Hello everyone, I’m excited to share my recent experience upgrading from OH3 to OH4 on my Raspberry Pi 4. The process went smoothly, and most of my configurations carried over without issues. However, there was one hiccup that piqued my curiosity: the dynamic icons I relied on for visual feedback weren’t updating as expected. Specifically, the bulb icon for my garage light remained white regardless of its actual state, while the toggle switch itself worked perfectly.
After some research, I discovered that the syntax for specifying icons in OH4 had changed slightly compared to OH3. I adjusted the widget code to align with the new requirements, and voilà! The icons now update dynamically just as they did before. This experience reinforced the importance of staying updated with platform changes and the value of community resources for troubleshooting.
If anyone else is navigating the OH4 transition or facing similar icon issues, feel free to reach out—I’d be happy to share more details or tips! Happy automating!
