Calling Thing Acttions from a blockly rule

[TrapperJohn (Paul)]

Hi,

I have a bluelink Car connected to my openhab and would like to start the heating/ cooling from a blockly rule.

The Car only accepts thing actions to do that. When calling the actions directly from the thing page everything works. How can I integrate this action into a switch in the UI?

You don’t need to write a script to run a Thing action at all. Just add an action to the rule, and click “Show All”:

This will display a list of all available actions, including those provided by Things:

Just pick the action you want the rule to use, fill in the parameters, and save.

Thank you. That was the solution I was looking for. However due to some reason unknown to me I get an error message when I add the action.

If I execute the same action directly from the thing it works. Can someone help me or could this be a problem with the binding?
