Using the semantic model, I can generate a basicui sitemap that shows all my lights, grouped by each room. In this example, I only included the switch control, but it can easily be extended to include dimmer/brightness, color picker, color temperature, etc.
And here’s the JRuby code to create this (requires openhab-scripting v5.15.1):
def build_lights(builder, location)
light_bulbs = [Semantics::Lightbulb, Semantics::Fan].flat_map { |tag| location.equipments(tag) }
unless light_bulbs.empty?
builder.frame label: location.label do
light_bulbs.each do |light_bulb|
builder.switch item: light_bulb.points(Semantics::Light).first || light_bulb.points(Semantics::Switch).first
end
end
end
location.locations.each { |sub_location| build_lights(builder, sub_location) }
end
sitemaps.build do
sitemap "lights", label: "Lights Control" do
text label: "Inside Lights" do |builder|
lIndoor.locations.each { |sub_location| build_lights(builder, sub_location) }}
end
text label: "Outside Lights" do |builder|
lOutdoor.locations.each { |sub_location| build_lights(builder, sub_location) }
end
end
end
In contrast, this is how I did it previously using a sitemap file:
sitemap lights label="Lights Control"
{
Group item=gInsideLights label="Inside Lights"
Group item=gOutsideLights label="Outside Lights"
}
And this is how it would look - no grouping for each room / no correlation with the semantic model. It’s just alphabetically sorted.
