Hi!
Am I here in the right place to request some addition to the semantic model and images?
Because I am currently missing semantic model entries for
toilet_1…n
shower
pantry (speisekammer)
wardrobe / walk-in closet
brightness (as in LUX)
and an image for
dining room
brighness (LUX)
Thanks, Alex.

I’m missing moveable things, like persons with smartphones, or animals with trackers in the semantic model.
Here is a pretty long discussion on semantics: https://github.com/openhab/openhab-core/issues/1791
Note sure what you need the icons for but check this thread out: New feature in Main UI: Iconify support for icons

That’s two different things. The semantic model has nothing to do with images and already is covering all you asked for (brightness is “luminance”).

@stefan.hoehn thanks for the links. I read through the semantics discussion. I now better understand where my overall confusion on semantics comes from - legacy items. and i think I still have not completely understood the various elements due to mixing of terms in the discussion. But, never mind.
As of the icon sets, that seems to be a rabbit hole on its own
@mstormi yes, you are right. I should not have mixed the two topics. Found it - although not where I would have expected it.
There is also a pretty good article on that topic written by Rich that can be found here
There continues to be a steady stream of posts for help about the semantic model, how to use it, best practices, etc. One common problem is an assumption that the model does more than it really can right now. Another problem is the assumption that the model has to be used.
This tutorial is going to be a deepish dive into the semantic model, much deeper than is suitable for the Getting Started Tutorial. I’m also going to present my suggested best practices. I’ll try to identify those as my sugge…
