Have to manually restart homebridge after every server rebooot to get back devices

[hartmood]

Describe the bug After rebooting the server all openhab-complete items I defined in my config.json are gone. I have to manually restart homebridge via console in order to get them back. They all appear in the standard room then and have to be manually re-assigned to the appropriate rooms.

Expected behavior Homebridge should start with all items after reboot.

Configurations Please paste the configuration of:

• Homebridge (Default path: ~/.homebridge/config.json) https://timleland.com/setup-homebridge-to-start-on-bootup/ /var/homebridge/

Environment (please complete the following information): Openhabian RPI - NPM installation - homebridge latest release

Maybe it is also related to changes of config.json. Either devices get lost (homebridge restart to get them back) and / or connection to rooms are lost and have to be re-assigned or it is a combination of all of that.

I added a delay of 30s for the homebridge service to start which at least seems to have solved the "missing devices issue" - nevertheless assigning rooms for all devices after changes in config.json is pretty annoying.

What's your log saying upon the reboot of your server? This behavior never happened to me and my system is frequently restarted (for development reasons).

I have moved the installation to another machine to get rid of the problem. Even with adding a delay to the boot sequence I was not successful. Thanks.

So is this issue fixed/did you find a workaround?

[hartmood]

The issue is fixed for me as I use two different machines which don't run into conflicts anymore. :-)

All right, thanks for the feedback!

I have the same issue on a clean Raspbian install with just openhab2 and homebridge as well as this plugin installed.

I only have 2 outlets and 2 simple lights within my config:

{
            "platform": "openHAB2-Complete",
            "host": "http://raspberrypi4.fritz.box",
            "port": "8080",
            "accessories": [
                {
                    "name": "Beleuchtung Bücherregal",
                    "type": "light",
                    "item": "mqtt_sonoff_BeleuchtungBCherregal"
                },
                {
                    "name": "Beleuchtung Fernseher",
                    "type": "light",
                    "item": "mqtt_sonoff_BeleuchtungTV"
                },
                {
                    "name": "3D-Drucker",
                    "type": "outlet",
                    "item": "ghoma_3dprinter"
                },
                {
                    "name": "Vitrine",
                    "type": "outlet",
                    "item": "ghoma_vitrine"
                }
            ]
        }

Do you have an idea what I could try to analyze the problem?

In the log I found the following lines not knowing if it has to do anything with my issue:
