As a homeowner with a growing interest in smart home automation, I’ve been diving into the world of ZigBee devices and their integration with my openHAB setup. While exploring the logs, I stumbled upon a peculiar issue that I wanted to share and seek advice on.
Recently, I noticed that my ZigBee devices were generating debug logs even though I explicitly disabled this setting in the openHAB configuration. The logs were flooding my system with detailed packet information, which, while fascinating from a technical standpoint, was overwhelming and unnecessary for my current setup. Here’s a snippet of what I encountered:
plaintext
11:32:39.131 [DEBUG] [531.network.impl.CommandInterfaceImpl] - → AF_DATA_REQUEST (Packet: subsystem=null, length=15, apiId=24 01, data=FE 0F 24 01 D1 DD 0B 01 00 03 5E 30 1F 05 00 5E 00 01 00 04, checksum=04, error=false)
11:32:39.261 [DEBUG] [531.network.impl.CommandInterfaceImpl] - ← AF_DATA_SRSP (FE 01 64 01 00 64)
Despite disabling debug logging through the log:set command for the ZigBee binding, these logs persisted. I’m curious if this is a known behavior or if there’s a more effective way to suppress these logs without compromising the functionality of my ZigBee devices.
For those who might be experiencing similar issues, here are a few steps I’ve taken and would recommend:
- Review Log Configuration: Double-check the logging levels in your openHAB instance to ensure debug logging is disabled for the relevant bindings.
- Filter Logs: Utilize log filtering tools or scripts to parse and exclude unnecessary debug information from your logs.
- Community Support: Engage with the community forums to share experiences and seek solutions from more experienced users.
I’d love to hear if others have encountered this or similar issues and how they’ve managed to resolve them. Your insights could be invaluable for both newcomers and those looking to optimize their smart home setups!
Thanks for your time and assistance, and happy automating!
