SystemInfoBinding Channel: Network IP Not Functioning Properly

[miloit]

Description:
It seems that the network IP functionality for the SystemBinding channel is no longer working as expected. Additionally, defining the network interface appears to be either broken or not possible, causing further issues with configuration. The functionality does not seem to behave as intended under certain circumstances.

Steps to Reproduce:

Attempt to configure the SystemBinding channel with a specific network IP.
Try to define or select a network interface for the channel.
Observe that the network interface cannot be defined correctly or results in an error.
Network-related functionality does not work as expected after the configuration.
Expected Behavior:
The SystemBinding channel should allow the proper definition of a network interface and use the provided network IP without issues.

Actual Behavior:
Defining a network interface is either not possible or results in an error. The network IP functionality is broken, and the expected behavior doesn't occur.

Environment:

Version: OH4.3.2
Network Setup:

br-ae4f57fdeda5
docker0
eth0
lo
veth6ae8b01
vethc80153f
vethe07ef92
vethf7407f2
wlan0

Additional Context:
This issue seems to have started recently or after [mention any recent changes, updates, etc., if applicable]. Logs do not indicate any obvious error, but the behavior deviates from expectations, especially with the inability to define the network interface.

Potential Impact:
This issue could impact systems relying on specific network interfaces and IP configurations for communication, potentially causing disruptions in operations.

Proposed Solution :
Select correct interface for openhab which to show in my case wlan0

Did this work in OH 4.3.0 or 4.3.1? What is the last version that worked without problems?

[lolodomo]

SystemBinding ?
You mean the system info binding?

Can't comment for sure but it was okay in oh4.1...in this I moved over to dietpi than I realized it

I am still not sure I understand your issue. The channels on the SystemInfo binding are dynamic. If the binding detects multiple network interfaces, it should create multiple channel groups (numbered) for each interface, each containing 3 channels (IP, networkName and networkDisplayName). Is that not what you see? So it is a question about picking the right channels in your configuration.

If that is not what you are seeing, please describe in detail what you are doing and provide the error you get.

If configure it in a file it looks like this

[mherwege]

Please show your file configuration. It is difficult to find the cause if you show an empty screenshot.
Did you try removing the file thing configuration? As I wrote, the channels are dynamic. Unless you use exactly what is discovered through the dynamic channel discovery, that configuration is not going to work.

[miloit]

Here is the config

Thing systeminfo:computer:systeminfo_smarthome [interval_high=30, interval_medium=60]

In your screenshot, did you swipe to the left and look at the available channels?

I can't swipe to left or right. But I can define the channels in the items file and it's running.

This behavior is only for the system info binding all others are running correctly with a screen

[mherwege]

Did you try if it works if you do not configure in a file, but in the UI directly?

I don't use file base configuration for things myself, so I may be missing something. But I also didn't hear issues with it before. Therefore I want to make sure it is because of that. I have this binding running with a UI based configuration without issues.

[miloit]

Yes with the ui everything works fine

Should I move it to core or webui
