Duplicate devices when connecting to Google Home #44

Closed theov3rc0mer closed 5 years ago

theov3rc0mer commented 5 years ago

When syncing devices with Google Home everything is ok and the items marked with the correct tags appear to work fine. The problem is that I am also getting lots of duplicate devices (they appear to be duplicates of the ones I added at my rooms), which are marked with the generic name "Temperature" or "Switch". They show up under the section "In your home".

How did you create the things/items to be visible for Google Home ? Via PaperUI (auto-discovery or manually) or via things/items config files?

theov3rc0mer commented 5 years ago

Things were discovered via PaperUI and auto-discovery, items are defined manually in the .items file according to the example in the guide.

These duplicate devices should come from items created automatically by PaperUI. You can check which items you have in OH2 using:

All items here that have the correct tags, will be also exported to assistants like GH. Check your setting for Simple Mode item linking (PaperUI > Configuration > System > Item Linking) If you have SimpleMode=ON, then items have been created both when you added the Things via PaperUI and also using your .items file. (by setting SimpleMode=OFF you can go to the new Items menu and see all the Items also from there).

If you confirm, this is not an issue with the binding.

Ok it's exactly as you described. Sorry I am new to the openHab software.

this is not an issue with the binding, but a duplicate item configuration
