OH 3 here and installed gps tracker. Once I add the equipment from thing everything works well except the Accuracy channel doesn’t update and instead shows ‘Err’. Looking into the log I see the following message:
2021-02-04 12:58:31.018 [WARN ] [e.internal.SseItemStatesEventBuilder] - Exception while formatting value ‘2559.0551181102364’ of item GPSTrackerjf_Accuracy with format ‘%d’: d != java.math.BigDecimal
By default the system creates this item as a Number:Length however it will not update unless I manually change it to Number.
Did you define a label or State Description to use %d? Or did that come from the binding? If you did it, use %.0f instead. If it came from the binding, file an issue on the binding.
%d only works when the value is an integer. If there are any decimal places it usually doesn’t work.
Hi Rich - I actually let the system create the items completely on their own. I did a ‘create equipment from thing’ within the model and let that process create the items.
OK, in that case the %d is probably coming from the binding. Bindings can offer hints on how to display the state of Items and it’s probably erroneously using %d for that Channel/Item. You should be able to fix the problem by setting the State Description metadata to %.0f on the Item. But the binding needs to be fixed as well.
