  • Platform information:
  • System Information:
    • Hardware: i3/ 12GB RAM/ 2TB Raid
    • OS: Linux 6.1.0-0.deb11.21
    • Java Runtime Environment: Docker Container
    • openHAB version: 4.0.4
  • Issue of the topic:
    I’m trying to create a thing for a Janiza UMG96PA with the corresponding channels.
    With attempt 1 in the things file I get a separate thing for each thing date (very cumbersome even when inserting it into the model as equipment), especially since I might want to add another one.
    With attempt 2 I only get one thing but no channels.

Method 1 is correct. method 2 will not work.

If you want to use the items in a model, create a group and put all items in that group. Then you can put the group in the right location of your model. You can do that in your items file.

As far as i remember (I’m in no means an “expert” for ModBus, so I may be wrong) the readStart of a Thing is the offset to the poller readStart, so it should be 0 for the first thing, 2 for the second thing and so on.

Hi i try to use groups but i don’t now what i do wrong.

I use this modbus.things

I will post you examples of my text config tomorrow. But I dont use the user interface, all my config is in text files so I cant help with that.
I have a group that is called home, then the home has few member groups (example inside group and outside group ). Then for example the inside group has rooms groups and the equipment group (i.e. your device) is located in a room.

For example my pool controller, see screenshot below

Your group is actually your power meter SE-10K.

I am not sure what you want to achieve. I thought you wanted a simple way to group your items

Hi DarkoG,
The representation of the SE-10K should serve as an example of how I would like to represent the UMG96PA. I would also like to define the model via the text interface, if that is possible. Especially since I have a few other devices that I want to integrate via modbus, if I have to take over each value individually I’ll go crazy. I prefer using the keyboard rather than the mouse. :slight_smile:

(Unfortunately, I can hardly find any tutorials that deal in depth with text-based configuration.)

Hello Udo, thank you for your support, it seems that in the background it is recognized whether it is an offset or the address directly, at least I have come across both in examples. I myself use the direct address, which works very well with several devices.

I am currently wondering whether you can also use HEX values ​​in the form 0x5B00 or whether only decimal is allowed, because I have an ABB meter here where no plausible data is returned. But I cannot rule out the possibility that the used meter is defective.

Hi DarkoG,
Thank you very much, your examples helped me a lot.

Do you also define your pages directly as code? Can you give me a few tips here.

@all
Does anyone know if it is possible to control the sampling rate of a Modbus poll using a script? I would like to change the sampling rate for a short time for testing purposes

no, I use the web interface.

I can’t help with your other question. Maybe you can change the polling rate of your thing duringyour test.
