Get "Formatted" value based on the StateDescription in a rule

Setup, Configuration and Use Scripts & Rules
1

Hello,

I’m using the NetworkUpsBinding which gives the status from the connected ups back as a String.

When i call ups_status.toString:
It returns OL when on line power or OB when on Battery Power, etc etc,.

In the PaperUI i see the state being represented as Online or On battery, and using the rest API i see that there is a StateDescription implemented.

I want to push the status to my phone so that i know that there is some-thing happening with the power, but i want to see the value based on the StateDescription.

I am able to get the correct value using:
ups_status.stateDescription.options.filter[stateOption | stateOption.value == ups_status.state.toString].get(0).getLabel()

Is there a simpler way than this?

When searching in the forums or documentation i could not find anything related to rules in combination with state description.

Thanks,

Michael

Not to get at the state options that the binding sets for you.

An alternative is to use a simple MAP transform to convert text “OB” to “On Battery” yourself,or any other lookup mechanism.

Using scripted automation, you can use EnrichedItemDTOMapper…

from org.eclipse.smarthome.io.rest.core.item import EnrichedItemDTOMapper
enriched_dto = EnrichedItemDTOMapper.map(itemRegistry.getItem("ups_status"), False, None, None, None).transformedState
