Current Implementation
Currently, items can be filtered by Kind and Item Type in the administrative interface at URL …/settings/items/:
Requested Feature
Add the ability to filter items by their current state.
A new category “Filter by State” is proposed.
Possible filter selections should be predefined state values, such as:
-
NULL,UNDEF -
ON, OFF -
OPEN,CLOSED -
UP,DOWN -
(depending on item type)
An optional negation toggle (“Not”) should allow inverse filtering, e.g. state != NULL.
Expected Behavior
Activating a state filter should restrict the displayed item list to items whose current state matches the selected filter, analogous to the existing Filter by Kind and Filter by Item Type behavior.
Motivation
This feature would make it easier to identify items with missing or problematic state updates.
In particular, filtering for items with state == NULL helps to find items that were never updated, which often indicates configuration gaps (e.g. missing bindings, channels, or postUpdate logic in rules). This enables faster diagnostics and maintenance, especially in larger setups.
