Formatting sensor value received from exec-binding

[Hemanti (Henrik Hille)]

Great! Thanks a lot everyone!

I will then move the python script and try approaches 3, 5, and 6 to gain more experience with OpenHAB. Right now, I think, that in the end, approach 6 will be the one I stick with, but it’s always good to know more.

Is the rule that I linked for approach 3 a good example?

I’m not sure the REGEX is doing anything for you. I suppose it will prevent the “Failed to get reading. Try again!” message from reaching OH and generating an error in the logs.

Can you give me an example as to what REGEX is actually doing? According to this post and the following two replies, I could apparently use it to split a script output value to two items with exec-binding (v1). Now, what does REGEX do in version 2 of the binding?
