Hey everyone, I wanted to share my experience with disabling device discovery in openHAB after struggling with it for a while. I hope this helps someone else who might be facing the same issue!
So, I recently upgraded my openHAB setup, and ever since, I’ve been getting these persistent notifications about new devices, mostly Shelly devices and some virtual things from the OpenWeatherMap binding. It was getting really annoying because I’d ignore them, but they’d keep reappearing after some time, especially after a restart. I couldn’t figure out how to permanently stop this from happening.
After some research and digging through forums, I found that there’s a way to disable device discovery in openHAB. Here’s how I did it:
- Go to the Paper UI: I accessed the Paper UI by navigating to
http://your-openhab-ip:8080in my browser. - Navigate to Settings: From the Paper UI dashboard, I went to Configuration > Settings.
- Edit the Discovery Settings: Under the settings, I looked for the discovery-related configurations. There’s an option to disable automatic discovery of new devices.
- Save and Restart: After making the changes, I saved them and restarted my openHAB instance to ensure the settings took effect.
Since then, I haven’t received any new device discovery notifications. It’s been a huge relief, and my setup feels much cleaner now.
I’d love to hear if anyone else has had similar issues or if there are other methods to achieve this. Let me know your thoughts or experiences below!
