Thanks Igor

#6

I still get it not working. Have you checked it with OH2 already?

#7

Yes, it is working for me. I couldn’t find the reason why it wouldn’t yet.
Do you have authentication enabled to access those images in all 3 cases?

#8

Hi I believe I know the problem see below:

grafik

The link looks a bit strange. Is this as it should be? Why it is not starting directly with the http://

The item contains the following value:
http://192.168.0.10/snapshot.cgi

#9

And your OH instance is not on http://192.168.0.10, since you connect through myopenhab, correct?

#10

I am now in local mode. As I thought the myopenhab is the problem.

#11

ok, and what host (exactly) you entered when configuring platform for local access?

#12

http://192.168.0.24:8080 is OH2 Host

#13

I have the same problem where it is putting “api” stuff at the front of my url to the image.

#14

This is fixed for the Preview 23 release

#15

Hi Igor,

the link looks now good, but the background is not loaded over myopenhab connection. Should this work?

myopenhab link: https://home.myopenhab.org/static/rotini/living-room.jpg

#16

@rene54321 I didn’t specially check for myopenhab URLs, but can you access that image normally through browser?
If it does work with browser, I’m thinking maybe auth is a problem then.

#17

Hi,

yes I believe that is the problem. I am only able to load the jpg after authenticating with myopenhab. I use myopenhab connection as Rotini platform to be able to access all items over 4G without VPN to my home, so I thought this is also working as getting the item states.

best regards René

#18

@rene54321 yes, it should’ve worked. Assuming you have https://home.myopenhab.org part included in the item state, can you try without it? E.g. /static/rotini/living-room.jpg

#19

Hi

The item contains this link:

https://home.myopenhab.org/static/rotini/living-room.jpg

If I open this link in the browser I need to authticate. After successful authentication the Screenshot is loaded.

#20

Can you try putting relative link as item value: /static/rotini/living-room.jpg?

#21

Hi,

I have tried this right now. Without the http:// at the beginning I get again this api stuff:

api://platformsdfasfsfasfasdfasdfafs//static/rotini/living-room.jpg

#22

Yes, that’s an app internal URL, so that’s good, but it still didn’t work?

#23

I just tried this feature with widget background together with openhab. At least with the local connection it’s working for me. What I have done:

Item:
String Background_Erdgeschoss “Background Erdgeschoss”

Rule:
// Systemstart
rule “Load Pictures”
when
System started
then
Background_Erdgeschoss.postUpdate ("/static/erdgeschoss.jpg")
end

#24

OK, it’s not working 100% also for me…
@igor maybe it helps: in my case i can see the image after widget configuration. but as soon as I restart rotini the background is not there anymore.
