Hue Lighting Items Don't Show Any Channels

[Ltty]

After updating to OpenHab 3.1.0 I can't see any channels for Hue Lighting items in the channels view. The channels are still there as previously existing items linked to channels keep working, but I can't configure and set up new items.

This is only the case for light bulbs, dimmer switches, wall plugs, etc are not affected.

Any idea what might be wrong?

This looks like a question that should have been asked to the community forum. I seriously doubt there is any bug...

Please show two screen captures of your thing in MainUI, one with the Thing tab and one with the Channels tab.

How was created your thing ? Defined in a configuration file or created with MainUI ? If through MainUI, did you use the thing automatically discovered ?

• Screenshots from OH3.1.0
• Things auto discovered
• Items created in OH3 ui, no .item files

Thing tab of one of my lights:

Channel tab (with advanced checked):

But going to the item for the color channel that was previously there:

A: The channel is there
B: openHab insists the link is in an item file, but it's not, never been. Never used OH2, never used .item files.
C: 'Loading...' indicator stays for 'ever'

@cweitkamp : why did you add the "won't fix" tag?

[cweitkamp]

The root cause for this issue is PR #9856 where we replaced hue specific channel types by system default channel types. As described in #9856 (comment) managed things store channel types of channels in the internal JSON storage which will not be changed automatically after a migrating to an OH version containing this change.

As long as we do not have a solution for openhab/openhab-core#1924 in place the only way to handle this case is to delete affected things and recreate them.

Ok, that is very clear, thank you.

This issue is now open for nearly 11 months! This is very bad! You need to provide a solution. The workaround of deleting all affected things is not feasible.

In fact the issue is much older and dates back to ESH days. See the linked issue in the first post.

Yes, very old subject and clearly not something trivial.
