Directv in 3.3

Add-ons Bindings
1

I am trying to use an Item that used to work in 2.3 like this:

Switch DirecTV_ABC “ABC” [ “Switchable” ] { http=“>[*:GET:http://192.168.1.50:8080/tv/tune?clientAddr=347A60F39712&major=15]” }

But when I try to use it in 3.3 I get an error in the got when I try to toggle the switch using a ‘List Item’ to toggle the element, see error below:

That is a configuration for HTTP binding version 1. The only HTTP binding available in OH3 is the newer Things and channels version, you’ll have to convert your config to that.

I can try again but I created a Thing like the below yesterday and it did the same error when I tried to toggle the Item that referenced the Thing instead:

Thing http:url:ABC “DtvABC” [
baseURL=“http://192.168.1.50:8080/tv/tune?clientAddr=347A60F39712&major=15”,
refresh=0] {
Channels:
Type string : Status “Status” [ stateTransformation=“JSONPATH:$.status.code” ]
}

I could be wrong, but looks like you are creating some sort of favorites list? I have something similar, but a little different approach. Here is my thing. Just queries for a few items for use later:

UID: http:url: YourUID
label: Your Label
thingTypeUID: http:url
configuration:
  authMode: BASIC
  ignoreSSLErrors: false
  baseURL: http://IPA.DD.RE.SS:8080/tv/getTuned
  delay: 0
  stateMethod: GET
  refresh: 10
  commandMethod: GET
  timeout: 3000
  bufferSize: 2048
channels:
  - id: DirecTV_title
    channelTypeUID: http:string
    label: DirecTV Title
    description: ""
    configuration:
      mode: READONLY
      stateTransformation: JSONPATH:$.title
  - id: DirecTV_callsign
    channelTypeUID: http:string
    label: DirecTV Callsign
    description: ""
    configuration:
      mode: READONLY
      stateTransformation: JSONPATH:$.callsign
  - id: DirecTV_Channel
    channelTypeUID: http:number
    label: DirecTV Channel
    description: ""
    configuration:
      stateTransformation: JSONPATH:$.major

Then I use a rule for each favorite channel. Here is one for Item TV_ABC. It might seem clunky to have a rule for each favorite channel (and there may be a better way, like command extensions on a thing), but I have a about 20, so not that much work.

configuration: {}
triggers:
  - id: "1"
    configuration:
      command: ON
      itemName: TV_ABC
    type: core.ItemCommandTrigger
conditions: []
actions:
  - inputs: {}
    id: "2"
    configuration:
      type: application/vnd.openhab.dsl.rule
      script: sendHttpGetRequest("http://IPA.DD.RE.SS:8080/tv/tune?major=10")
    type: script.ScriptAction

There is always many ways to skin a cat, thats not a bad way of doing it either and all your favorites are all in one place too. And yes I am building a favorites and a command list to press play and pause so I can integrate into Google Assistant and just tell her to turn on ESPN, ABC, NBC, NFL Network…

Yep, same concept. I use Siri, but same result.
