Habpanel Server Side List

hExPY · October 19, 2017, 5:03pm

Hey guys,

I was wondering if anyone knows how to use the option “Server Side List” as data option for a Selection Widget.
I wasn’t able to find any similar questions or documentation about it.

Kind regards,

Some bindings provide valid options for the state of items linked to certain channels in their definitions, for example here in the Yamaha binding:

github.com

openhab/openhab2-addons/blob/master/addons/binding/org.openhab.binding.yamahareceiver/ESH-INF/thing/thing-types.xml#L98


		<category>switch</category>
	</channel-type>


	<channel-type id="surroundProgram">
		<item-type>String</item-type>
		<label>Surround program</label>
		<description>Select the surround program of the AVR</description>
		<state pattern="%s">
			<options>
				<option value="Music Video">Music Video</option>
				<option value="The Roxy Theater">The Roxy Theater</option>
				<option value="Cellar Club">Cellar Club</option>
				<option value="Hall in Vienna">Hall in Vienna</option>
				<option value="Hall in Munich">Hall in Munich</option>
				<option value="Roleplaying Game">Roleplaying Game</option>
				<option value="Action Game">Action Game</option>
				<option value="Sports">Sports</option>
				<option value="Mono Movie">Mono Movie</option>
				<option value="Drama">Drama</option>
				<option value="Adventure">Adventure</option>
				<option value="Sci-Fi">Sci-Fi</option>

In those cases you can simply use the “server-provided list options” setting and the available options will be those provided by the binding. Otherwise you have to use the comma-separated list alternative.

Now that explains where the entries in the Paper UI for Pioneer and Kodi come from.
