Hi all, I have a weaterstation in my garden, which is connected to openhab and show in homekit with the homekit plugin, which is all working nice. But now the temperatures are dropping, I can see that the homekit temperature won’t drop below 10 degrees. In OpenHAB itself, the temperatures are show…

Hi Roel, please try to add “minValue” as part of meta data directly at sensor, e.g Number temp_sensor "Temperature Sensor [%.1f C]" {homekit="TemperatureSensor" [minValue=1, maxValue=27] }

Found that out earlier on when adding other items to homekit with the metadata tags. Until now I solved that by restarting the openhab service, when restarting the items then get added to homekit. Unfortunately this didn’t work for this.

I got the exact same issue. Temp stays at 10°C with logged error „ Detected value out of range“. So the only solution to show negative temperatures in HomeKit is to update to OH3?

yes, OH2 does not support negative values in items xml. other tried to set negative values from karaf or via REST API without success.

Ok.. then I will wait a few more weeks or months and update to OH3. So when the next winter will come I am prepared to show negative values :slight_smile: Edit: Maybe you can help how I can decrease the min Temp to 0°C via Rest api? This is better than 10°C. Thanks Is this correct? Metadata [ke…

i don’t use REST API so cannot help here. i use only the items text file configuration. but your metadata looks correct. you would need to reload the home app the get new value sync with home app

Just close the home app, wait a little and open again Also adding, removing or renaming of HomeKit items in openhab will force home app to reload all accessories A change of metadata alone does not trigger the accessories reload . So, it must be item name change or complete removal/add of items. H…

Ok.. removed an another item and added it again. Everything got a refresh. But the 10°C is still there :frowning: Also the log in OH still warns me:“ [WARN ] [istics.impl.base.FloatCharacteristic] - Detected value out of range 2.8. Returning min value instead.

hi, i just stumbled on the same problem, but i did not find a way to paste the config in OH3. when inputting and saving, when i come back, the config is gone. what is the format to use for OH3 “code” view ?
