Special in this case: i got a second problem when i use more lights in other rooms… in Alexa appears now for every lightbulb the same name “lux light - an/aus - Farbwechsel etc.” impossible to switch them then…
Thats how mine looks like. And it works fine for me (including Alexa). But I have trouble understanding, what exactly you are trying to achieve. So a specific problem statement would be highly appreciated
could you also show me a snipped of your sitemap where you have embedded the lights?
Also please tell me what did you say to alexa to turn a bulb red, back to white or change the color temperature
And to answer you question…
I understand that you have trouble to understand me.
but ill try to keep it simple…
Open your browser with openhab and open PaperUI and Menu Control
now try to label the elements from english to german and shorten the names
also look at: wordwrap, lettersize and element floating
I think you will end like me…
but ill end in one conclusion… this label things are not made for the Paper UI / i think its not possible to label the elements in Paper UI…
Its made for showing up nice in the Sitemap
When i am wrong and all this could be make looking fine on Paper UI please tell me how
@hannes.dinges the PaperUI was never designed to be a user interface, it has severe shortcomings for that and is only supposed to be used for configuration. The BasicUI or HabPanel are the user interfaces.
Edit: you may need to be careful to use “[” in your item text, this is used for formatting instructions. I never tried, but maybe you have more luck with escaping the square brackets, try \[ and \]
Hi, I do not use the color temperature with alexa, but if I remember correctly the only option right now is to tell Alexa to “Set to 30%”. If I try to tell her to set a bulb to “warmwhite” it tells me that this bulb does not support this.
It is not really necessary to tag this one with “Lighting” since Alexa can send ON / OFF and brightness commands to the color item just fine.
In consequence you can name the color item something “easy” like just “Wohnzimmer” and Alexa should understand you better. I don’t know what Alexa does with the square brackets though, so you might have to ditch them on the color item.
I cannot really help you with the interface stuff, but advice you to use either the BasicUI or the HabPanel (thats what I use)
and BTW, when copying item definitions or rules etc. into the forum use those buttons:
Sorry @hannes.dinges, I only use brackets when I am adding java formatting. I have no idea what they do when used the way you do, and as @Nicolas already mentioned, things are likely getting even more convoluted if you add an echo device to the mix.
With advance apologies for the unsolicited advice, what I always try to do is the following: start with the easiest case, add one functionality at the time, and check, and double-check that the functionality is still what I want and intent. After it works and I still have the nerve, I think about formatting and start the cycle over: one item or one change at a time.
Cumbersome…but I have spent way too much time trying to figure what went wrong where and when if I moved too fast, just because and especially when I thought I got it all …
