Distinguish item state changes origin from the web interface

Setup, Configuration and Use Scripts & Rules

Hi,

is it possible in OpenHab rules to distinguish item state changes that origin from rules execution and bindings from state changes that are manually carried out in the web interface?

Best regards

Not easily. See Design Pattern: Manual Trigger Detection for a few potential approaches.

Thanks for the link to the design pattern. I am still not sure about the best solution for me. I would look for a “clean” solution that does not require to much additional code.

You will look in vain. This is not something that can be easily solved.

I think I will use the proxy item approach. Thank you for providing the design pattern.
