Group for (OPEN,TILTED,CLOSED)?

[MarcoK (Marco)]

Hey there,

So my question: Is there a possibility to show the sum of OPEN and TILTED windows?

Kindly
Marco

Update Group status on sitemap?

The Group can’t be a Contact for tristate, it will have to be a Number. Then you can use SUM. Since OPEN is represented as a 1 internally the Group would be set to the number of open windows.

The Group will be OPEN is one or mo…

I worked around this by having an additional switch item for the contacts. These are ON when open or tilted and OFF when closed.
These can be used for the Group:Switch item.

Thank you for the hint. The additional switch works fine together with a related rule.

Now I have to get the contact icons work with the states ON/OFF instead of OPEN/CLOSED. Do you have also a solution therefore?

Thanks

You can specify <myicon>, and include myicon, myicon-on and myicon-off in your image folder.

One last thing according to this topic:

The number [%d] of the group switch isn’t updating automatically, only after a reload of the sitemap I can see the correct number. Is this expected behaviour?
