Get items with same metadata namspace - possible?

[Dibbler42 (Thomas Bail)]

I have a rule that sends me once a day a battery status report. The rule loops trough a group that contains all battery items. To apply the right check on a specific item i added to every battery item metatdata that tells me if it is just a switch or a level.

My question ist now: Is it possible to get a list of all items with a specifiy metadata namespace? With this i could throw away my battery group and use only the metatdata?

Isn’t that possible using the REST API? Under items/get you can set parameters for Tag and/or Metadata.
I don’t use Metadata, so I can’t verify.

Look at the last line of this post…

Amazed about JSR223 and Jython - Hue Groups Rule

Yes, I am familiar with this, but I was meaning the use of groups to organize the Items rather than flagging them with metadata. Groups are a nice bucket for holding Items. I am sure that I have shown you examples in other discussions that we have had in other forum topics. There is also an example in Mode (Time of Day). Basically, if you are using classes to generate rules, you are doing something the hard way. You mean all of an Item’s metadata at once? https://openhab-scripters.github.i…

I think that is the solution
