OpenHab No Response

[Masondb]

I am new to OpenHab.  I am using the gateway from instructables.  The light sensor is communicating to the gateway, I know that is good. The gateway reports that is it connected to mqtt. When the value changes openhab does not change. I see the value change on the gateway and it says it is sending to openhab.  But openhab does not change.

You should move over to computourist's code. Its running here for months at a time.

I agree with greginkansas. The Uber Instructable is inspiring but has some kinks.

The computourist version has been more reliable.

In this thread, I've given some detailed documentation on following that computourist approach.
