Hello to the community!
I have two issues with the graphical rule editor of HABmin:
No items selectable in blocks
I created some items to read channel data and send channel commands and want to use them in rules. But when I drag and drop those blocks into the “flow chart” and want to select an item via the dropdown (e. g. in the “get item” block), I just see the dropdown menu entries “item”, “Rename variable…” and “New variable…” but none of my items I created before.
My question now is: How can I select/assign an existing item in/to a block?
I cannot delete rule source code entries in the rule list shown in the left window
I don’t know why the rule source code entries are generated and shown in the list. And therefore I want to delete them. I can select them, but when I hit the “Delete” button nothing happens. Even after restarting OpenHAB these rule source code entries are still there.
My question here is: Can I delete those entries via OpenHAB (and how= or do I have to delete the files in the file system?
As rossko says, I’m not sure it was ever fully functional but if it was, it certainly isn’t now. It still generates OH 1.x style Rules. A lot has changed in the four or five years since then.
I think it put the .rules files into /etc/openhab2/rules so you should be able to delete the files from there, but that’s no guarantee that they deleting the source file will remove them from HABmin.
These days, the only parts of HABmin that are being maintained (to my knowledge) are the Zwave and Zigbee administration parts. The rest is not and hasn’t been updated for years.
Or using devices from older European manufacturers. Although OpenHAB has much better support for non-European devices than openzwave there is still a bias toward European devices. The particular example ther only has North American versions.
