Homematic IP Rollershutter - Item Definition

Setup, Configuration and Use Items & Sitemaps
1
  • Platform information:
    • Hardware: x86
    • OS: Proxmox with Openhabian Linux
    • Java Runtime Environment: the One in Openhabian :slight_smile:
    • openHAB version: 4.1.2
  • Issue of the topic:
    I want to use the Homematic Ip device HmIP-BROLL-2. This device has two different Channels: One for Setting the Position and another which represents the current position.
    As I understand you can use a proxy item. But is there a easier way to define an item, which contains both- the set and the current information? Perhaps there is a new method in Openhab4.3?
    (Normaly I use text files to define my item. And I use Basic UI…)

Many thanks in advance,
Andreas

Hey Andreas.

I only use Channel 4 Level to display the current position, but also to control the roller shutter.

Many thanks for your help!

Meantime I will use the Same solution but based on items files :slight_smile:

Does anybody knows whether there is any posibility using „statetopic“ and „commandtopic“ similar to the following Mqtt example?


Bridge mqtt:broker:mqtt
{
Thing topic E6V_41 "E6V ID41" {
    Channels:
	Type dimmer : Ausgang1 [stateTopic="Relais/41/state/201", commandTopic="Relais/41/command/201", min=0, max=65535, step=1, on="65535", off="0"]
	Type dimmer : Ausgang2 [stateTopic="Relais/41/state/202", commandTopic="Relais/41/command/202", min=0, max=65535, step=1, on="65535", off="0"]
}
