effects one would see after placing the JAR in the correct folder. Maybe even some tips on trouble shooting when things go wrong.

I realize this could also be added to the official openHAB docs, but i have the feeling they more or less discourage adding stuff manually.

For my installation I tried creating the path manually and downloading the latest JAR (2.5.2) into it with WGET. This appeared to not have any effect. No log entries, no package in the feature:list.

After moving the JAR to the regular addons folder atleast I get a log entry informing me there was an error while starting the bundle.

From some Googeling it appears that it have been changes to Namespaces with OH3 and that might be the cause of the issue. I would be happy to open a separate Issue for this.

Hi @seb-ster

good points. The current release 2.5.2 does not work with OH3. I will update the release and the docs this weekend. Thanks a lot for your hints 👍

Best regards Daniel
