HI all,
I was playing with HABot last days since the new release and I think it is a great new feature.
For lights and contacts it is working well after adding tags and groups correctly.
Now I am stuck with controlling heating and rollershutters.
I want to set the desired temperature to another value but this does not seem to work.
If I ask for the temperatures in the living room HABot shows following result:
target temperature item is defined like this Number Te_So_1OG_WoZi "Solltemperatur Wohnzimmer [%.1f °C]" <heating> (1OG_Wohnzimmer) ["Setpoint", "Temperature"] { channel="knx:device:bridge:generic:Te_So_1OG_WoZi" }
I would expect something like a slider or something to be changed…
For rollershutters I get a result like this:
But how can I tell HABot to open, close or set it to a specific value like 50%?
Only Dimmer items are rendered as sliders right now, but since it’s semantically tagged as a Setpoint, you’re right - it should take it into account and offer some controls. I’ll keep this in mind. What you can do however is design a card with the controls you want (like knobs) and attach the right attributes to it, so that it will be presented to you when asking for the temperatures.
I believe you can say “set the rollershutters in the living room to 50%” (or the German equivalent) and it’ll work - at least it does for me.
There is no training data for “open” or “close” right now (this was discussed in another thread) but in the meantime “set the rollershutters to 0%/100%” can do the trick as an imperfect workaround
Unfortunately setting the rollershutters to a certain percent value does not work. HABot shows the card and I can use it properly to move the shutters. But there is no action performed by asking HABot the way you suggested. Do you have any other idea please?
This is a matter of training data in German which probably should be enhanced or adjusted. @stritti did all the work there - and this is (of course) absolutely not criticism
What you can try for now is to have a “companion” Switch or a Dimmer item to control your rollershutter (with rules) and tag that in HABot instead, it should work better with orders… But you won’t get the nice 3-button control anymore.
