Errors when tagging items for Hue Emulation

Setup, Configuration and Use Beginners

Hello,

I’m running OH2.2 and I am trying to tag items to sue with Hue Emulation and found I was getting errors from openhab

2018-01-29 09:06:20.572 [WARN ] [el.core.internal.ModelRepositoryImpl] - Configuration model 'test.items' has errors, therefore ignoring it: [2,46]: missing EOF at '<'

I found that I get these errors when I ad a tag to an item that has an icon defined like or a group defined with (group)

Examples:

This works:

Dimmer test_2 "Test 2  [%d %%]" ["Lighting"]

These don’t

Dimmer test_2 "Test 2  [%d %%]" ["Lighting"]  <television>

This produces the error:

2018-01-29 09:06:20.572 [WARN ] [el.core.internal.ModelRepositoryImpl] - Configuration model 'test.items' has errors, therefore ignoring it: [2,46]: missing EOF at '<'

Same issue if I remove the icon tag and add a group defination, the error just changed to complain about missing “(” instead of “<”

Anyone else run into this?

Try the tag at the end.

Dimmer test_2 "Test 2  [%d %%]" <television> (groupxxx) [ "Lighting" ]

That was it! Thanks for the help! I’m going to add that detail to the Hue Emulation wiki page.
